Crucible:Answer

Real Name: Casey Loomis

Background: Casey Loomis was the most brilliant science student at Nathaniel Nova High School in Pacific City . But Casey, who was picked on mercilessly, fostered a desire for revenge. Styling himself a supervillain like Michael Sargon, he assumed the identity of Computron and gathered a group of teenage villains under the name Rock n' Roll. They battled the local heroes, called Supernova Squadron, but Computron and Rock n' Roll were eventually captured and sent to prison.

After his sentence, Loomis decided to use his criminal connections and pursue a career as a mercenary technologist, selling his skills and inventions to the highest bidder. He took the name The Answer, claiming to have a solution for any of his clients' problems.

The Answer has nursed a crush on Scarlet since high school, and deduced her secret identity some time ago.

Group Affiliation: Former leader of Rock n' Roll; now freelance operative.
