About



The Infamous Cicada was once an average person working late one night until an accident involving radioactive/hybrid cicadas left him with abnormal bug powers. Due to many of his disadvantages in battle he relays on gadgets, magic, and intelligence to fight his battles, greatly using misdirection and distraction to attack his enemies and help his allies.


Bio



Issue#1 Cicada Shells

When Andy graduated from High School he begin working at a local collage, working as a janitor for the science department for about two years. One night while hiding in a storage room taking a break, some bank robbers took refuge in the science department. When a firefight erupted between the robbers and the police, a stray bullet smashed a container behind Andy, while he was still reading his comics. Andy found himself attacked by thousands of mutated cicadas hidden in the container, he was found the next morning in a shock induced coma and transported to the hospital.

Issue#2 Why? Why not?

After months of recovery, Andy, who should have died due to the high toxins from the mutated cicada bites, was let go from the hospital. Just days after the incident Andy began showing abnormal signs; uncontrolled humming tics, absorbing energy from household objects, rapid recovery near death experiances, and suffering abnormal bug like habits. Andy suspected he gained cicada like abilities and decide to use them. Filling out a help wanted ad, Andy Rich found him self a job as a henchman...

Issue#3 Enter "The Bloated Fly"

Andy Rich, now one of many henchmen for a small time villain "the Bloated Fly"; a fat man in a fly outfit, begin robbing banks and stores dressed up in a brightly colored moth costume. After two months of this Andy started to fell like he didn't belong here, until finally after months of planning "The Bloated Fly" and his "Hench-Moths" decided to rob a local charity event on the tallest building in the city. During the raid "The Bloated Fly" and his "Hench-moths" used gliders to scale the building, Andy, having got lost, ended up grounded trying to take the elevator up while a female officer who was 9 months pregnant decided to charge in and take the same elevator, it isn't until the fourth floor that the two realize they were not alone and held a stand off. Meanwhile "The Bloated Fly" decided not only to steal from the Charity event, but to use them as hostages against his right-hand man's judgment, they cut the power to the elevator leaving Andy and the Female Officer stuck in the elevator...

Issue#4 Cicada Luck

Now stranded alone with the officer in the elevator. Andy, feeling betrayed slumps to the floor and begin talking to the Officer, Sharon Bowater, both exchanging their stories to past the time. After a few hours Bowater begins going in to labor. After several hours of panicking, Andy helps deliver the baby, while holding it Andy has a moment and decides to turn over a new leaf, just as the elevator begins to move. As the doors open, Andy and Bowater sees "The Bloated Fly and his "Hench-moths" are getting ready to leave and are about to shoot everyone there so they can leave no witness, as Andy tries to reason with the villain, "The Bloated Fly" (greatly upset about: Andy, the newborn, and his henchmen) fires Andy and shoots him in the chest leaving him in the elevator and begun rounding up everyone to the center of the room...

Issue#5 Tithonus' Curse

As the villain "The Bloated Fly" begins to gloat about his success and how there is not a hero around to help them, a screeching noise is heard causing everyone to hit the ground covering their ears. While he is covering his ears, "The Bloated Fly" is picked up and thrown across the room, the henchmen turn and see Andy standing there. Using his abnormal abilites, Andy begins fighting them overpowering them easily, dodging and attack, until only Andy and "The Bloated Fly" remain. Scared and alone "The Bloated Fly" gives up and is arrested, Bowater having watched the entire incident questions on how Andy was able to defeat them, Andy reveals he was the only super-powered person in the gang and had kept it a secret, and was only able to survive thanks to his Regenerative healing...

Issue#6 Song of the Cicada

After a few months of redesigning his old henchman costume and his glider, Andy unofficially starts his hero career, stopping a few small time crooks and helping Detective Bowater with some of her cases. After awhile Cicada decides to heads to Millennium city to try and master his abilities...


Personality


Andy Rich had a normal childhood for a shy teenager, usually hiding in his "shell" away from social activities and his classmates. After the accident and his transformation to Cicada, Andy slowly became a different person, mostly due to his line of work involving cults, and seeing the cruel side of people; slowly becoming more self-centered, and a lot more distrustful of others.

In battle he tries to take out the stronger enemies or attract his opponents attention: believing it will somehow help his allies.


Cicada's Fighting Style


Cicada tends to use distracting tactics, such as luring or drawing the enemies' attention from his allies. His best abilities are his ranged attacks; which distract and open an enemy up for attacks, and his siphon abilities which allows him to either heal himself or some of his allies in the heat of battle. Cicada's reflex suit also provides defensive abilities ranging from hardening like armor. His Glider is also his greatest asset, capable of propelling him across great distances and setting him up for aerial attacks.
