Elias Powers - A Phd in badassery.

Elias was a former Hall Industries researcher & the creator of the Hero Rising video game. A programming genius, he designed the game to be unbeatable. He is shown to enjoy games, especially mind games.

Biography

His first apperance in the show, was in "Mind Games" he was building an atom disruptor for the Omega Defiance, and was captured by Aaron Stone.

It was revealed (by Elias himself) that he had an implant which made him unable to feel pain or emotions, as he told Aaron when he broke the forcefield during their 'interrogation'. Later in the episode, Elias challenged Aaron to a game of Hero Rising, which he lost, despite having created the game, and knowing the layout of the secret level he showed Aaron.

Ater that plan failed, he had somehow left the Omega Defiance a message in the secret level of Hero Rising, telling them where he was being held, and the time to break him out. Aaron found it out later in the episode, but had to let Elias escape because Jason was dangling off a bridge.

In the episode "My Stakeout With S.T.A.N" Elias was in a flashback, a few years prior to the show's pilot episode. He had designed Hero Rising, believing it to be ficticious like Hall had told him.

In the second part of the flashback, he had somehow learned the truth about the Omega Defiance. He fell out with Hall, stating he didn't like being lied to, and became an ally to the Omega Defiance. When he last saw Hall, Elias swore he would see him again.

In the season 1 finale, "Game on" Elias was hell-bent on destroying Aaron, and tracked him all the way to Chicago, where the two battled. Elias was shown to have extremely good fighting skills, although it was unconfirmed about how, where or who he learned them from. After being tricked by Aaron, he was re-captured, and taken to Hall's maximum security prison.

However, Elias broke out in the episode "Run Aaron, Run" and tried to get revenge on Aaron in the same episode by targeting him with lasers. making him run around town, and he had to try and stop a virus he was going to unleash, which turned out to be a computer device which hijacked S.T.A.N and let Elias steal Hall's intel. He was once again stopped by Aaron, although he managed to salvage a file which had some intel on Damaged.

He then made an alliance with him in "Mutant Rain (Part 1)", the series finale, in which he trained a young man name "Grudge" to help him with his plan.

In "Mutant Rain (Part 2)" it was revealed Elias had formed a secret alliance with U. He'd tricked Damaged, and went after the "Uriah Chamber's" access codes instead. Unknown to everyone else, U shapeshifted into Elias, and the real Elias slipped off while U was captured instead.

Elias was last seen going to the "Uriah Chamber". It was mysterious chamber under the White House that was said to hold a great and terrible power. Elias was the longest running antagonist of Aaron Stone, having appeared in six episodes.

Elias Powers was portrayed by actor Malcom Travis.

Relationships

T. Abner Hall - In the flashbacks of them both in "My Stakeout With S.T.A.N" Elias seemed to be friendly, but turned hostile when he learned Hall had lied to him. Elias had been hostile in every episode where he had mentioned him.

Aaron Stone - Elias seemed to hate Aaron, but at the same time enjoy playing (games) with him. In "Mind Games" their conversation seemed civil, until Elias learned Aaron had a brother.
