Bolt Coleman

"I don't fear him because of his appearance, not just because he chooses to only attack during a terrible storm. I fear him because of every storm in the distance. With every dark cloud on the horizon, I see him, the creature that dashes towards trees, setting them ablaze to let his skinny, sickly figure become a shadow against the fire. The thing that cares not where or who it strikes. The one that death tries to follow but cannot keep up. That...Bolt Kouleman, has found the perfect way to instill fear. He makes us all look at the common storm cloud and see him. Anyone can become a face of evil, but to place the face of evil on such a common thing, THAT is how you achieve becoming the true embodiment of horror."

-Solomon the Bobcat on why he fears Bolt.

Appearance

Bolt Coleman is of a tall and thin Mobian figure, even skinnier than Solomon The Bobcat, but it has not been determined by the public, or anyone, what species he is. He wears loose rags that are tied around his whole body with the exception of his chest, upper arms, and legs. Even his eyes are shrouded by the old black cloth. Whatever the rags do not cover reveals pale skin and thin silver covering bone. One witness was able to get a good look at Coleman before he vanished. The witness's testimony revealed that the rags covering where his ears and tail should be are stained with blood seeping through the cloth.

Personality

Since none have ever truly talked to him, people only have his actions to look at to determine what kind of creature he is. With that being said, he is hardly a living creature. It has no preference on who it kills or what it destroys. If you are under a black cloud, you will most likely become a pile of ash under the foot of this monster. Some have thought that it is not trying to kill or destroy, but is just a being trying to move from one location to the other leaving an unintentional blazing footprint. These people have been dissuaded after it was seen on a hill, extending a staff over a village and annihilating everything within as volts leaped from the staff.

History

Throughout recorded history, there tells many tales of a Mobian who travels with the storms. Every continent has writings about him that span throughout centuries. Every one of them, the same: An abnormally black storm arrives, the silhouette of a Mobian is seen with every lightning strike, and then...death. In the eyes of every living being on the planet, he has become the embodiment of lightning's destructive power. People tried to hide from every storm, but whenever one arrives and they are well hidden, he doesn't come. Entire cities prepare for him every single storm that comes, and all those preparations seem to be in vain. And, as always, once people think that they are safe, they let their guard down. When that day comes, a storm arrives ant whatever population is living near that populated area is wiped from existence. Solomon came face to face with him once when he was trying to get people to a nearby bunker during a storm. It only shook its head at Solomon and vanished with the next lightning strike. Ever since then, Solomon has given the creature a name: Bolt Coleman.

Powers

He has the power to travel at the speed of light in the form of a lightning bolt. This means he only travels where it is possible for lightning to strike. As a result, dark clouds are seen as his chariots. He also carries a staff with him, which he uses as a way to expel concentrated shots of lightning to a specific area, even if that specific area is an entire city.

Weaknesses

Over the centuries, his visits have been slowly becoming less constant, making many imply that he is losing his power over a large time span. The world could only hope he's in his twilight years...
