And most of them I'm going to ignore! But here's some I felt like sharing anyway--so enjoy the exercise in Selective Continuity.

Real Name: Johnathon "Johnny" Gallo ((... right. I'm still going with "Jonathan."))
Aliases: "Rico" ((Damn straight it is.))
Identity: Secret
Occupation: Adventurer; former stuntman
Citizenship: USA
Place of Birth: Brooklyn, New York
Known Relatives: Unidentified father, unidentified mother (deceased)
Group Affiliation: Loners; formerly Excelsior, the "Slingers"
Education: College dropout ((That's my boy!))
First Appearance: Slingers #0 (1998)

Abilities/Accessories: Ricochet has superhuman speed and agility, as well as a "sixth sense" that warns him of danger. His legs are superhumanly strong, allowing him to leap great distances. He carries several throwing disks, which he can throw with great accuracy; most are solid, but he also carries some specialized disks, including explosive disks, electromagnetic pulse-emitting disks, and blackout disks. He briefly drove the Ricochet Mobile, a dune buggy armed with disk launchers. ((WE DO NOT TALK ABOUT THE RICOCHET MOBILE. Except to note it was actually a go-kart.))

Power Grid Stats (out of a possible 7):
Intelligence: 2/7
Strength: 3/7
Speed: 3/7
Durability: 2/7
Energy Projection: 4/7 ((I'm assuming they mean by virtue of his specialized discs.))
Fighting Skills: 3/7

((Technically, 2 is considered within the normal human range, as opposed to somebody with powers or what have you. So really, Rico's "only" as dumb and fragile as a regular person compared to Tony Stark for the one and Thor for the other.))
