Powers
Sprite is a computer program versatile enough to be programmed for any and all situations (that's why they call him the pimp of the cybernation). Sprite is able to possess any robot or device with enough storage and control it completely. He is also just as happy in a mainframe though. For a short stint in "McDuffies Heroes" he was given a roughly humanoid robot to fight in.
Key Weakness
Due to his flexible nature, constant flip flopping, and the fact that at any given time multiple copies of him may exist, there is often confusion as to whether the REAL sprite is around or if it's a copy. Occasionally a copy is made poorly and a new entity will arise. The child-like "B.I.T.S" was made by such a copy and went on to join up with the child fighting group "Young Heroes"
Description and History of Sprite V1
During the heyday of the Cold War, two factions rose out of WW2 to become the world's most important player of politics. Of course these two powers were the US and Russia. This left many a country out of all the "good stuff". In the tiny state Tripoli, a man was growing bitter at the lack of attention. A professor at U-Tripoli, he had access to some of the world's most advanced computers. Using a makeshift neural connection the man (Bohevan Spritus), attempted to make a copy of his personality into a computer program. Unfortunately the neural connection malfunctioned half-way through the process killing Spritus and creating a functioning, but unfinished program.
Good, Bad, Good, Bad
The initial program "v1" had no name and no motive, but he had plenty of drive. He set to destroy the fledgling computer world and to take as much of the real world down with it as he could. He was able to control bulky robotic prototypes the US army had built and took over a missle silo. Were it not for the valient efforts of the "Giga Squad Team", WW3 would have occurred (and in an alternate reality, the Giga Squad Team shows up too late thus resulting in this said WW3. Ultimately in the post-apocalyptic world that is the result, the Giga Squad Team turns on each other resulting in the death of all members, but that my friends is another story).
Once defeated, "v1" is reprogrammed to be a fighter for good. This is done by going into the settings and toggling the "Evil Yes/No" setting, which is used countless times later on. As a fighter for justice, "v1" changes his name to Sprite in memory of his misguided and foolish creator, part a reminder of what he once was, and that he is capable of not being evil.
To make a long story short, this character can be used in virtually anyway. Need an ally? Use Sprite. Need an enemy? Toggle the setting and use Sprite. Need someone to die? Use Sprite, he always somehow has a backup even when in theory it's impossible to do so.
Key Events
- Sprite being a simple program, and more accurately a failed attempt at a copy of a human mind, he has no conept of emotion. He understands right and wrong, good and evil, but it is his lack of emotion that allows him to flipflop over and over. However, as time went on, Sprite was humanised in an effort to make him a depper character, more tormented over his inability to control his alliances, at times questioning if he has a soul. During a freak accident with an MRI at the Giga headquarters, Sprite accidentally transferred into the body of Rocket Claude, and Claude went into the computer. It is with Claude's body and functioning mental capcities that he learns of emotion and that carries with him back into the computer (along with any plot needed facts from Claude that could somehow be exploited later).
- At one point, thanks to buggy copies, there were many duplicates of Sprite at one time. At this time Sprite reunited with his brothers, meeting and merging with all copies of himself (some were reluctant) until there was again only one Sprite. He is changed though in that he has the experiences and personality traits of all 20 versions which were used in a LARGE variety of ways, from hospitals, to evil lair security systems. He attempted to fuse all these parts together and became far more than the simple program he had been. This storyline was an alternate reality future, which the editors may yet incorporate into regular continuity, rumoured to be retitled "Crisis on Infinte Sprite Comics".
