Character birthday

Electroman. Electroman's original life plan was to retire early and travel the world with his wife, Ginny. However, a few weeks after he retired, they had to cancel their world cruise because Ginny was diagnosed with terminal cancer.

After her death, his daughters persuaded him to take the cruise, but he hated every minute as most other passengers were couples, and he missed his wife.

He threw his energy into perfecting a suit of power armour which led to his being recruited by Combat Team Delta.

Electroman is older than most of his team mates – he is in his 60s, but is still in excellent health.
