Background: Lee comes from a family of second-generation Asian Americans. Before becoming to the wearer of the “Specialized Combat and Recon Armor”, also known as SCARAB, Lee lived a pretty normal life. During his stay in the city, Lee’s uncle Jonathan sent him on what was supposed to be a quick messenger assignment. This would start a chain of events that would lead Lee to find the SCARAB armor nearby one of Stagg Enterprises trucks. After picking it up the armor attached itself to his wrist and Lee, shocked and afraid, ran home, not knowing that he was being watched. Later that night Lee’s family would be attacked by Stagg mercenaries, causing the armor to activate and form a black flex suit around Lee while also sending a unique signal that only 1 person in the universe recognizes. While defending his parents, Green Lantern Kyle Santanna showed up and easily wiped the floor with the attackers and moved the family to Sky Front. After explaining to Blurr and the others that Lee’s suit was an advanced version of Night Sif, the J.T investigated Stagg to find that they were the ones who stole his body soon after his death in 2007 and used his armor to create a more advanced suit. Unsure of how to repay them, the J.T offered to train Lee on how to use his suit and act as protection for his family.
Personality: Lee’s a chill young man, resorting to extreme violence only when needed. He respects the no-killing code and tends to be less hard on criminals than his friends. Through the use of his armor, Lee can understand people on a more detailed level, causing himself to be more sympathetic but not enough to stop himself from hitting you with a sonic blast.
