Mycroft
-A highly advanced AI developed by Wyatt's father, Mycroft seems capable of a multitude of miraculous feats of computation and electronic manipulation. An invaluable tool as long as Wyatt has an available means of communication with him.
--Earbud for audio uplink with Mycroft. For all intents and purposes it looks like (and can function as) a radio. It operates on an encrypted frequency. It should be noted that without a means of 'faster than light transmission' he is bound by how long a response will take to arrive from Mycroft's main systems in Knowhere
--Sunglasses (also come in a reading glasses variant) specially wired for a video uplink to Mycroft, can also function as a computer to a degree with data storage/transference. Capable of recording video and some audio. Also transmits on an encrypted frequency.
---Mycroft's capacities are ill-defined (even to Wyatt) but he has shown himself to be a surprisingly good support unit. When initially constructed, the AI's duty was to keep watch over multiple communications frequencies and catalog disasters, villains at work, and other events that might require superheroic assistance. From there, he was meant to catagorize them based on priority and available resources to dispatch heroes where needed.
In essence, Mycroft STARTED as a police dispatcher. Over time, however, the AI evolved and took on additional tasks including: Hacking, interfacing with other computer networks, even those not necessarily connected to the internet, translations, surveillance, and a high enough degree of sentience to modify his own programming (these modifications have, however, proven to be entirely benign and even beneficial to those he likes).
In essence, Mycroft has become like his namesake. As Sherlock described his brother...
The conclusions of every department are passed to him, and he is the central exchange, the clearinghouse, which makes out the balance. All other men are specialists, but his specialism is omniscience.
Lestrade
The result of a challenge Wyatt accepted from his sister to design his own AI he put together 'Lestrade'. Although notably less sophisticated in design than Mycroft, and occasionally somewhat... glitchy (others might call him 'dense') Lestrade seems to display a great deal of loyalty to his creator. Initially given a humanoid machine shell to act as a lab assistant and record keeper for Wyatt's projects, currently Lestrade often seems to accompany him on most of his adventures.
Scarf
-Not just for improvised Fourth Doctor cosplay, the martial art of Bokator includes a number of weapons including the use of silk scarves. Wyatt keeps one on hand for just such a situation.
Resources
Wyatt's primary scientific training is in chemistry, and while he can create wonderful medications (or improvise weapons) based on what can be found on any particular planet, he's found it far more expedient to prep various chemicals in advance. The most common items he utilizes in this way are as follows
1. Simple tear gasses
2. Sedatives of various strengths
3. Explosives (when mixed)
4. Muscle relaxants
5. A variation of the 'Black Out Bomb'
6. Acids of varying strengths
7. General anesthetics
8. Fire retardant foams
--Among other things. Given time he can create most chemically based items he might need.
---In addition, Wyatt carries an extensive 'first aid kit'.
-Soft landing Pad.
--Simply put, a device containing a compressed, but quickly expanding 'gel' and pressurized air enough to rapidly inflate it. With this on-hand, Wyatt and others can survive falls from great height. Falls that should crush bones, or end his life.
-Corded wire
--This is used as a conventional 'ranged' weapon, occasionally as a whip even when his scarf is deemed inadequate for the task. In particularly rough planets, or if it fits a disguise he is using, Wyatt may carry a chain with a weight or padlock at one end.
-The Costume
--Since arriving in space, Wyatt has put considerable effort into the creation of a 'costume' of sorts, as he lacks the equipment of such space-faring police forces as the Nova or Green Lantern Corps. He has taken advantage of the variety of strange materials available to his experimentation.
----The 'current generation' of Wyatt's costume is light, flexible and it appears to actually be composed of cloth. In fact, it IS. However, this cloth has been treated by a specialized chemical, of Wyatt's own design (in fact, most of his wardrobe has been treated in this fashion); this chemical has the effect of 'hardening' the cloth against impacts. Knives will glance aside when used against him. Bullets are stopped in their tracks with their kinetic impact greatly reduced (but still painful) It SHOULD be noted that, given sufficient time a laser will still burn through the costume.
---In addition to the chemical treatment of his costume, it is running through with a sophisticated network of relays, allowing for 'smart camouflage'. The costume will modify its coloration and brightness based on environment in order to better hide himself.
---- The wiring for his suit can also be used to provide a powerful 'shock' when needed, this is generally powerful enough to incapacitate a normal human for hours at a time, and even some superhumans, albeit for a shorter span.
-----The wiring also provides extra sturdiness to the costume itself, essentially providing additional 'body armor' along with the chemical treatment.
-----It should also be noted that, due to its lighter, more compact nature, this is obviously a much more portable costume.
Wyatt likes helmets
-The helmet is a full facial mask of similar material to the rest of his costume. It provides ample protection against blunt trauma and firearms/lasers as well as knives and falls.
--Inside of the device is an array of electronic devices, including radio receivers/senders that allow him to maintain communication with others. They operate under an encrypted channel.
---Visual filters to adjust his vision to changing light. In addition, they allow for additional spectrums, such as thermal and ultraviolet detection. Also included is a binocular function from a button hidden beneath a panel.
----A small rebeather can be accessed within the mask, allowing him to pass through inhospitable atmospheres.
-----The Helmet, much like the glasses and earbud give a visual and audio uplink to Mycroft (can be jacked into most conventional computer systems as well)
-Jamie's inventions
--To better prepare himself for the tasks he has taken to, Wyatt has recently raided his sister's old working space for a number of her own creations.
1. HUD contact lenses.
-A true miracle of technological miniaturization, just as his helmet provides a constant stream of tactical data while he wears it, these contact lenses can do the same, as well as provide a visual uplink to Mycroft.
A few special modifications allow him to use his power even with the lenses in.
2. Magnetic Field Generator/Laser defractor
- Small and compact, Wyatt built it into his belt. For those moments when his standard costume wouldn't stand up to the firepower, he has this device to further shield himself.
3. Climbing Gloves
-Actually a joint venture between the siblings, with Jamie engineering the material so that it can hold the weight of a full grown adult (and then some! Up to roughly a ton) with a relatively small surface area. Wyatt, then, created the adhesive, a tricky endeavor as it needed to be strong enough to cling, but still allow one to move their hands.
-Ship
-He's yet to give it a new name, but through interesting circumstances (a rigged card game) Wyatt was able to acquire his own space ship for... adventures on his own.
Powers:
-Contact
--Like Joseph Wilson, it is believed Wyatt possesses the capacity to 'jump' into another nearby being by making eye contact. However, it has been 'supercharged' by his exposure to cosmic radiation, allowing Wyatt to possess beings of virtually any species with equal aplomb.
---It should be noted that this variation of 'Contact' appears to lack the distinct downside of 'retains every personality he jumps into'.
Skills:
-Peak Human speed/agility for a male human of Wyatt's general size and build.
--This has less to do with inherited genes and more to do with his early training against someone who WAS Superhuman. Rose started off his training making sure her son would be quick enough to escape when a situation went 'above his paygrade'. Wyatt seems to have continued the effort, designing new training regimens with an eye towards building up his speed and reaction times.
-Olympic Level Conditioning
--Strength, Stamina, Physical Endurance, and other physical attributes are all at the level of a competing Olympian.
Genius Intellect
-Wyatt is a brilliant young man, with a particular gift for Chemistry. His level of knowledge in this field could easily be considered doctorate level. In fact, he HAS earned a doctorate from a distance learning program on one various space-faring worlds of the Universe.
--In addition, since his arrival in space, Wyatt has devoted a considerable amount of work on learning what might be termed 'Xenobiology'. He studies how other species work quite thoroughly.
-Skilled Martial Artist
--Wyatt has been trained to various levels in a number of martial arts, however his primary base is in Bokator (a nearly extinct martial art of Cambodian origin) and Pradel Serey (a local Cambodian equivalent to Muay Thai). He has also studied to varying degrees: the Craggite martial art that will (on Earth) one day be called 'Tri-Jitsu', boxing, judo and Gordanian combat methods.
-Multi-Lingual
--Earth Languages Wyatt speaks are English, Cambodian, and French. Specifically he is able to speak these languages at a 'native fluency' level.
---Wyatt is also capable of 'speaking' American Sign Language
----Alien Languages include: Interlac, Kree, and Rannian ('enough to get by')
-Educated
--Wyatt possesses doctorate level knowledge of the field of Chemistry
---In addition to chemistry, Wyatt possesses a knowledge of associated fields, such as biology.
-Improvisation
--Although specializing in Chemistry, Wyatt is quite capable of putting various devices together with only what he may find around.
---He is also quite skilled at creating a chemical compound with at least some of the properties he desires with cheaper stuff (Such as what you'd find in any supply closet.)
-Skilled Detective
-Wyatt possesses a keen analytical mind, capable of putting together a 'mystery' like the pieces of a puzzle.
Weaknesses: (3 minimum)
1.) I'm only human... for now.
Wyatt IS still basically human and as such he is able to become injured, fatigued or ill as easily as any other human.
2.) How am I supposed to see a forest with all these TREES in my way!?
Wyatt can be... singlemindedly obsessive when he takes to a task. This can make him pretty easy to catch by surprise.
3.) Our mission to boldly go where no man has gone before.
He grew up on Earth and is now in space. He wants to see EVERYTHING and go everywhere. Show him an uncharted planet and he'll run blindly towards the danger.
4.) Stepping up to the challenge of our rivals
Wyatt is an exceptional individual by any normal metric. Unfortunately the people he associates with are NOT normal. It's uncertain if he's trying to prove he belongs with the group or if he really has that little of an understanding of his own limitations, but Wyatt has no issue jumping in head first in a situation he is woefully unprepared for.
5.) Copy/Paste please.
While Wyatt's 'contact' power seems to lack the drawback of keeping the psyche of someone who he's leaped into in his head, he still retains certain mannerisms and traits from his 'victims' for a short period of time. The duration usually depending on how long the 'contact' lasted.

Children: N/A
Extended family: Slade "Deathstroke" Wilson (Grandfather). Joseph "Jericho" Wilson (Uncle). Grant "Ravager" Wilson (uncle. Deceased). Lillian "Sweet Lili" Worth (Grandmother. Deceased).
THE REST[/u][/b]
Personality:
Wyatt is outgoing and enthusiastic, enjoying his own brand of humor (which involves, perhaps, more puns than most other people's brand) and out of costume he seems to take almost nothing seriously, viewing most of what happens around him as another form of entertainment. A way to remain occupied.
However, while he has a seemingly easy going nature, Wyatt has inherited that infamous 'Wilson Temper' and can be set off by odd things every so often. Usually however it is simply the straw breaking a camel's back that does it.
While he is unlikely to be the aggressor (usually) he also has no problem interposing himself in someone's fight if he feels that the odds are unfair. This had lead to more than a few bruises and strange injuries over his life, but he generally shrugs it off as 'the cost of doing business'.
Stubborn to a fault, once he's set himself on a course of action very often it will take nothing short than an act of God (or whatever deity is conveniently nearby) to dissuade him.
Add to this that, as many who are classified as 'gifted' Wyatt has a certain need to stimulation, as a result he is often throwing himself into a new project. Studying this, creating that, or grabbing star charts and heading off to a new planet that 'sounds interesting'.
History:
The birth of Wyatt finds itself inexplicably tied to one Lex Luthor. The curious might demand to know 'how' and the answer is a simple one. Wyatt's father had been one of several young prodigies that was offered a full scholarship and internship by LexCorp (it does, after all, make such great publicity).
Despite Jay's young age, being barely sixteen at the time, he was offered this internship based on test scoring and a few papers he managed to get published in a minor scientific journal. Lex found himself seeing a potentially brilliant prodigy that he would have rather had under his thumb than being taken in by any of his number of rivals.
The internship had even gone along quite swimmingly until this young man, Jay Andrews, discovered a few anomalies within the LexCorp computer systems. These would eventually lead him to the discovery of one of Lex's 'Anti-Superman' plots, and seeking both to stop Luthor and protect himself Jay turned to the Teen Titans.
Unable to contact Superman, Jay was forced to attempt to bring his information towards a group he could contact. In this case he chose the Teen Titans, using a chatroom attached to their website (the same one, in fact, Kid Devil would at one time utilize to organize a party inside the tower.) to bring his information to the Titans themselves. Somehow, he was able to convince them enough of his credibility to investigate his claims.
Jay's father would become a casualty of this, however, when he confronted Luthor on his own. Although what truly happened can never be completely known, the logs indicate that Benjamin Andrews entered LexCorp, and then... disappeared between the time he entered and the time his body was discovered without ever logging out. This even is what led to Jay seeking asylum from the Titans.
It was here that Jay would encounter the 'ultimate bad girl', Rose Wilson. The two... sort of hit it off at first with her deciding to teach him how to defend himself. Time would pass and the intensity of their relationship would ratchet up ever more until first one... and then a second child were born. It was a mostly normal (for superheroes) life for them... mostly. Until a third came... and then the unholiest of unholy alliances struck at the heroes of Earth. Wyatt, Jamie, and Dahlia were bundled off with their mother, sent to a safe place while Jay would remain on Earth. Somehow... even this turned out to be workable. Three geniuses now living amongst alien races and technology anywhere from decades to centuries more advanced than what's to be found on Earth? He loved it!
Setting up camp on Knowhere, a home, a lab (even if he had to share it with Jamie and his father) was perfect. Sure, there were the usual issues with 'moving' but he quickly acclimated. Jamie and Wyatt had even collaborated on a few experiments, specifically... Cosmic Radiation... that one, though, had an unfortunate ending. An explosion, leaping into his sister's mind while she tried to shield him physically. The two had spent a few days in a coma... or physically they had been. Mentally the two had been arguing and fighting over control of the body until he had finally been expelled.
Jamie had a whole new set of powers to master and the stress had finally activated Wyatt's own meta-gene leading to an entire new set of problems. But, they were big kids now and they had new friends, especially among the Guardians of the Galaxy. Like his sister Wyatt seems to have made his home among this particular traveling band of misfits... but his boredom means he often heads off on his own as well going wherever he hears of 'something interesting'.
Face Claim/Play by: Alexander Ludwig
Sample RP:
Wyatt found himself pacing the rather confined space his ship offered, following his steps was a humanoid machine. An android some might have called it. Or a robot, or automaton. Either way it dutifully followed each of the human's steps. "So," the blonde finally spoke. "I have a ship. A space ship. I have something people have dreamed about since Jules Verne wrote 'To the Moon'. Of course, he theorized shooting people from a canon to the moon. Not important." He argued with himself, interrupting his own tangent before clasping his hands together and rubbing them in excitement.
"I have a space ship!" He repeated gleefully. "All of the Universe is now open to me. Maybe I should go see one of the big Empires? Visit a capitol planet?" He clicked his tongue.
"You have been there." The android, Lestrade, remarked offhandedly. "Your father took you to Kree Space before."
"Mmm, I don't care for them anyhow." Wyatt shrugged it off. "I could go see Rann." He suddenly suggested. "We could go see Rann." he corrected himself a moment later. "Think about it, one of the Universe's most complex large-scale teleportation systems. A planet that's been defended by a human for years so I might be some kind of minor celebrity and-" Here he grinned once more, pivoting on his heel "and, a large Tameranean population. Yes, yes I think we should go and visit Rann, don't you?"
"It seems as if your mind is already made up."
"Oh, it absolutely is." Wyatt agreed, hopping into the pilot's seat. He spent a few moments adjusting it to his comfort level before metaphorically hitting the ignition. "Off we go!"
