Simon can read through the memories of others at an incredible speed through physical contact. The longer the contact the deeper he can probe and the more repressed memories he can uncover. This power manifested at a young age when he began to see other's very recent memories, but through the superhero training he went through he has learned to hone the skill. Now with even a second of contact Simon can typically find what he's looking for in someone's memories if it is specific and isn't well guarded.

Simon also trained in many physical skills when he became a registered superhero. He's at peak athleticism for an adult normal human male with years of weapons training and specifically hand to hand combat training. His time as a superhero saw him in more black ops scenarios in which he infiltrated enemy strongholds. His ability to look through memories can give him passcodes, building schematics, and security details if he touches the right person.

Simon has always been a smart kid when it came to the books or the schoolyard. He made high marks in the academy and impressed the panel upon his graduation. His creative thinking and quick wit has kept him alive and able to keep up with some of the big leagues for years. His powers might not be as strong or as useful as a lot of the other heroes, but his ability to utilize his skills in dynamic situations has always set him apart.

Simon's confidence comes from his constant success as a student in the academy and his continued recognition among the other heroes. He does understand the weight he carries. His confidence is not a reckless one; rather he just understands where he's at and usually that's above others. The major boon of his confidence is that it allows him to have the courage to step forward when needed and to lead quickly and clearly when things get hairy.

Simon is very meticulous with his ideas and plans; he leaves nothing to chance. This thoroughness has earned him a reputation among the other heroes as a very detailed mission planner. No mission Simon has planned and gone on himself has failed or hit a major snag he couldn't clean up on the way out. When he plans he expects everyone to play their role. Typically when things do go wrong, it's because someone else wasn't sticking to the plan.

Take the previous three traits and roll them up into one and you get a very harsh Simon. He's not afraid to speak his mind and doesn't care much for the feelings of others when much more may be at stake. He doesn't do this to be an asshole. Instead, he hopes that his callous nature gets across his points clearly and it shows others that he isn't messing around. This angry character trait only truly comes out when Simon is upset at or disappointed in someone.

The bottom layer to Simon's character is his deepest and most repressed. He is worried sick and extremely nervous about everything, and that is why he sweats the details. He is extremely concerned that any mishaps will be the end of the world. This is the responsibility he shoulders. He has never talked to anyone about his anxiety and doesn't plan on it. Simon makes detailed plans and builds a structure to hide his apprehensions from everyone else.

Simon has a stereotypical sob story as he grew up: His father left the picture to leave him with an addicted and negligent mother. Fortunately for Simon he didn't have to suffer living in the trailer park with addicts all around him in his teenage years. His powers were discovered at an early age when his mother suspected him of stealing from her. Simon would hug is mom like all little kids do, but in the process search through her memory to find the number to the safe in the trailer; his mom kept any cash she had in that safe. This was all done at the age of 9. Once his mother suspected Simon of being gifted he confessed to her that he could see through all of her memories, and other people's too. She did not want to raise Simon any longer and saw this a perfect opportunity to lose the nuisance in her life. Before Simon knew it he was being taken away and his days at the academy started.

Being deprived so long of proper education the chance to show himself off Simon worked his ass off in the superhero academy. He earned high marks in academics, and showed true potential and skill in combat. He never let his powers put him at a disadvantage if his opponents were physically stronger or more destructive than he was. Usually he would simply outmaneuver them in hand to hand combat, or make long enough physical contact with them to read for specific memories of weaknesses to exploit. After Simon's time at the academy he moved up into becoming an actual Superhero.

Simon was immediately put to good use by the Superhero Collaborative first off as an inquisitor in interrogations. His memory reading ability alone was enough to break many villain plots before they were able to unfold, and after just a few years of experience Simon was leading teams out on the field. Simon followed orders from his higher ups and conducted coordinated strike teams of superheroes on black ops missions for intel gathering and sabotage. Over the years Simon has lost a few people out in the field and while on the outside he's desensitized himself to it he still shoulders all of the responsibility. He hides these feelings of remorse by stating that it was just the nature of the mission and that the superhero was simply playing out their intended role.

When the time vortex event happened Simon was out on a solo intel gathering assignment. He never completed the operation and was extracted to handle the problems back home in New York. Shortly after the chaos that ensued following the disappearance of the Superhero Headquarters Simon finds himself being put in charge of the reserve superheroes along with a few actual superheroes that managed to survive the time vortex.
