Neutralize (born Pendrake Oswin Jameson) is an American intermediate unregistered hero, minor technophile, and martial artist. Being born of tremendous privilege, he was the child of owners of a corporation that ended up in his hands due to a freak accident. After being emancipated, he later liquidated and sold the corporation for approximately 1.5 billion USD.

After leaving his hometown, he traveled approximately 400 miles east into Paragon City to go into hiding. However, despite being in a city full of superpowered people, he wouldn't find that it was very easy to hide.

Early Life and Education

Childhood

Neutralize was born as Pendrake "Drake" Oswin Jameson on 21 March 1993 in Irondequoit, New York. He is the only child of mother Alyssa Penelope Jameson (née West) and father Cameron Joel Jameson. Both were scientists and computer engineers and founded the start-up, StellarTech™, in 1995 when he was only two years old. Drake would grow up to be a promising individual, showing the same aptitude in sciences and engineering. Being pronounced a genius by his own parents, Drake was frequently in Rochester, attending the best schools in his early years and into his pre-teens.

However, he would become a victim to bullying. His mother realized that Drake was not gaining the social skills needed so he could get along with his peers. Due to this, his father enrolled him in martial arts at the age of 11 and promised to send him to school closer to home to enroll him in a public school going forward. However, his mother insisted that Drake take some extracurricular classes relating to their field so that when he becomes older, he too could be a prominent figure within StellarTech.

Adolescence

To the surprise of his parents, Drake was also ridiculously adept at martial arts. So much so that Drake asked to be enrolled into another art. As long as he kept up with his school and extracurricular studies, they agreed. Having already trained in Tae Kwon Do, he found a private master that taught the art of bojutsu. Drake struggled with this in the beginning but became quite adept at it after nine months of training.

Despite all the aptitude towards technology and the sciences involved and even taking language classes in the process, it was beginning to become clear that Drake wanted to go on his own path. As he started high school, he became more rebellious towards his parents. Because of this, he did a lot of things that made their lives a living hell. From "borrowing" tech prototypes without clearance or permission to learning how to hack into systems with varying levels of encryption, and even moving funds seemingly invisibly from one account to another.

However, his life would change in an instant. In the summer of 2009 after Drake finished the sophomore year of high school, a major accident took place in the east building of the StellarTech HQ where the entire four-story building went up in flames after an explosion took place, which seemed to have been caused by electric short-circuiting. This took the lives of everyone in that building, including his own parents. After initial investigation, forensic experts concluded that an outside source created the short circuiting. This only reinforced his suspicions of his parents making enemies.

The first thing he did was apply to be emancipated. He did not want to enter the foster care system and with all the finances now at his control, it was easy for him to convince authorities that he is capable of taking care of himself. He was, of course, granted emancipation. Because the parents' inheritance stated Drake as the next of kin, he acquired the entirety of StellarTech. He shut down operations that were taking place in the east wing and provided the families of the employees who died that day a settlement payment to avoid being taken to court that amounted to three years of their pay per employee.

Being an Adult

As Drake began his adult life after graduating high school with high honors, he gradually laid off StellarTech employees after contracts had either ended or negotiated under undisclosed terms. Once all contracts had been completed, he took inventory of all his assets, saved any and all that he deemed were important and shouldn't fall into the wrong hands, and liquidated the corporation. After collecting life insurance due to the deaths of his parents and paying severance to StellarTech's board members due to the liquidation, he found himself with a net worth of approximately 1.75 billion USD.

He then came to the realization that because he went and sold off assets of the corporation, someone was going to be angry despite the money they had been given. Not to mention, he was sure that his parents made enemies of their competitors that they may even have gone as far as to orchestrate the explosion, and their deaths. Drake knew that with everything he has and how much money he is worth, he needed to run and hide. Or at the very least, make sure the target on his back isn't so obvious. After doing some research, he realized that the best place for him to go was Paragon City. In his mind, superpowered people of all types means that he'll have a buffer for whomever these people were, and perhaps give him a playground for "testing" some prototypes that he took for himself after liquidating StellarTech.

Paragon City

After doing some "hacking magic", Drake was able to open an account within the financial infrastructure of Paragon City, transfer all of his funds to it, and delete his name and his parents' names from their previous institution to leave no trace of the transaction to make sure he wouldn't be found. He'd privately hire engineers, scientists, and even some artisans to make use of the tech that his parents had built. With their help and with his experiences being a martial artist, he decided to give the hero gig a try. When he realized that he needed to be registered to do it, he needed to make sure that he didn't do anything too suspicious and to make sure he kept collateral damage to a minimum since he refused to be registered.

As a safety precaution, he created three identities of himself to make sure he was never found. This included drivers' licenses and U.S. passports. He may introduce himself to people as Robert "Robbie" Mercer, Benjamin "Benji" Thurston, or Cedric Riordan.

He secretly operates as a hero, perhaps even bordering on vigilantism, under the codename "Neutralize." When asked why he gave himself that codename, he'd say that it's what every hero does every day to stop the bad guys. They are neutralized. He normally works alone but is not opposed to working in small groups, though he'd try to watch everyone else like a hawk for any wrongdoing.

Tropes

Tropes are conventions and devices that are found in creative works. Instead of describing Drake further, the following are tropes that give better context to his personality, background, and his entire being as a whole.

Appearance

• Dumb Blonde - Inverted. While it can be barely classified that Drake has (very) dark blond hair, he is anything but a dumb blonde. He took many extra-curricular classes while in high school, trained in two different types of martial arts, and can actually put together simpler contraptions and machines.

• Sharp Dressed Man - They say that clothes make the man, and the clothes he wears, especially during fancy events, can be considered snazzy. Even in public, he wears neat button-up shirts despite them being short-sleeved.

• The Rich Have White Stuff - In the Jameson residence where Drake grew up, it was true that a lot of things they owned were white. Curtains, sheets, table cloths, cabinets, perhaps even their kitchen countertops were white granite.

• The Aesthetics of Technology - They say that if something looks more advanced, it *is* more advanced. And this is completely the case with Drake. Oftentimes when he is in Pocket D as "Robbie", he wears his glasses on him, which is actually an advanced. The glasses have a HUD where he can browse the internet, calculate approximate mass and weight of any one given object or living person, identify items, objects, and other things.
