display

Dred generally wears casual wear, usually along the lines of khakis and dark t-shirts. He doesn't bother to conceal his identity with a colorful costume, finding them a bit ridiculous, and usually wears a bandana that obscures his nose and mouth when going into action as Molotov. As far as clothing goes, he wears military fatigues, and hides his dreads with a black skull cap woven from hemp.

personality

Dred is generally a pretty laid-back fellow. However, he possesses a deep inner rage that fuels him. This rage is due to a hatred for the injustices and hypocrisy in the world around him. A liberal and a fighter, Dred stands up for those who have nobody else to defend them.

In terms of his vigilante work, Dred used to adhere to a strict moral code. He holds to the belief that anyone who commits a horrifying crime does not deserve to live, whereas petty, desperate, or stupid criminals, such as muggers or thieves, should simply be taught a lesson. Dred has no qualms with fighting cops, but won't kill them. However, recently, after dealing with a terrorist organization and joining the X-Men, Dred has come to question his moral code. Due to this, he has begun to move towards more traditional heroism.

extraordinary

• Rage State - When incredibly angry, Dred enters a "rage state," where his strength is enhanced, his pyrokinesis grows stronger, and he is capable of generating long claws of bone from his knuckles that can tear through steel.
  
• Pyrokinesis - Dred is an incredibly advanced pyrokinetic, capable of exciting the atoms in the air so that objects can ignite or melt, creating fire from thin air, manipulating already existing flames, and creating constructs out of flames.

backstory

Named after Dred Scott, the slave who was denied his freedom by the United States Supreme Court, Dred's dream for most of his life was to help change the world in some way - or, at the very least, help people out, or change the way people viewed the world. While in high school, during his senior year, he was presented with his first opportunity to save a life. A deranged and armed student took several students hostage; Dred talked him down and stole his weapon, risking his own life. He then beat the lunatic into unconsciousness.

Now hounded by the press, Dred made several attempts to get out of the spotlight, eventually leaving his hometown and setting out on his bike, on a soul-searching cross country trip. It was around this time that he discovered his mutant abilities of pyrokinesis and his rage state. Dred then made a life-changing decision: he would become a vigilante, one who fought against both corruption in government and evil in the streets. He then brought down several crime rings, before heading to New York City. As soon as the Superhuman Registration Act came into play, Dred was on the front lines fighting against it, making money through a small diner, all the while keeping his two identities separate.

Dred is currently still in New York City, occasionally venturing to other cities, searching for injustices to fight. He has had encounters with a group of disturbed terrorists, a deadly scientist, and the attempted formation of his own vigilante team. He has recently joined the well-known mutant team, the X-Men.

Could I get one more paragraphs of personality and one or two more weaknesses? :D

IT IS DONE

Reformatted and updated with the Red Lantern Ring. I'm unsure at the moment if I'll be keeping it, though, and I'm probably going to be altering his personality quite a bit in the future.
