Rourke is neurospicy and has faced daily adversity. Yet, after severe bullying, his passion is making people feel loved, seen, and welcomed.

Rourke’s favorite superhero is Homelander. He is fascinated by Homelander’s commanding presence, incredible strength, and uncompromising way of dealing out justice. To Rourke, there’s something captivating about a character who takes control, faces threats head-on, and operates by his own idea of what justice should look like.
Rourke was first introduced to the exciting world of superheroes by his older sister, Mataya. She shared her love of heroic stories with him, introducing him to characters with incredible powers, courage, and a desire to help others. What started as something Mataya shared with her little brother quickly became something Rourke loved all his own.
Rourke would choose telekinetic powers, giving him the ability to move, control, and manipulate objects with his mind. He would use his incredible power to confront danger, protect the people he cares about, and destroy evil wherever he finds it.
