Powers/Abilities: Hector Morales had no superhuman powers, but was semi-skilled at using a handgun as well as bribing. He had connections to others in his gang, which helped him sneak a gun onto school premises.
History: (NYX#1) - During a
typical day at school, Hector Morales picked on a boy named Gordo by hitting
him in the head with a ball as Kiden Nixon and her friend, Kara, watched
on. To get a reaction, Hector threw the ball and hit Kiden, who made a joke
on Hector's behalf. The two shared harsh words until Hector angrily smacked
Kiden across the face. In retaliation, Kiden jumped at Hector and ripped
one of his earrings out just as their teacher, Ms. Palmer, broke up the fight.
As Ms. Palmer escorted Hector to the school nurse, Hector whispered to Kiden
that she was dead. After his visit to the hospital, Hector confronted Kiden
and Kara in the hallways, letting a girl named Tamisha and her friends rough
up Kara while he and his friends held Kiden back. Kiden yelled stop, causing
time around her to stop, freezing Hector and the others in place. When she
touched Hector's arm, time came speeding back into effect and the force generated
broke Hector's arm.
(NYX#2/NYX#4 (fb) - BTS) - The next day, Hector returned to school in cast, where he bribed the school police officer into letting him sneak a gun to school. He later confronted Kiden in the halls, where he pulled the gun on her and fired. Kiden yelled stop, freezing time again. While inside her "No Time" zone, Kiden touched Hector's gun, causing time to speed back into effect. The force generated caused Hector to misfire and hit Ms. Palmer, who was trying to reach Kiden.
(NYX#6 - BTS) - Following the shooting of Ms. Palmer, Hector was sent to a juvenile hall.
