ABILITIES: Dark Energy/Dark Matter Control and Body: Nihilo is entirely composed of and controls dark matter and dark energy. Similar to how adding -1 and 1 together cancels both out, dark energy/dark matter coming into contact with their standard counterparts causes them to cancel each other out. The sensation feels like burning acid. Nihilo is able to launch blasts of dark energy from his hands, and use its natural aversion to standard energy and matter to fly at immense speeds. He does not need to eat, sleep, or breathe, rather absorbing ambient dark energy from the surroundings.
SKILLS: Having once been the same person as Timothy Smith, Nihilo possesses much of the same skills. A nearly-complete doctorate in energy physics, a Masters in engineering, as well as a decent amount of knowledge in most other sciences. He possesses a fair amount of coding and hacking skill, but it has no finesse. Currently, he doesn't have much use for these skills
WEAKNESSES: Nihilo is nearly constantly in pain. While the dark matter that comprises his body naturally repels standard matter and energy, it's not perfect. The air itself can still get in somewhat and "cancel out" part of his body and this causes him constant, immense pain. He's learned to work through it, but it's affected his mind and can overwhelm him at times. The repulsive field around him can be overwhelmed easily by attacks he doesn't know are coming, as well as strikes of sufficient impact. Any direct contact with any sort of matter or energy that pierces the field negates part of his body, which he must reconstruct from ambient dark energy. As dark energy isn't as plentiful as standard energy, at least on earth, this often means he must flee a battle before he'd like to in order to reconstitute himself, because he drained the current ambient dark energy in the area.

Appearance
GENERAL: Nihilo is completely comprised of dark matter/energy, and as such is an otherworldly, glowing purple-black color. This also extends to his "clothes," dark matter recreations of what he was wearing as Timothy Smith during the accident, minus safety gear. This amounts to what appears to b a long lab coat-esque coat, a t-shirt, and jeans.
COSTUME: Nihilo has no civilian life. As such, he has no need for a costume, and what he wears generally is what he wears in combat.

Personality
Nihilo's psyche is a shattered mess. Nearly driven mad by pain, he lashes out at just about any one and any thing within reach. He's sarcastic and biting, aiming to wound emotionally as well as physically when he can. He has a high view of himself and his abilities, but that's really just a front he puts up to hide the true pain he actually feels.
Should his condition ever be handled and the physical pain he suffers be eliminated, people would find someone fiercely loyal to his friends (if he ever makes any), and willing to go through hell to protect them. Right now, however, he has no friends and at the moment, due to the intense pain he is in constantly, would probably just as soon shoot you in the head as look at you.

History
Up until about five years ago, Nihilo and Timothy Smith were the same person. Then the accident happened. Timothy, in his hubris, disabled the safeties on an experimental cold fusion generator, which then exploded, killing his parents and giving him superpowers. It also sheared away all the dark matter and dark energy inside of Tim, which congealed with aspects of his personality into another being who was defined by pain, and began to call himself Nihilo, Latin for 'nothing,' as a testament to the unknown nature of the material he was now made up of.
Over the years, Nihilo learned to mange the constant pain just existing brought him, and soon that pain was forged into a razor sharp hatred of everything and everyone. If the universe wanted to kill him, he'd try to kill it right back. But most of all, he hated his "brother," Tim, who got fun regular energy powers and was well-liked. He became Tim's first real supervillain, attempting to destroy him, believing it would bring him some measure of peace. They clashed several times throughout the five years from his creation to the present, and Nihilo is now known to the general public somewhat. He lives where he can find a place that's relatively pain free: not a lot of extra matter or energy hitting him.
Tim still wants to try to rescue and redeem him.
Nihilo just wants the pain to stop.
But he doesn't want to stop living either.
