Blink

Death becomes him
Just your average paranormal investigator, until one day the government subjected him to a series of tests and experiments, determined to discover the human spirit and rip it out of his body. Instead, during a power failure during a particular experiment, it basically pushed his body outside of normal existence, condemning him to be but a phantom in any existence. With this came psionic powers, invisibility and even flight. His body is even outside of time, so he does not even age, and potentially could learn ever more abilities, pushing his out of sync body to it's limits. He looks faded out, and you can easily see through him. He now just looks for ways, even accepting help from the U.S. Army in exchange for being part of their recon operations, though he helps the common man out too, hoping to show the world that he is not a scary person. He is not threatening. He is The Phantom.
