NAVIKAI
Alter ego: Kai Nakoa, 15, Native Hawaiian teen stargazer and canoe-navigation student from Hilo.
“Look up and find your way.”
Origin
Kai was learning to navigate a canoe by the stars when a fog bank rolled in at night. He looked up through a gap in the clouds and a shooting star fell straight into his hands. Now the stars always show him the way, and gravity listens to him.
Powers
- Star Map: reads the stars to find any path, even in fog
- Moon Hop: lowers gravity around himself to jump like an astronaut on the Moon
- Orbit Bubble: floats objects and friends gently in a silver bubble
Weakness
Light pollution: under bright city lights he cannot see the stars and his powers dim.
Sidekick
Comet, a tiny silver-and-purple space jellyfish that floats and glows.
Villain
Dazzlo, who covers the night sky with blinding billboards so no one can see the stars.
Costume
a space-navy fitted hero suit with nebula-purple panels, star-silver constellation dots across the shoulders, silver flat boots.
