Tired of having to rely on Earth’s heroes, especially The Atom Family, the Farside Council instituted Project Hero to find the best candidate to train at the Claremont Academy and become Farside’s first homegrown superhero.
Competition was fierce; the initial acceptance rate for Project Hero was 1.2% and things only got tougher from there; evaluations were constant and results public; many students simply cracked under the intense pressure and left. Finally, after four years, there was only one student left: Samot.
Samot is the best Farside has to offer; he’s expected to pave the way for an entire generation of Farside superheroes and the eyes of the entire city are on him. That’s some pressure. Fortunately the atmosphere at Claremont is somewhat more relaxed and, thanks to Leeroy Hawke, the young Farsider is remembering there is more to life than training; he’s begun to participate in school activities beyond training to establish a healthier balance between work and play.
Coming through the Project Hero pressure cooker means Samot is completely unfazed by the social jockeying at school; he doesn’t have to prove himself to anyone and his obvious confidence and maturity make him a natural leader.

Special abilities
Samot is a member of the first generation of Farsiders to manifest a greater proportion of psionic abilities than their forebears, a hopeful sign of recovery from the tyranny of Lady Lunar, and although his powers are relatively weak and thus relegated to ace-in-the hole status, unlike his kinetisuit they are at least always with him.

The kinetisuit, depending on your point of view, either has too many features or too few power systems (the result of Farsider scientists needing to relearn a number of things banned during Lady Lunar's reign and being a design by committee it requires planning and quick thinking to maximize its functionality, something Samot spends a good deal of time working on.
