History

Arthur Benway (Earth-148611) from D.P

Arthur Benway

Arthur Benway developed the ability to create fields of anti-gravity in the phenomenon known as the White Event. Soon after this, he admitted himself into the Clinic for Paranormal Research in Wisconsin, and was assigned to Therapy Group B. Therapy Group B had something of a rivalry with Therapy Group C of the Clinic, and Benway and his friend Rodney Weigand seemed to particularly dislike Randy O'Brien, seemingly because of his good looks and high status as a doctor. This rivalry even caused Benway to use his powers to cheat in an inter-clinic volleyball tournament.

Benway and Weigand later took on jobs as security guards in the Clinic and used their positions to intimidate other patients. They sexually harassed Charlotte Beck and became known for their racist attitudes. They caught the attention of a breakaway militant therapy group who called themselves the Black Powers. Benway and Weigand began a campaign of killing against the Black Powers and succeeded in killing Ross 'Chill' Wexler and probably Lionel 'Blindspot' Berry. Their attempt to kill another, Jim 'Squirm' Walkins, failed because Walkins' paranormal durability saved him.

During a riot between patients in the Clinic, hostilities came out into the open and Arthur and Rodney were attacked by two of the Black Powers, Indigo and Bazooka. It is not known if they were killed, or if they went on the run. Either way, they were not seen at the Clinic again and did not appear to be drafted like other male paranormals into the army later on. [citation needed]
