Quotes: "Okay, look, I know you don't care about the law and everything. Really, I get that. It's totally understandable, given your definitely rough upbringing. The hood is tough and all. But, seriously, a convienient store? Come on. Really? I'd at least hit a bank or something. Get more Denarii. But enough of encouraging a life of crime -- crime certainly isn't cool. Stay in school and all that. I'mma fry you for causing these nice people so much trouble."

"I can detect things, y'know? I know how many atoms the sun has. I can tell you how much energy that hovercar is losing as it goes. I can tell you precisely how many M&Ms are in that jar. I'm not some supergenius or anything, I'm just, y'know, connected to the very life energy in our universe. Not to brag or anything."

"Some old guy in some old room with more old people said that power corrupts. I disagree. I mean, if there were a superpower lottery, I hit the jackpot. Yet I'm the same guy as before. I dunno -- I'm not omniscient or anything. Maybe it's because I hadn't grasped the full extent of my powers. But even if I do, I'll keep doing what I've been doing. Helping people in need, helping people help themselves, getting rid of guys who use their gifts for evil. That's all I do, and I'm not going to ask for anything in return either. Hey, Buddha never did, and I'm pretty sure that guy is considered a pretty good role model."

Origin: Riley Sterling grew up in a middle-class neighborhood to father Robert Sterling and mother Samantha Sterling. He was great in school, surpassing most his age in grades. One day, he was accepted to a prestigious university on Venus. He was sent on a trip for his interview, but his space-craft got caught in a cosmic storm while he was out of cryosleep. The storm destroyed the ship, but Riley was fine. The storm was due to one of the universe's quantum fluctuations, ripples within the quantum foam of the universe. As a result, Riley was given powers, a connection to the phenomena in the universe at the most fundamental level, and the ability to manipulate energy and the weather. Eventually, however, his father was killed due to another Phenomenon losing control of his powers while robbing a bank. After this event, Riley decided to be a superhero.
