Omni-Man died at the hands of his nemesis Fallout when his child was only a baby, and when his powers were not passed on to his son or grandson, it was assumed that the potential for superhuman powers was not present in his descendants until Heironymus' powers activated when he was sixteen years old.<br/><br/>Heiro, as he is called by his closest friends initially chose not to become a superhero, instead continuing his education and living a normal life despite his fantastic powers until Fallout re-appeared, now an insane radiation-mutated horror seeking revenge on the descendant of his old nemesis. Heiro managed to defeat Fallout, but the radiation and the damage from the battle, much of it caused by the powerful but inexperienced Heiro, killed nearly forty people, and Heiro swore that he would never allow anyone else to die because of his failures.<br/><br/><strong>Powers:</strong>Despite their seemingly physical nature Heiro's powers stem from his psionically-awakened mind as a result of his great grandfathers radiation-induced genetic mutation. He manipulates matter and kinetic energy subconsciously, which takes the form of his superhuman strength and durability and rapid healing factor as he constantly enhances and repairs damage to his own body.
