Fictional character biography

Born in 1982, Rockwell Davis acquired a stolen armor suit and took up the name Hi-Lite before attempting to rob the New York Museum of Antiquities on June 3rd 2007 of a jewel encrusted goblet for an international buyer. However, during the robbery a security guard suffered a heart attack and Davis stayed to perform C.P.R. until the police arrived[1].

Davis was taken into custody and was later released on bail. However, Davis missed a court date and was later tracked down by bounty hunter She-Hulk and her Skrull partner Jazinda (disguised as She-Hulk's alter ego Jennifer Walters). During the arrest The Absorbing Man (Davis's cousin) and his miniaturized wife Titania attacked the bounty hunters. Davis is eventually taken into custody and is revealed to have a crush on Jennifer Walters/She-Hulk[2].
