Locke the Superman

Synopsis

Despite often rejecting the title, the recluse known as "Locke the Superman" is a courteous, immortal esper whose origins remain shrouded in mystery. No one knows when or where he was born, and Locke himself claims to have no memory of these events—though his statement may very well be accurate. During the "Millennium of the Witch" incident, when questioned by Cornelia Prim, he revealed that his home star was named "Toa." Throughout galactic history, Locke has appeared at various times, sometimes directly influencing events and other times merely observing. His esper abilities allow him to learn skills and complete tasks far quicker than ordinary humans. Additionally, these powers grant him eternal youth, enabling him to take the form of a child so that kind families will take him in. Many suspect he maintains this youthful appearance as a way to avoid responsibility for the problems he encounters, relying on the expectation that children are not held accountable for such matters.
