- History: Born into a poor inner-city home, Kris was too young to understand what was going on as Lloyd took care of him and his his mother wasted away, until she was finally ordered to release custody of the boys to her ex-husband. Mr. Walker wasn't much better, as while he did properly feed and house the boys, any time not spent on homework or sleep was spent on self-sufficiency and athletic training. Because of this and other factors, Lloyd ran away from home, causing Kris to move once more when the government realized what had happened and took away custody rights from Mr. Walker. His mother was dead by that point, and he ended up being shuffled from family to family until his powers were revealed during an athletic event at school. Having put off the feelings of loneliness in pursuit of athletic excellence, Kris revealed his electro-magnetic powers when he was trying to catch up in a sprint before practically teleporting to the end of the race. Soon, he was moved again, because his completely normal adoptive parents simply couldn't handle him. At that point, ARMOR stepped in, and did their best to try and give the boy an ordinary childhood. ARMOR wasn't well-equipped for superhuman homeschooling, though, and even once they caught up in anticipation of future super-powered children, Kris was practically uncontrollable. Being able to turn into electromagnetic power meant there weren't a lot of ways to keep him in one place, especially when he was interested in performing super-heroic acts. Only after a lot of convincing did they manage to get him to focus on his schoolwork.
- Personality: Kris Walker is overenthusiastic, extremely powerful, and, despite issues in his upbringing, very idealistic. Somewhat competitive, he has a tendency to bite off more than he can chew on purpose, in order to discover a way out. However, being reminded that he's expected to behave like a child can put him in a dark mood, as he's often bitterly reminded of how he's nothing like most other children and doesn't have any close friends his age.
- Abilities and Resources: Kris's abilities are myriad, most powerful among them a nearly unstoppable speed that he is able to employ without injuring himself. Able to 'ride wires' and phase through most substances, he is able to take down far more experienced foes simply by virtue of them simply not being able to stop anything he does, nor hurt him in any way. He can also 'hack machines', though for the most part he's limited to simple scrambling or push-button mechanics, such as breaking a vending machine to make it constantly vend. With the support of ARMOR, who is still hesitant to let him out, he can arrange aid to solve problems that are beyond his skillset or means. He is also the only brother of Lloyd Walker, better known as Vermillion Viper.
