Immortal Man in Darkness (New Earth)

The most recent in a line of Chinese pilots bonded to a living Durlan fighter craft. Apparently, his bond with the craft allows him to alter its shape and even diffuse it into a smoke-like substance. According to Sasha Bordeaux, this type of bond eventually breaks down a human's molecular structure. ^[1]

Powers and Abilities

Powers

The suit worn by Immortal Man-in-Darkness is actually a semi-living spacecraft that bonds to the wearer and gives him incredible powers, but unfortunately, it slowly kills him at the molecular level. Powers while wearing it include flight, shape-shifting, body armor, grappling arms, an internal computer, space and ocean flight, and the ability to diffuse into a smoke-like substance.

Notes

According to an interview with Tony Bedard, this is an elite pilot from the Chinese Air force who is recruited to fly the most advanced fighter plane on Earth, the Dragonwing. The plane is half-alive, a mix of stealth technology and captured alien tech. Together, the Dragonwing and Immortal Man-in-Darkness have a symbiotic relationship. But the downside is that flying the Dragonwing slowly kills the pilot, so they need to keep a whole team of pilots trained and ready. He's not really immortal, he just keeps getting replaced."
