Blue Lantern (Thomas Laine)

Bio - Thomas had a rough childhood with abusive addict parents but he somehow was able to stay hopeful through it all that eventually things would get better. He was extremely bright as well turning out to be a genius at science and at the age of only 13 he was on track to graduate and go to college where he planned to become a doctor. Then the night of his graduation his father turned especially violent and Thomas was forced to flee into the woods, while he was out there lost he noticed a blue star fall fromt he sky and crash not far from him. He went to investigate and found an odd alien at the crash site, he was forced to succeed the alien as a new Blue Lantern. Hal Jordon arrived not long after to find the boy and took him under his wing. He became the sidekick to the Green Lantern and at the age of 15 he joined the Young Justice team. He tries to balance fighting crime with college work but having some trouble with the latter.

Powers - Flight, energy constructs, force fields, ect, all the same powers as a Green Lantern though not as powerful. He also has the powers of healing and precognition (though he has no control over these visions). Weaknesses - Loses most of his powers if all Green Lanterns are off world, his ring is powered by hope so if he ever loses hope his ring will fail to work. Has no real hand-to-hand combat training so he relys heavily on his powers.

Abilities - Genius level IQ, extensive medical and chemical knowledge, expert strategist, terrific cook.
