Powers/Abilities: Crackshot's super power is natural perfect aim. Without practice, preparation or genuine effort of any kind, he can always hit exactly what he's aiming for in whatever way he wants. Been that way since birth. Only outside interference of some kind can ever change this. His superhuman talent extends to mechanics, as he designed and built a miniature acceleration tunnel, his "whammer", when he was eighteen or nineteen. Wearing it on his forearm, it mechanically increases the speed and distance of the projectiles, but his aim is just as good whether he uses the device, or his bare hands.

History: With a perfect aim and knack for mechanics Lee Clayton became a professional criminal called Crackshot, but eventually ended up in prison. He was a model prisoner and was eventually recruited for Wayne Linnier's Liberty Project.

Comments: Created by Kurt Busiek and James W. Fry. Thanks to James Fry for additional information. James informs me "The reason he was absent from his teammates' TeenAgents appearance is that he'd resigned from the team as the first-ever graduate of the Liberty Project. While he remains in touch with the others, he is currently a solo crimefighter in the greater San Francisco area. Pointless trivia: Crackshot is originally from New York State. His estranged father is a high school basketball coach, and he has a teenage younger brother named Charles."
