Tommy Slayton

Jason Thomas Sullivan Slayton, otherwise known as Tommy, is a young metahuman hero and adventurer based out of the Oregon city of Jericho.

Early Years:
Tommy is the son of Peter Mitchell Slayton, an architect and former naval officer, and his wife Karen. He is also the younger brother of Isaac Clark (named for two of his father's favorite science fiction authors in in Isaac Asimov and Arthur C. Clarke) and by extension, Tommy is a member of the extended Slayton family as his father is a second cousin to Patrick Finn Slayton Senior, one of the brothers of Marcus Alexander Slayton-the head of the Slayton family.

Tommy was named in part after family friend Thomas Sullivan Magnum the Third, a man that his father had served with in the US Navy when he was a younger man. Growing up, he was otherwise known as "J.T.", "Jace", and even "Magnum" (the surname of his namesake), but he would become more commonly known as "Tommy" with only his closest friends being even allowed to use the nickname of "Magnum".

Tommy was a very healthy and active child in his youth and had a pretty standard childhood as he would watch cartoons and play outside with his friends, and he was also a well organized and bright student..however he would often be caught up in the misadventures of his friends Ben Pierce, Curtis Zane, Chris Armstrong, Victor Falman, Dwayne Mustang, Tim Elric, Kenny McCormick, and Eddy Marik.

When he was fourteen, a new kid moved to Jericho by the name of Colin Jovanka-Ward and the two teens quickly became as close as thieves.
