Complications:
Identity - Joseph was originally given the code name Rising Sun by Moore. Always bothered by the apparent racism of the name (and the potential for confusion with the nickname of Japan's hero group), Joseph changed it to Rising Star after regaining powers.
Enemy - While Joseph Ki's debt to the Yakuza has been paid, they still aren't very fond of him and wouldn't mind if he disappeared.
Indebted - Flux has always gotten their powers from an outside source. Their first time around, they were empowered by Hero's Death as a way to test his Booster technology. After being captured, losing said powers and serving their time, they worked through their probation at CREST, earning their new power sets through the company's "benifits package."
Arrest Warrant - The original members of Flux are all convicted felons who have served their time for their original crimes. Their new crimes, however, make them wanted by local and federal law enforcement agencies.

Rising Sun was created and designed by Jim Caswell. He is an NPC.
