Character birthday

Drone, aka Martin Cherry, a self-styled super-villain who crafted wings for himself to enable him to fly and made a poison which he can inject into enemies by means of syringes attached to his wrists.

He is associated with the Swarm, although the association is an uneasy one. He alone is not a genetic variant who can take the form of an insect, and for that reason, Drone suspects he is not fully accepted – but at the same time, he is the only one who can take off his costume and move among humans undetected – so they need him.
