Appearance and Personality

Romeo is a young man with black hair and green eyes. In life, he appeared dressed in a sheriff deputy's uniform. As "Dead Man", Romeo wears white combat gear marked with the FBI logo. Over that he wears a yellow leather bomber jacket, with his grandfather's image emblazoned on the back, which he can use to communicate with him. Romeo also has a robotic arm, replacing the one he lost before his transformation. Dead Man's most notable feature is his mask, which is part of the Dead Gear Life Support System that saved him from death. The mask covers his entire face, and surrounds it with halo-like rings. The mask leaves one eye exposed, which appears to be fleshy and strained, although in other appearances his eye seems normal. Dead Man also has a powered up form, where his entire body appears to be robotic, and the rings around his head are made of pure green energy.

Biography

Background

Seconds before death, he is saved by having the Dead Gear Life Support System inserted into his eye, a device created by his scientist grandfather Benjamin Stargazer. This keeps Romeo on the edge of life and death by causing a time paradox, shattering the space-time continuum. Romeo becomes an FBI Space-Time special agent by the name of "Dead Man", and begins hunting space-time's most wanted fugitives. His quest intertwines with the mysterious disappearance of his girlfriend Juliet Dendrobium.
