History: There is very little that’s been revealed about Aja, other than he had a difficult upbringing and that he too, along with Kaz and Grace, had been a run away. Aja, as a child, had been sold to the black market adoptions out of Punjab. He noted that Park Avenue Bluebloods couldn’t decide whether they wanted slaves or sons and daughters, and suffered an excessive amount of abuse at the hands of those who handled him, at a young age, which included, but not limited to, burning him with cigarette butts. The police had not done anything to break up the ring, until Donyell Taylor came along, in the guise of Night Thrasher (II) and broke up the ring and rescued and recruited Aja, who, much like Kaz and Grace, Aja also had a knack for understanding computers and technology, though he specialized in networking.

Height: 5’7?
Weight: 170 lbs.
Eyes: Brown
Hair: Brown

Powers: Aja has no powers that were revealed; but was recruited by Donyell Taylor because of her knowledge on technology and computer networks.

Real Name: Dwight Hubbard
Aliases: None
Identity: Known to Authorities
Occupation: Vigilante, Gang Member
Citizenship: American Citizen with a Criminal Record
Place of Birth: Manhattan, New York
Known Relatives: Chantal (Sister, Deceased)
Group Affiliation: Psionex, The Initiative: Maryland
First Appearance: New Warriors #4 (V1)
History: Dwight Hubbard, much like the name sake he would adopt with Genetech, was an impulsive person, often acting before thinking. As a gang banger, Dwight made a name for himself, before Genetech took him in and experimented on him, turning him into Impulse. As Impulse, he had enhanced strength, agility, endurance and super human speed. The armor he was equipped with also had blades that were tainted with a powerful toxin that could instantly paralyze and render people unconscious. Impulse was one of the original members of Psionex, and as such, had several encounters fighting the New Warriors.

When the New Warriors fought against Terrax, only Mathemanic and Impulse remained from Psionex to help the New Warriors. Mathemanic was put into a coma when Terrax shifted the earth and buried Mathemanic under stone. Terrax also, with a swift strike, snapped Impulse’s back. Mathemanic eventually awoke from his coma, but Impulse remained bound in the wheel chair.

Impulse’s luck would continue to go poorly, as a young boy found the mask of the original Asylum, who had led Psionex and took it to show his older sister, Dorrel. The woman, intended to keep it and wear it, showed it to her boyfriend, who happened to be an extremely violent gang banger, by the name of Joachim, who beat her and took it from her. While wearing the mask, Joachim could suddenly see ‘the darkness’ in people’s souls, and his violent behavior escalated as he and his gang members simply began gunning down innocent people. One of those innocent people was Chantal, Impulse’s younger sister. He had witnessed the whole thing.

Later at his home, Night Thrasher (I) and Rage approached him and offered to help him, but he declined, only to have the new Asylum, along with Pretty Persuasions, Coronary, and Mathemanic. Asylum offered to clean up the streets, and get rid of the very gang members that had taken the life of Impulse’s sister.

During this time, Psionex became street vigilantes, helping put an end to crime.

Psionex turned up again, during the Superhuman Registration Act as a part of the Maryland Initiative Team. Their current whereabouts since then remains unknown.
