‘PORTER

NAME: Namor Christianson.
OCCUPATION: Student.
STATUS: US citizen, no criminal record.
EDUCATION: 11th-grader, Collegium Caine.
MAIN POWERS: Psychokinetic temporal displacement.

Namor Christianson is the son of Torchia Family associate Bud Christianson, who is serving his sixth year of a 7-to-20-year sentence for vehicular manslaughter, and Ana-Maria Castigliane. Bud worked the Fisherman's Corner docks as a bodyguard, "collections agent" and organizer for one of Torchia's crews in the Meatpackers And Fishpackers International Association. Robert "Bobby Sack" Saccone was Bud's immediate supervisor (read: captain of the crew), and Bud was "on the job" when he "accidentally" ran over a man who owed Mr. Torchia a lot of money.

["Bobby Sack" was killed in the Rust City Massacre and was replaced by "Joey Pants" Panicello. Since Bud is only half-Italian, he is not a full-fledged, upwardly-mobile soldier.]

Bud was one of several of the Saccone crew who scored big in the Emerald Princess cruise ship burglary. On the advice of his attorney, a Spanno Family member from Hoboken, NJ, he placed the money in trust for his only son. Namor will be eligible to assume control of it around the time the statute of limitations runs out.

Namor exhibited a talent for teleportation, and his mother, who disapproves of her husband's career, enrolled him in the "special needs" program at Collegium Caine in hopes he'll find a better life. He previously attended military schools along with other children of Torchia and Spanno Family associates. And with Jason Garsea, aka Energon.

'Porter

Nevermore's Evaluation: Two of my most powerful students are my youngest and most undisciplined. 'Porter has yet to realize the sheer power involved in subconscious manipulation of the Unified Field, which is the only way I can explain teleportation. After he proved himself in the Briefing Room Incident [see Issue #13, ". . . And It Is Us"], I have decided to promote him from the Second Cadre to The Foundry. My reservation regarding this promotion is that he was involved in the Briefing Room Incident solely by accident--attempting to sneak his friend Energon back into the building after curfew.

I would take the ethical high ground here, except I remember what Team Hyperion was like in its early days 34 years ago. We were young, party-going teenagers and college students [I myself was the oldest at 18] who realized the stakes involved only after several hair-raising adventures. Experience is the best teacher, and experience often seeks one out rather than the other way around. Experience, and a family like The Foundry, may save him from his father's fate.
