Hero Datafile: Night Thrasher

Dwayne Taylor is the founder of the New Warriors, a brilliant strategist, martial artist, inventor, and wealthy young vigilante driven by the murder of his parents. Night Thrasher fights with powered armor, custom weapons, a tactical mind, and enough stubborn confidence to charge into battles most heroes would carefully avoid.

Night Thrasher appeared in Civil War: Young Avengers, but this version is representing him without any cybernetic resources, as a more inexperienced version of himself, particularly rocking his skateboard he was known for at the start.
