Wilfred P. Wilmington is the inventor of hover technology.
History[]
Hover Car Racer[]
Some time during the 21st century, Wilfred Wilmington created the electromagnetically elevated omni-directional vehicle (though the rest of the world would simply call it the hover car) by virtue of designing and building magneto drives.
Rather than patent or sell the schematics behind the magneto drives (even in spite of a U.S. delegation arranged by the President asking him not to do so) Wilmington gave his technology to the whole world. As magneto drives didn't require petrol/gasoline to run, countries who possessed oil such as Saudi Arabia found themselves out of business with their usual contractors like the United States.
In the decades afterward, Wilmington's genius was renowned the world over, as hover technology became a part of everyday life, with particular usage in hover car racing.
Skills[]
- Master Engineer: Wilmington was an extremely talented engineer and technician, having successfully designed the world's first magnetic propulsion vehicle, the hover car, by way of manufacturing magneto drives.
Equipment[]
- Magneto Drives and Hover Cars: Magneto drives are disc-shaped devices designed and built by Wilmington, which grants objects they are connected to the ability to hover in the air, by means of repelling against the magnetic waves given off by the Earth's core. Using these in conjunction with an appropriately designed vehicle, which he named the electromagnetically elevated omni-directional vehicle, Wilmington created a hover-capable car, dubbed the Model-T/H Ford.
Trivia[]
- While a mentioned-only role in the original novel, Wilmington does make a single-panel appearance in the graphic novel adaption.
