Publisher:DC Comics


Josiah Power was a successful corporate attorney in San Francisco who thoroughly enjoyed the challenges of his job. But his greatest challenge was yet to come!

When metagene bombs struck Earth during the Invasion, he was literally thrown off his feet. At first he didn’t think anything had happened to him, beyond being shaken up a bit. But soon he discovered it was far more than a simple shake-up. During a trial at the federal court, a strange form of energy manifested from him, causing him to change from human to a strange platinum colored rock-like humanoid possessing a degree of invulnerability & superhuman strength (kind of like a lighter colored version of Marvel’s ever-loving blue-eyed Thing). Unfortunately this public display effectively sank his law career. He spent a while wondering what he should do with his life.

Eventually he decided to start a business on his own, one that would allow him to both use his professional & metahuman skills. He founded the Power Company, a corporation that would allow other businesses to contract superhuman services on a professional basis. He mostly runs the business end, only using his superpowers when emergencies require it. He is a gay man & his partner Rupe has been shown several times in the Power Company series.
