Jonathan (Friction)

Real Name: Jonathan Wilson.
Codename: Friction.
Age: 30 years.
Height: 1.90m
Occupation: "E-list" hero (not registered with major agencies) and children's party entertainer (as "Professor Inertia"), basically doesn't have a steady job and lives off odd jobs.
Base of Operations: Port Delton, a very small town near Gotham City (lives in a run-down apartment with a leaky bedroom).
Affiliation: None (considered "difficult to work with").

Jonathan was a brilliant physics student who worked in a warehouse to pay for his studies. After an accident at a technology factory involving an inertial energy device that the media barely covered, he fell into a coma for months, and thus gained his powers upon waking up; nobody cared about him.
He lost everything he had before, having to start from scratch, with no one, nothing, he decided to use his unbidden powers to help people.
While other heroes went to Metropolis seeking glory, he stayed in Port Delton, the town everyone ignores that's located near Gotham City. He lives off odd jobs at children's parties and spends what's left fighting local crime, hating every second of others' ingratitude, but incapable of turning his back on those in need.
The people of Port Delton are extremely ungrateful to Jonathan, always belittling his heroic deeds for the city. He is the only hero that city has, and yet they treat him like trash and with disdain.
He's rude, difficult to deal with, and also has a strong temper, but if you need help, he'll always be there.
Jonathan dislikes his own powers, considering them "weak and useless" or referring to them as "a load of crap" because they are difficult to use; he doesn't see their own value.
However, if someone cries for help, Friction will run towards the danger to save whoever needs help, without thinking twice.

Physical appearance: Athletic and muscular, but with the posture of someone carrying the weight of the world on their shoulders.
Face: Straight, shoulder-length brown hair, sparse and patchy beard, dark brown eyes, and dark circles under his eyes from lack of sleep.
Costume: A gray tank top under a worn black hooded cape. Brown fingerless gloves, he wears an open vest covered in multicolored sequins, a gift from children at parties he attended as a "magician".
Style: Dark jeans ripped at the knees and a pair of extremely worn-out brown All Stars (which he refuses to throw away).

Jonathan is the definition of a "reluctant hero with a heart of gold." He is:
Grumpy and Irritable: He complains about the weather, the price of everything, and especially the stupidity of the villains and the ingratitude of the people he saves.
Silent Altruist: Despite cursing and complaining, he's always the first to jump in front of a deadly blow to save a civilian.
Superior Intellect: Extremely intelligent and tactical. He sees the world as a series of vectors and points of failure.
Proud and Lonely: He hides his neediness and weariness behind a cynical facade, masking his difficulties with a dry, acidic humor, tinged with slightly self-deprecating undertones. He has an almost childlike jealousy of his equipment and his space.

Main power:

Dimensional Fixation (Absolute Inertia)

Jonathan can "lock" any object, or himself, into space-time.
Pseudo-Flight: By alternately attaching his sneakers to the air, he can "run" through the sky, creating invisible steps.
Immovable Shield: You can fix your cape in mid-air, turning it into a barrier that no projectile can penetrate.
Anchoring: It can become impossible to move, allowing it to withstand the impact of a train without shifting.

Superhuman Strength
His physiology has been altered to withstand the stresses of the Fixation. He possesses enough strength to lift trucks and deliver blows that shatter concrete.

The Physics of Power: Under ideal conditions (which is extremely rare, but can happen in a moment of absolute rage or if he finally manages to eat well and rest), the use of Fixation on the muscles alters the force and inertia vectors of his own body.

Maximum Vector Power: Normally, Jonathan limits his strength so as not to accidentally kill people or destroy the city he protects (even if they are ungrateful). But when he applies Dimensional Fixation to redirect and multiply the kinetic energy of his punches, he ceases to be merely "strong" and becomes a devastating force of nature.
A punch powered by Fixation doesn't just break a wall; it creates a pressure point so violent it can send an Omega-Level monster flying or shatter the ground in a shockwave. Seeing Friction use this potential frightens even A-Level heroes, because it reveals that the "cannon fodder hero" of the E-Series has been holding back catastrophic power all along, purely out of exhaustion, boredom, and moral decency.

Tactical Intellect
Capable of analyzing the battle scenario in seconds, using physics to its advantage to defeat much more powerful enemies through levers and points of inertia.
