BIOGRAPHY
Justin Summers is the son of Adam and Margret Summers who are the retired super
heroes Atom Bomb and Magma Girl, and is the younger brother of Jillian
Summers, a.k.a. Sunstar.
Justin is youthful at heart and has an active imagination with a deep affection
for video games, comic books and action figures. Growing up he greatly admired
super heroes and daydreamed he would one day develop powers like his family.
At the time this was not the case and he often felt saddened that he had no
special powers.
Justin and
his sister Jillian have always had a very close relationship.
When she manifested her powers while they were in high school, Justin helped
her
keep it secret from their classmates. Using his artistic talent, he designed
her Sunstar costume. When he realized he was gay, Jillian was the first person
he came out to. Together the pair kept each other’s secrets and formed
an unbreakable bond.
Being gay,
Justin felt he had finally discovered something that made him
special. However, as most gay teens, he was afraid to tell
his parents. With
Jillian’s
assistance, Justin came out to them and was surprised at their instant
acceptance. They encouraged him to consider being gay his own “super
power” which
allowed him to embrace his sexual orientation.
All throughout
high school and college Justin led an open life, never hiding
his orientation from
those around him. However, it was difficult for him
to find a steady boyfriend who didn’t view his interests in comic
books and super heroes as childish. Still single upon college graduation,
he moved
into the city and landed a graphic design job at an ad agency. However,
the job didn’t offer the excitement that his super hero daydreams
provided.
Later, after
several unsuccessful tries at love, Justin met Diego Fuentes.
Tired of being rejected by guys, he impulsively moved
in with him and
thought he had at last found a meaningful relationship. However, it
soon became
apparent that the two couldn’t connect. Justin tried sharing
his interests by taking Diego shopping for comics and toys. Uninterested,
Diego complained that
Justin’s hobbies just weren’t “gay enough” and
insisted they go clubbing every weekend instead. Justin tried but six
rocky months later,
he found himself dumped and in need of a new place to live.
Fate intervened
and shortly after, Justin met Blue Comet. It wasn’t long
before the hero revealed his true identity as Derek Maxwell and asked
Justin out on a date. With Derek, Justin felt a connection that he
had never experienced
before, their relationship bloomed and they quickly fell in love.
