Tom Harriman is a British mutant, who spent several years living in America before leaving to work with S.H.I.E.L.D as a consultant. At one time a Captain in the Parachute Regiment, he has a PhD in Astrophysics and, as a research scientist for Treadstone Industries, earned local renown in the Los Angeles area for his work trying to understand the physics of mutant abilities, rather than just the genetics.

Harriman has also been a costumed vigilante on several occasions. In New York he wore a ninja-inspired costume and used the name Captain Untouchable, until he was nearly killed by a pyrokinetic in a robbery-gone-wrong. In Los Angeles he chose the name Orion and adopted an archery theme inspired by British folk hero Robin Hood. Now working with S.H.I.E.L.D, he continues to use his Orion alias - albeit with a redesigned costume - to participate in missions with the Avengers without the public being aware of his involvement.

History

Family

Tom has two siblings: Jason and Katrina. Their father, Walter, was recently killed by the mutant terrorist Hurucan; during the Cold War, he was a member of the British super-team Operation Damocles. He is in a long-term relationship with Alice Kelly.

Abilities

Harriman is able to accelerate objects with telekinesis, but only in a straight line moving away from him. He describes this as "1-Dimensional Propulsive Telekinesis" (1DPT); others simply refer to his "Push Powers". He can use this to project and accelerate objects that are close to him, such as rocks, lose change, knives, and arrows; to add extra kinetic force to his punches and kicks; and to "push the ground away", slowing his descent during a fall.

As a former Captain in the Parachute Regiment of the British Army he is a trained paratrooper, a proficient marksman, and is familiar with military protocol, tactics, and leadership. He has a black belt in kung fu, and also has experience with kendo and aikido. He has a good understanding of astrophysics, particle physics, and quantum mechanics; he is also a qualified teacher and has taught High School science.

Out of Character

Jace has been around on the site since January 2007. He knows all the things, including board lore, random trivia, and really really terrible jokes and puns.
