Character Bio[]

Dr. King has risen through the ranks of Global Tech to become one of its most senior and important executives. His experience and knowledge made him a pillar of GT, and an ideal mentor for Stephanie Powell. Stephanie's rise through Global Tech largely came about from the support of King, and they share a very close working relationship. However, there are secrets to King's past that Stephanie is not aware of. Sometime before the events of the show, Dr. King began collaborating with Mrs. X and founded a secret facility in which he created several superpowered people, including Joshua King and Rebecca Jessup. It seems not all individuals joined Dr. King's program by choice, as, when Jim Powell talks to Rebecca Jessup, she says "so they got to you too?"

Powers and Abilities[]

  • Superhuman Strength - The Trilsettum serum afforded Dr. king an array of abilities, including superhuman strength. This enabled Dr. King to best Jim (another individual with superhuman strength) in a fight, before being stopped by the Antidote Serum.
  • Superhuman Speed - Dr. King also possessed the ability to move at supersonic speeds; he was able to move as fast, or possibly faster then Stephanie Powell.
  • Telepathic Mind Blocking and Torture - Dr King possessed the ability to block telepathic intrusions; when Daphne tried to use her telepathic abilities on him, he was able to mentally push her out and cause psychic pain.
  • Invincibility - Dr. king also claimed that he could not be killed, evidenced by his survival of a large piece of wood piercing his chest.
  • Healing Factor - Dr. King required the Trilsettum serum in order to prevent his health from deteriorating. While he was not shown to heal from any injuries, he did not die immediately when a piece of wood pierced his chest.
    • These abilities were all temporary and required an injection to keep them there, he also required them to stay alive before he was injected by an anti-version of the serum.

Notes[]

  • He only ever showed his abilities the same episode he died.
  • Has a crush on Stephanie Powell and wish to have a romantic relationship with her. This was demonstrated many times. Stephanie was able to use this when the Powells started to suspect him to get close to him to get information.
