Base of Operations: Albuquerque, NM
Background/History:
Dexter Lumpkin had two heroes Shaw Sparks, the father of Emerald Centurion, and
his best friend, Trent Cannon. Trent protected him from bullies and gave him
pointers on how to talk to girls. Trent was the golden boy, good at sports and
anything he did. Trent got a football scholarship to the same school as Dexter.
As he grew older, things got tougher, but he would just try harder. He was no
longer the star that he was in high school. He was just one of the guys. Dexter
became quite the computer whiz and Trent was desperate for an edge. Steroids and
such were too easily detected, so he begged Dexter to find something to help
him. Dexter came up with a nanotechnological serum that boosted Trent’s
physical prowess. Literally overnight, Trent became the big man on campus and
took the starting position on the team. Unfortunately for Trent, he had to be
tested before the draft and the nanotech anomalies caused him to be disqualified
from the pros. Unable to compete in atheletics, he became a movie stuntman. With
his enhanced abilities, he was like a living, breathing special effect. When a
big star decided to do his own stunt and it went awry, Trent ended up saving
him. Dexter was starting his own company and read about his old friend’s
heroics. He had the idea of making Trent a hero and spokesman for his company.
Devising the uniform which gave Trent defenses and speed powers, Dexter made the
offer and Trent accepted. Trent fit nicely into the role because he really was
the heroic type exactly as Dexter had always seen him. To this day, Turbo acts
as a superhero and the company spokesman.
Personality/Motivations:
Trent does not try to be heroic, he just is. It comes naturally and it’s no
big deal to him.
