Concept: 'Street' Jackson is a masked graffiti artist and parkour hero whose paint disrupts enemies, machines and expectations. He protects his neighbourhood with colour, nerve and a talent for getting out of reach.
Origin: His strange affinity for paint turns ordinary-looking spray cans into a compact arsenal of reactive mixtures.

Backstory
Street Jackson learned his routes over rooftops and his voice on the walls below them. He treats graffiti as a promise that his neighbourhood will not be ignored. Counterforce gave him a larger canvas, but never taught him to stop talking back. In a fight he blinds or disables a cluster, then uses his mobility to keep civilians out of the crossfire.
Appearance
A young adult Black man in a charcoal hooded top, a black lower-face mask, a bold white painted chest mark, loose trousers and trainers. Spray cans hang from his belt or backpack.
