This is an original character from the core cast of the comic I and my wife are developing - 'The Uniques.'

Scout is easily one of my favorite characters of our team, and in part that’s because he’s an amalgam of a lot of my other favorite characters - Robin, Spider-Man, Kyle Rayner, and others. He isn’t a direct correlation to them, and is quite different from any of them, but there are things we’re doing with Scout that come from me brainstorming what I wish I could have done with somebody like Robin, but won’t ever have the ability to.

So he’s kind of our token ‘Sidekick’ character - and is really the only one on the team. To that end, his story will take him through the rigors of having to maintain two allegiances: one to the team and his only real friends, and the other to his mentor Ghost, who took him in, trained him, and with whom his relationship is growing strained as he grows older and begins questioning his path.
