Profile

Daniel Hastings aka Journey is a SHIELD scientist who was an unfortunate assistant to Tony Stark Sr. Blasted into nothing and added to the honored wall of deceased agents, his mutant gene was quickly mapped to the energies of the Tessaract and he found himself in another galaxy upon a Kree world. Survival became his first goal. His second, return home. Now he has and has taken up the hero mantle using his ability to fold space to great effect. His only real problem now is.. how to convince people he's.. him. One day at a time.

Timeline:
1920 - Born in Ontario, Canada
1936 - Early admittance to Oxford
1942 - Earns PhD in Theoretical Physics/Astrophysics
1943 - Recruited into Royal Air Force research division.
1945 - Recruited into SHIELD.
1947 - Lost, presumed dead, in classified accident. This accident involved attempts to understand the Tessaract. He accidentally touches it which activates his latent X-gene. Instead of death, he's transported to another galaxy.
1948 - Appears on the Kree world of Kirit and blends in with the 'white' Kree race he finds there. Generally survives by manual labor and pretending to be mute.
1950 - Finally learns enough Kree to decipher star charts and discovers the location of Earth. Steals a small shuttle but its warp drive is damaged by Kree military in the escape. The combination of his powers and the damaged drive react poorly with relativistic space and he ends up arriving..
2020 - In 2020. Crashing on the moon, he flies the remaining distance to Earth and arrives in New York City to a world he barely knows.

Personality

Click to expand.

Empathy:
Daniel's seen a LOT of war. A LOT of suffering. Heck, he's lived homeless on a strange world for years. He doesn't like the idea of causing pain and tries to consider the consequence of his actions more than some true theoreticians. He doesn't believe in incredible wealth, racism, bigostry, homophobia, etc. For him, live and let live is the best policy. After all, you never know when you might be the one needing a hand up.

Inquisitive:
Much like cat that was killed by curiosity, this is what got Daniel into this mess. He has a brilliant mind but one that pushes at boundaries and sometimes those boundaries are in place for a reason. Still, man wouldn't fly if it weren't for blokes like him and they surely wouldn't have split the atom. So he presses on.

Service:
Going hand in hand with his empathy is a sense of duty. To his fellow man. To his country. To oppose evil. It's what any decent person ought to do. If he isn't working in service of a goal, then he'll feel fairly listless or self serving and that's not what he's about. After all, he was.. IS.. an officer in Her Majesty's Royal Army. Not that he can fly.. but its the principle of the thing.

Tenacious:
Daniel generally has a never say die mentality. It came from fighting a war against an implacable foe that was inevitably defeated and later surviving being lost on an alien world. Even when beaten and broken, he gives the stiff upper lip of the Brit.

Powers

Click to expand.

Clairvoyant:
Sort of. Daniel can fold space but not go anywhere. He uses this mostly to look before he leaps but he can also just use it to see what's on the other side of the proverbial hill. Technically, there's no limit to how far he can look.. just time. Unlike magical scrying that takes you right to what you're looking for, he's just using his normal human eyes to pan and scan. Right now, it's also limited to direct lines from where he's standing since he hasn't figured out how to 'bounce' his sight to get a bird's eye view.

Folded Space:
All of Daniel's powers come back to one thing. The ability to fold space. Primarily, this is exhibited as a form of transport. Presently, he can effectively teleport to any location within line of sight and 'hover' in the air as though standing on solid ground. When in 'open space', he can ride the proverbial wave to relativistic speeds to travel interstellar distances quickly. If he takes time to use his clairvoyant ability, he can even teleport to locations he can't 'see' but this isn't something doable with a quickness and is practically limited to the planet earth with his current level of prowess. Violating laws of physics to occupy the space of another object tends to be fatal.

Man In the Bubble:
When Daniel is in combat or otherwise a high stress situation, his body naturally folds space about itself to form a coccoon of warped reality. This generally means that he can keep a pocket of functional atmosphere about himself and deflect most incoming attacks. The former is tried and true and he can fly through a vacuum easily enough. The latter.. he's not exactly had the opportunity to test though he has deflected bullets before and only taken grazing hits from Kree blasters so there's hope he can get better at this. Could he deflect a punch from Superman? Doubtful.. and he really doesn't want to try since failure would be fatal. Baby steps here.

Warp Blasts:
Just as the Red Skull channeled the Tessaract's energies into a pulsewave that blasted foes from existence, so too can Daniel 'fire' focused ripples in spacetime. His aren't nearly so powerful. As an ability still in practice, he's been able to blast open steel doors but that's about the extent of it. Not that that isn't fatal to normal people but he's almost scared to use this ability since he was almost a victim of a rather permanent disintegration himself. One of the reasons this blast isn't as powerful as it could be is that he is subconsciously preventing the beam from disintegrating the thing he is targetting. If he figures this out, he may one day learn how to emit lethal and non lethal blasts both in greater power but he's not a murderer and he knows what the Red Skull's weapons can do. Truth be told, he's a little afraid of this power.

Skills

Click to expand.

Astronomer:
His knowledge of the Terran stellar cartography is pretty good. The difference is that he's also studied Kree star charts so he has a more general knowledge of other galaxies and civilizations. He could plot a course to most any star from Earth and get you back to Earth. Getting you from destination star to some other star? That would be much harder without having maps on hand. Sadly, his ship is a wreck on the moon.

Engineering:
One of the side skills developed by way of being a theoretical physicist is you have to design the things to test your theories. He's no Tony Stark but he's certainly a tech head with a head start thanks to his time among the Kree.

Genius!:
So he's not Reed Richards super genius but he did recieve an invitation to MENSA. It means he tends to think ahead of most people and use his brain to solve problems.

Languages:
As a Canadian, he speaks fluent French and English. He speaks a fair amount of German thanks to the war. He also speaks Kree for all the good it does him.

Piano:
In his day and age, learning an instrument was part and parcel of life. He's no Gershwin but he can play it well enough. Read music. Improv a little. Mostly, he does it to think.

Science!:
First, Daniel has a PhD in Theoretical Physics and Astrophysics from Oxford. This means he has a solid foundation in the physical sciences of chemistry and physics as well as higher mathematics and theories behind natural forces both grand and minute. Second, he's been exposed to Kree technologies far more advanced than those found on Earth and while it will take him some time to attempt to reverse engineer them.. having a basic principle of a thing makes it's genesis that much easier.

Soldier:
Basic training is a thing even if you're a scientist. He can point a gun and shoot it, clean and maintain it. Knows basic hand to hand and first aid. Passed basic flight school. It means he can be fairly accurate with his warped space attacks and has a better than average reaction time to attacks. Is he a seasoned soldier? Not so much. He did learn how to duck a lot while slumming on Kree, though.

Resources

Kree Ship:
It's a wreck on the far side of the moon but if he ever got himself a lab he could bring it back piece by piece and start doing something with the advanced technologies in it. It's a goal.

Retirement:
So officially, he can draw a small pension from his time as a Royal Air Force Lieutenant. Assuming he can get himself off of the deceased roster.

Shield:
So technically he's still a member. Assuming they can be convinced he's not a spy since they're pretty well convinced he's particulate atoms as a victim of the Tessaract.

Weaknesses

Click to expand.

Mostly Dead:
Bureaucracy moves slowly but thankfully SHIELD has some influence in the world among its ally nations. Daniel's legal status, Canadian citizenship and passport have been restored. This doesn't solve his social problems, of course. His relations that knew him are all dead and approaching them is going to be incredibly awkward for sure. He has no work history to speak of and its going to be assumed that his working knowledge of science is eighty years old despite the fact that it's actually about a hundred years ahead of its time thanks to his time among the Kree. There will be wariness in hiring anybody that says he just returned after a 'scientific accident' shunted him through time. Honestly, who believes that sort of thing.. nevermind that it happens daily in the world of superheroes.

Kree:
While the Kree are on a far away planet, you don't get on their radar and not have bad days. Sure, he's a hero on a world full of heros and a Captain Marvel but he's still on their wanted list now. He watches his back.

Mutant:
Despite his quasi origins as a scientific malfunction, the truth of the matter is that he's a mutant. It was his mutant gene that absorbed the wave form of the Tessaract and let him survive to channel its energies. This means he'll register on detectors and have all of the associated complications.

Visions:
One of the problems with your powers trying to mirror an Infinity Stone is that you have an unconscious link to a power far greater than yourself. It also means that he occasionally gets flashes of places all over the galaxy. Sometimes they seem immediately recognizable and meaningful (if say it was Earth). Other times, he gets flashes of some strange world somewhere in the multiverse. Sometimes they happen as dreams. Other times, he's walking down the street and finds himself.. somewhere else.. even if he isn't. Thankfully, these visions are usually fleeting insights into some grand design rather than protracted scenes. Usually.
