Justin Summers is the son of the retired super heroes Atom Bomb and Magma Girl, and is the younger brother of Sunstar as well as Blue Comet's boyfriend. He's also a talented artist and graphic designer. While his design job keeps him busy it doesn't offer the excitement that his super hero daydreams provide.

Justin is youthful at heart and has an active imagination with a deep affection for video games, comic books and action figures. He also has a knack for saying the wrong thing at the wrong time which has lead to many embarrasing yet, comical, moments. He has always wished he could be a super hero like his parents and sister, but being the boyfriend of one of Golden Bay City's most celebrated heroes is still a dream come true for him.

Biography
Justin and his sister Jillian grew up very close. When she manifested her super heat-based powers while the two were in high school, Justin supported her by keeping it secret from their classmates. Using his artistic ability, he designed her Sunstar costume. Jillian was the first person Justin came out to when he realized he was gay. Together the pair kept each other's secrets and formed an unbreakable bond.

Being the son of retired super heroes Adam and Maggie Summers, as well as having a super-powered sister, Justin assumed he would one day develop powers of his own. This however was not the case. At first, Justin felt saddened that he was not like his family. When he realized as a teenager he was gay, he felt he had discovered something that made him special too. However, as most gay teens, he was afraid to tell his parents. With his sister Jillian's assistance, Justin came out to them and was surprised at their instant acceptance. They helped him to consider being gay his own "super power" which allowed him to embrace his sexual orientation.
Although Justin is comfortable being gay he's found it difficult to find a boyfriend who didn't find his love of comic books, video games, and cheesy sci-fi movies, to be childish.

Justin met Derek Maxwell, the Blue Comet, when the hero saved him from a fall that would have proven fatal. On that fateful day, Justin decided to secretly follow Sunstar on one of her adventures and ended up onboard a massive sky city built by the villainous Strato. During an encounter with the madman, Justin was flung over the edge and Blue Comet quickly caught him before he could perish.

After the incident, Blue Comet continued to check in on Justin to make sure he was alright. Soon after, Blue Comet asked Justin out on a date and he eagerly accepted. A relationship bloomed and they soon fell in love. After consulting Sunstar, Blue Comet revealed his true identity as Derek Maxwell. Shortly thereafter, Justin and Derek moved into a house of their very own. Although Justin is "out" and very comfortable with his sexuality, Derek was still closeted and struggling with living life as a gay man. Justin loves his super-powered boyfriend and does his best to help Derek find self-acceptance.
