Powers/Abilities: Peter Dawson was invulnerable, to the point that eating was the only thing that bought him pleasure, as he had no sense of touch.

History: Peter Dawson was one of the Specials, a group of children exposed to strange radiation while in the womb and subsequently born with incredible powers. In Peter's case, his power isolated him from the world, until he became an overweight recluse. Supposedly invulnerable, he was found murdered by the police. He had been asphixiated, his limbs bound and his head covered by a plastic bag. His death marked the start of a terrible new chapter in the lives of the surviving Specials.

Comments: Created by Joe Michael Straczynski.
