Wild Card is one of the main characters in We Can Be Heroes.
Appearance[]
Wild Card is a young teenager around thirteen, with thick brown hair, brown eyes, and a mischievous smile. He wears dark clothing and a military dog tag.
Personality[]
Wild Card is introduced as the young Heroics fearless leader, with a jaded edge that makes him appear unfriendly. He isn't shy about voicing his opinion on Missy or her leadership skills, though he comes to respect her. He is witty and sarcastic, often calling others out on their behavior. His inability to control his powers served as an insecurity as he desperately tries to prove everyone wrong about him being unable to help. Wild Card can be incredibly focused when he chooses to be, and just needs a little boost to discover his full potential.

Powers and Abilities[]
Wild Card has the unique superhuman ability to generate any type of power in the known world. He can grant himself any power he wishes by using a verbal command. He initially struggled to control his powers and would manifest something completely different than what he was commanding, such as causing his textbook to light on fire instead of teleportation. He later mastered them by believing in himself. He can make himself teleport, shape shift, fly, generate electricity through his fingers, and freeze things by pointing his finger.
Relationships[]
Missy Moreno[]
Wild Card initially teased Missy for not having any powers, reminding her and the team of this when he could. She had very little patience for his sarcastic remarks and teasing. She could be condescending towards him. He didn't like that she exhibited strong leadership qualities and had ideas that conflicted with his. It wasn't until she told him that Ojo was an alien that he accepted her as the leader, finally having seen that she is, in fact, capable of leading the team. They kept up the charade of arguing for the sake of their grander plan. She sympathizes with him feeling as though he has to prove himself to everyone who looks up to him. In many ways, his inability to control his powers and her lack of powers, allowed them to reach an understanding. It is through Missy believing in him, that Wild Card believes in himself and controls his powers.
