Origin Story: Dr. Adrian Blackwood was a renowned astrophysicist and a colleague of Elena Martinez. His research focused on dark matter and the properties of darkness in space. During an experiment designed to harness the energy of a solar eclipse, a malfunction led to an explosion, imbuing him with strange powers over darkness and shadows.
Feeling betrayed by the scientific community for dismissing his accident as a failure and his subsequent ostracization, Adrian embraced his new identity as Dr. Eclipse. He saw in his powers the potential to reshape the world according to his vision. Driven by a desire for control and order, Dr. Eclipse views Solar Flare as a symbol of the chaos and unpredictability he seeks to eliminate. As Dr. Eclipse, he operates from the shadows, using his intellect and newfound abilities to advance his agenda while clashing with Solar Flare and her allies.
