Time of Death: “Project Reborn,” Season 1, Episode 13
Cause of Death: Sacrificed his life to dissipate a solar flare.
When we first met Luke, he and his wife had turned to a life of crime after their young son was killed during the attack at Odessa. The attack filled them with hate and they decided to begin killing evos out of revenge.
As the season progressed, Luke discovered that he too was an evo – one which possessed the ability to radiate heat/light from his hands. After discovering his abilities, Luke began his road to redemption which truly took a turn in the right direction when Malina saved his life. The two would assist one another on Malina’s journey to find her brother and save the world. T
Thanks to Malina, Luke was finally able to do some good with his life.With the first solar flare of the H.E.L.E. threatening the Earth, Luke sacrificed his life by flying into the flare and absorbing its energy.
