    Bio

    Kelvin Mao was a member of the Gotham City Police Department Tactical Unit. This unit was sent to face the alien parasite  Angon, who was committing murders throughout the city. The entire squad was killed except Mao, who was bitten by Angon and received massive injuries. Mao was placed in a body-cast at the hospital; this lasted until the alien's bite mutated him; a rare occurrence for bite victims. The alien's bite activated Mao's metagene and gave him armored skin and other enhanced abilities. Taking the name Ballistic, he teamed up with Jean-Paul Valley, who was filling in for Batman at the time, and together they drove Angon out of the city.

Ballistic next became a member of the superhero reality show, The Blood Pack, a group filled with many New Bloods. He helped the team beat the Quorum but the team disbanded shortly after. Kelvin then spent some time on his own as a vigilante, occasionally aiding Batman, but soon found another team. Cave Carson's Forgotten Heroes came calling and Ballistic joined them for a mission aiding Resurrection Man. It seems Ballistic left the Forgotten Heroes after this mission.
