Scavenger's Suit is fashioned out of deflexion silicone. This lightweight but strong fabric allows for free movement and flexibility. When Scavenger is struck by a blow, whether it be a fist or another non-lethal weapon, the fabric immediately turns solid to absorb the pressure before reverting back to its free-moving state.
The White Crow has no formal name, but is one of Calvin's closest friends. Since becoming Scavenger, the bird has served as eyes and ears for Calvin during tough situations and has gotten him out of trouble on more than one occasion. The crow acts similar to a familiar, holding primitive conversations and protecting Calvin when needed.

Personality: A seeker of order and control, Calvin is very logical and fact-oriented. He is more likely to crack open a rule book than crack a smile, and his no-nonsense approach to life and work will sometimes unintentionally rub others the wrong way. Regardless of the feathers he ruffles, Calvin strives to remain honest and direct, never one to emotionally manipulate a situation or a person for his own gain. Integrity is important to Calvin and in his strong-willed nature, does his best to remain true to what he believes in. While he sometimes believes his personality to be a fault in itself, he cherishes the people closest to him and values all forms of loyalty.
Calvin agrees that his way of looking at the world is rather black and white, but when he feels a certain way, he stubbornly digs in and resists new ideas. It can make him a hassle to deal with, leaving Calvin rather isolated at times where he is known to retreat inward.
Background Story:
Born to a single mother on the outskirts of Star City, Calvin never saw the best of anything while growing up. Despite never having the fanciest bike in the neighborhood, or brand new shoes from the good mall, there was never a lack of love in his life. From an early age, Calvin's mother encouraged his curious side and fostered his creativity however she could--whether it was through scribbled crayon drawings or inexpensive crafts. One thing that Calvin always enjoyed doing with his mother was making birdhouses out of scrap wood and decorating them with shiny objects found around the neighborhood. For whatever reason, there always seemed to be crows and other animals hanging around his childhood home. It would be years before Calvin truly understood the extent of his familial gifts.
Life was stable for a while and time marched on without missing a beat, taking Calvin from a curious child to a reserved and sometimes timid teen. Making friends and keeping them was difficult and his extremely pale skin often lead to teasing at school. His mother, who worked her fingers to the bone cleaning in the city, remained his closest companion until disaster struck. The doctors claimed that residual radiation from the war caused the cancer, but at the time, it felt more like faulty genes and bad luck. The death of his mother changed Calvin and closed a loving, sensitive part of his personality that has never resurfaced. How could it when he was left in the system and bounced around from orphanage to foster home and back again?
At some point in his mid-teens, Calvin was looking for something new to believe in and while poking around the basement of another temporary home, he found a stack of boxes and old news papers. Green Arrow hadn't meant much to Calvin before reading those old, yellowed newspaper articles and glimpsing into a time when good deeds still meant something. He wanted that kind of recognition, to make some kind of a difference in the world and perhaps, feel respected for once. Afterwards, Calvin started training, working out and reading every archery book that he could get his hands on. He was proficient in the history and practice before ever getting his hands on a bow--application was a little easier said than done.
Nothing ever came easy, but after aging out of the system and having more control of his life, Scavenger was born. With a new image, Star City's newest vigilante was out to pick the bones of criminals one arrow at a time and soon enough, Calvin had his own articles. Maybe someone out there could finally be proud of him.
Today:
Currently, Calvin resides in a small, one bedroom apartment in the heart of downtown Star City where his day job at an expensive brunch hotspot allows him to listen in on the shady deals being made over toast points. By night, Scavenger patrols the streets with the white crow, saving lives and making a dent in high-powered crime one arrow at a time. Keeping the streets safe has become something of an obsession for Calvin and the longer he plays judge and jury, the sooner he becomes the executioner as well.
The papers and reporters that used to love and adore him are now torn on his presence and split over how brutal their bird-loving savior has become. No one can mince words over results, however, and now that the streets of Star City have become a little safer, Calvin's aspirations have broadened. His goals are lofty, but his heart is in the right place.
