[edit] Fictional character biography

First appearing in Detective Comics Annual #6 (1993), Dwayne Geyer was given superpowers during the Bloodlines crossover. After being bitten by the alien Pritor, Geist was able to become invisible. He became completly invisible in bright lights and less visible in dim lighting. This was useful in fighting crime but made it impossible to hold down a job. Using his newfound powers he helped Batman (Jean Paul Valley) defeat one of the spine-sucking aliens attacking Gotham City. He also helped fight the spawn of the Bloodlines monsters.

Geist next joined the Blood Pack and fought valiantly helping them defeat the Quorum. Geist left the team after finding out he was only a member due to a clerical error. Following this, Geist largely retired from super-heroics until he was contacted by the Oracle. Informed the Society was attacking Metropolis, Geist suited up to defend the city. He joined with other former members of the Blood Pack and entered the fray. Together, they fought against Solomon Grundy. Geist was killed in Infinite Crisis #7. While fighting Grundy, Superboy-Prime fired a blast of heat vision at members of the Blood Pack. Geist, Grundy, and those members of the Blood Pack present at that time were apparently killed.
