===== DMC File No: 0181 =====  

**Subject Name:** William Stratton  

**Alias(es):** Strattos

**Affiliation:** Shockwave, various metahuman criminals

**First Recorded Appearance:** 1987

**Power Tier Classification:** Class A (Weather Manipulation)

===== Abilities Summary =====

==== Class A Atmospheric Manipulation ==== 
Strattos possesses the formidable metahuman ability to manipulate weather patterns within an extensive radius, estimated up to 1000 miles. He has demonstrated control over various meteorological phenomena, including but not limited to, precipitation, wind, and electrical storms.

==== Class A Electrical Generation ====
Subject is capable of generating and directing electrical discharges, both in the form of lightning from the sky and emanating from his person. One such demonstration Strattos shown he could generate up to one billion volts of electricity.

==== Class A Flight ====
Strattos exhibits the ability to self-propel and navigate through the air, though the mechanism of this ability remains unclear. When in flight, subject has shown to be able to reach speeds of up to 420 kilometers per hour.

==== Technological Ingenuity ====
Confirmed genius-level intellect, particularly in fields of engineering and technology. Crafted a sophisticated suit of power armor enhancing physical strength and resilience. His suit of armor allows him to lift up to 3 tons, and protects the subject from most physical forms of damage.

===== Origin =====

Native to Bendis City, William Stratton's life prior to becoming Strattos included studying engineering at Stanford University. The catalyst for his transformation into Strattos remains undisclosed.

===== History of Activity =====

Strattos's criminal record is marked by numerous high-profile heists, predominantly targeting technology firms and valuable art pieces. Despite the grand scale of his operations, there are no recorded incidents resulting in mass casualties.

===== Psychological Profile =====

Strattos exhibits a complex moral code uncommon among individuals of similar criminal notoriety. He shows a consistent tendency to avoid unnecessary loss of life and attempts to minimize collateral damage during criminal activities. Notable is his loyalty to his associates and his relationship with Lisa Stratton (Shockwave).

===== Criminal Record =====

Engaged in multiple counts of grand theft, unauthorized atmospheric manipulation, evasion and resistance to arrest, and repeated escapes from metahuman containment facilities.

===== DMC Status =====

Recidivist. Currently contained in Samson Knight Correctional Facility with special accommodations designed to encourage voluntary detainment. Historical patterns suggest a high likelihood of future escape attempts.

===== Threat Level =====

**High** - Strattos's ability to manipulate weather on a large scale poses a significant threat to public safety and national security, despite his self-imposed restraints on civilian casualties.

===== Contingency Protocol =====

  * Continuous monitoring of atmospheric patterns within and surrounding Bendis City for anomalies correlating with Strattos's known capabilities.
  * Maintenance of rapid deployment units equipped to counteract wide-scale meteorological events.
  * Engagement protocols emphasize non-lethality and damage mitigation, reflecting Strattos's own operational tendencies.
  * Ongoing development of technological countermeasures to inhibit Strattos's power armor and weather manipulation capabilities.

===== NOTE =====
Strattos remains an enigmatic figure among metahuman criminals, combining high-intellect, vast destructive potential, and a paradoxically ethical stance on human life. His recurrent incarcerations and escapes highlight the limitations of current metahuman containment strategies and the need for adaptive approaches concerning long-term detention of high-power individuals.
