The Assistant

The mysterious man known only as The Assistant, and later The Informant, is a fictional character in the Graffiti series, created by David Ragin.

A quiet and self-retained man, The Assistant was Lucius Foxworth's personal assistant at Foxworth Enterprises. He was one of Foxworth's most trusted employees, and usually worked in assignment dispatch and as a reliable solider in emergencies. However, when Foxworth Enterprises fell, he, along with co-worker Gerald Myers, joined Melrose Hawthorne's newly established Superhuman Community.

In film, The Assistant is portrayed by Key Jones, and has appeared in Graffiti: Welcome to Foxworth Enterprises (2015) and Graffiti: Heroes and Villains (2017).

Current Powers and Abilities

 * Concussion Beams: The Assistant can release concentrated beams and blasts of pure solidified energy that causes concussive damage, with effects ranging from a slight push, a hard hit, a knock-out, paralysis, discomfort, minor to major damage, shattering, explosions and up to total annihilation of the target. While he cannot alter the direction of his blasts once he emits them, he is shown to have sniper-level accuracy and focus when using his ability. He can also increase and decrease the beam intensity at will. Following the use of his powers, his eyes will smoke for a few seconds.
 * Superhuman Durability: The Assistant's body has the natural ability to sustain numerous blows of external assault, though his inner body can take damage if struck hard enough.

Weaknesses

 * Single Direction Blast: He cannot alter the direction of his blasts once he emits them.
