Power and Abilities

After being hit by shrapnel of some of ASO,7 Bob/ Vector finds himself able to morph fully into a swarm of insects that carry a variety of diseases. (mainly smallpox, the bubonic plague, and leprosy) These diseases do not allow the victim to die; instead, they live on in constant pain, and when administered medicine, the victims' condition gets worse. Bob is able to send chunks of insects anywhere with will and see the eyes through every insects in his swarm. He also has the ability to sink into the dirt/ground with all of his bugs.

Appearances

 * Hero

Bob Markovic is first seen in Hero, where he and Simone, are at his house. They are drinking, when the government nukes the ASO that is set to land in New York City. They are sprayed with shrapnel from the meteorite, and bits of the building they are in. Bob's hand is described as 'hanging on by a few strings' and Simone drags him to the hospital. At the hospital, they are confronted by two people from ICE, and Simone resists, but they are taken to a show hall, where Bob wakes up. Bob argues with a guard but is escorted back to his seat. He is then ushered onto a bus, where Simone panics about being killed. It turns out she is right when they are brought off the bus for a "bathroom stop" and greeted by machine guns. Bob is almost dead when he morphs into his insect-like form. He runs away but is spotted by the military. He infects them with the disease. Bob tries to morph back, but cannot when he realizes that his body is dead from gunshot wounds he sustained earlier. Later, when Dekka Talent and Francis Specter visit Markovic's victims, they learn that his disease is a mix of smallpox, the bubonic plague, and leprosy. When the medicine is administered, it seems to make their condition worse.

The Rockborn Gang goes to battle Vector three times. The first battle was in Bob's residence and Simone was helping him. (I need YOU to finish this!)
