Dr Dayglow

Some call it mere coincidence that in the same hospital, only a few minutes after Albert Einstein closed his eyes for the last time, little Darwin burst forth from his mother’s womb.

He showed early signs of brilliance. At four he cured Mr. Potato Face, the family cat, of his glaucoma. By six, he had a slightly better grasp on genetics than Watson & Crick. By ten, he had bred Mr. Potato Face with a chicken and written an extensive proposal on how to end world hunger, entitled Chicken-Cats: A Modest Proposal.

Dayglow discovered time travel in his twenties while trying to master his family’s new microwave, but has kept the intricacies a secret for safety's sake. Staunchly committed to his craft, Dayglow's obsession with the Neon Gene and the collection and study of the resulting mutations, came after he met Mitch on an expedition to the island he eventually made his home.
