Phaeton - Hero in Training

This is a character I created for a comic in the Golden and SIlver Age Western Comic tradition, and am using in Roll Play in a Comic Hero related MU*. 

Phaeton, the son of Helios and Hestia, is a young classical hero in training when he goes to earth to see what mortals do and to find a friend, when he comes across a dead young man named Adam Bach. The sad street urchin was hobbled by a withered leg, and had been murdered over his shoes. Phaeton is distressed, and calls out for his friend and mentor, Apollo. The God appears and explains what this means. But Phaeton is determined to bring the perpetrator to justice. Apollo is proud of his young friend, and offers that Phaeton take the identity of Adam to find the murderer. And so Phaeton comes to Earth to live among Mortals to fight for justice.
