"A tragic case. Jeffrey Mosser was just a few years old when his powers manifested themselves, turning his little body into a cloud of hydrogen gas. One can only imagine the sheer trauma he experienced, and that of the poor parents who witnessed such a fate befall their son. They would surely have believed he was dead -- spontaneously combusted, leaving only the gas behind -- except that Jeffrey was still able to scream.

The boy lived, but it was a bitter existence. He was sealed inside a bubble to prevent his gaseous body from dispersing. That's how he spent his childhood, shut off from all the pursuits and pleasures of youth.

Finally Aloysius Zeroth, a friend of the Mossers, was able to intervene. He completed work on a special suit which the boy would be able to control as though it were a genuine body. With this he was finally permitted to obtain some semblance of a normal existence. Furthermore, he was able to harness and develop the powers which had until then been only a curse. He learned to sculpt electromagnetic waves, shaping them into any form he wished.

He would have been a splendid candidate for the Phaeton Project.

But his lost childhood had left him resentful and rebellious, unwilling to buckle down and accept the authority of others. He fell in with a group of Emergent miscreants, and now wants to do nothing but enjoy himself in their company. A terrible waste, which I hope may one day be remedied -- when Maser, as he calls himself, gains a modicum of maturity."
