Randy O’Brien, nicknamed Antibody, is a medical resident who can project from his body a dark figure of himself (also called an “antibody”, a wordplay on the medical term) that flies, can become intangible, and transfer its memories to another person by physical contact. At the beginning of the series, O’Brien can only project and within limits control one of these entities. Later he proves able to manifest multiple antibodies. They all looked exactly the same to anyone else, but he could tell them apart and gave each individual names. His first few were named after the Marx Brothers. He later developed the ability to “wear” an antibody like a bodysuit, and at one time four of them joined together around him to create a more powerful antibody suit for him. Shortly before the series ended, O’Brien becomes trapped inside an antibody when he is hit by Pitt-Juice. The antibodies he subsequently creates are only a few inches tall and he gave these names like “Tink” and “Jiminy”. O’Brien has a romantic attraction to Charly Beck, but Randy’s upbringing instilled a sort of aversive racism in him that left him uncomfortable with the idea of a relationship with a black woman. Later he got over these feelings and wanted to attempt a relationship with Charly, but she has begun shunning him because of his new appearance. He is drafted into the Army’s Paranormal Platoon, but goes AWOL, then moves to New York. (Wikipedia)
