Carter Cromwell comes from a well-to-do family of rather low placed aristocrats (his grandfather holds a nonheriditary peerage) that operates a successful company that produces hunting equipment, like bows, arrows and other accessories. Carter was an avid hunter and a gifted amateur in the world of competitive archery. There were even hopes of his competing at the Olympic level. He was ten years old the night comet passed over head, and his powers have been blossoming slowly ever sense then... culminating in his gaining telescopic vision, preternatural dexterity and most bizarrely the ability too see through almost all inorganic matter! Carter now serves as spokesman to his families line of Arcarius Archery© products, and has enrolled at the UN's Gifted Youth Institute seeking help refining and controlling his "x-ray" vision which he finds very difficult to control... keeping it "shut off" for any length of time causes massive headaches, and worse still it ruins his aim!
QUOTE: “Ne’er you mind the distance, pet! I can make this shot.”
COSTUME: Despite Carter's frequent grumbles and gripes about being compared to Robin Hood, his custom picked costume does invoke a certain likeness to a medieval bowmen. Dark leather pants and black leather boots, and a dark green hooded jacket adorned with many small pockets for gear and equipment. He wears open fingered, wrist length gloves on both hands, with extra padding on his shooting hand. On his back he wear a very large, almost backpack-like quiver, filled to the brim with arrows- mostly razor sharp, but the few blunt ones have color-coded notches so he can store them easily (in a fight its almost remarkable how he can draw and reload so quickly, telling his arrows apart almost as if by touch!). His bow is a surprisingly simple affair, a double recurve longbow of dark black ash, with carved oak embellishments.

(And yes, I am at once attempting to be like Oliver Queen, and yet completly different... No armchair communism for Carter, he's a dyed-in-the-wool Tory conservative and proud of it!)
