He gained his powers during Marine training. They had a special program designed to push the limits of how long a person could hold his breath underwater before passing out. No one died during the program, but the third time through, Dragon decided he was going to last longer than anyone else. When he finally stopped breathing, it wasn’t because he passed out, instead it was because his latent powers had activated and he no longer needed to breath.
Combat Tactics: His first action is almost always to evade just because it annoys his opponents. He never takes anything personally, and never worries about his personal safety (being virtually immune to harm). He has been training intensively in Wu Shu kung fu since he was eight years old.
Personality Traits: He is very much a morning person (he can’t sleep past 5 AM) and likes to antagonize adversaries in very subtle ways.
Appearance: Morning Dragon is from Southern California and a racial mix of European, Korean and Mexican. He has short black hair and dark brown eyes. He is 5'9" tall and weighs 140 lbs.
Powers: He has superhuman resilience, environmental independence, military experience, and lifelong kung fu training.
Notes: Model Daniel Dae Kim. Character by P. Rogers, January, 1999.
