Personality: Easy going, although competitive to the core, Vernon is an unique mix of calm and pride on the outside, covering a small amount of self-doubt. Vernon's athletic abilities at CSHS have earned him great recognition as a powerful athlete, and he could jump nearly an unprecedented 9 feet into the air before he started his training as a Misfit, and is one of the fastest runners on his track team. He feels he must prove himself to the world, because he feels a strange lack of confidence sometimes despite his impressive physical abilities. However Vernon has probably one of the most laid-back personalities of the eight original Misfits, and is himself a joker, however not to the extent of Jason and Alex, but is also very hard to rile up and anger by his friends. He does get chuckles out of his 'rivalry' with Alex, as the two of them tend to compete in more areas now than they used to, due to Alex's sudden cure of his Cerebral Palsy. However in truth, Vernon is very thankful Alex has overcome it, since he could not imagine the hell Alex must've experienced not able to walk all that well, and unable to run and jump like he could for so many years. However Vernon is also a slight pervert and also feels that his future heroic efforts might actually impress a few ladies into a date with him. However despite this slightly perverted personality, he does care for the women in his life, and will also protect them at all costs. Although Saiya-jin by blood, he is probably the most human in emotion between himself, Alex and Jason.


Biography:

The Beginning of an Era:

Although we are aware of Vernon's Saiya-jin blood, his 'foster parents' are not apparently aware of anything about him that makes him unrelated to them as of yet. Vernon does wonder though if they might be hiding something deep down that they feel he is yet unready to know. It is however known that Vernon has also like Alex undergone the transformation to Oozaru once in his life, at the age of 3. However, unlike Alex, who would've rampaged across the immediate area had it not been for the quick thinking of his foster parents, Vernon seemed to retain most of his conscious thought and control, much like how Vegeta could during his first battle with Goku on Earth while in the form. Due to his, Vernon did not cause much damage, although for strange reasons, he has not yet told the others of this strange occurrence. It might be possible he has forgotten it due to his age at the time causing a large gap in his memories, however it is known that like Alex and Jason, he too no longer has his tail, and he might indeed view the incident as merely a dream.

Most of Vernon's life from there up until his arrival at CSHS is not well known to us, however it is known that he possessed a skill of athletics that most others were envious of. Even as a young kid, he had an abnormal jumping height, which peaked at 8 feet and 6 inches, and great running speed compared to his peers before the series started. From this, Vernon was inspired to take track and jumping classes at CSHS, and is still to an extent part of the team to this day, although lack of appearances to CSHS in recent times might put his position on the team into jeopardy.

Also known is that he has known Devin, Virgil and Alex for quite a long time, since their young school days. During this time, Devin and Vernon grew to become basically best friends, while Alex also became a good acquaintance. Vernon also met Jackson McCarakins for the first time. Prior to Jackson's 'betrayal' of Alex, Vernon and him were not enemies, although they weren't exactly great friends either. After Jackson turned his back on Alex due to his Cerebral Palsy suddenly kicking in, Vernon became angered at Jackson, while showing sympathy to Alex due to the fact that he understood what the condition truly meant for Alex: little mobility, having to use other objects to get around, and no athletic abilities. Vernon also feared subconsciously that he would someday get the condition, which would effectively kill his dreams of becoming a great athlete. Although Alex and Vernon were mostly friends, they also began to slowly develop rivalries in video games, which still continues to this day, and has erupted into their physical training methods.

At CSHS, Vernon would meet Clint, Dusty, Jason, Dan, Nina, while he re-met with Devin, Alex and later Virgil just before the series began. Vernon has also shown recent interests in wrestling and anime, two subjects of culture shared among a large amount of the original Misfits, and helping to unite them as a group. It was because of this Vernon accepted Clint's offer to take him along to Tokyo, Japan, where the series begins...

The Misfits:

Prologue and Saga 1:

Vernon is seen in the Prologue[though not called by name]. He is seen ogling one of the flight attendants and talking to Alex about getting a girlfriend and how he'll probably be the first one. Nina overhears their talk and gets annoyed to the point of casting the Hokaku spell on him and Alex, causing them to shrink to the size of mice. When they reappear in Part 1, they are both back to full size.

Vernon goes with Alex, Jason, Clint and Devin to Shonen Jump HQ first, to see Akira Toriyama, the creator of Dr. Slump and Dragonball, and asks the creator if he ever plans to one day continue Dragonball from the end of Z[and skipping GT], to which the creator is unsure. After the meeting, Vernon receives some personally requested art from Toriyama, one of them being a picture of Piccolo, and also gets his calling card.

Later, Vernon also attends the movie about the origin of anime, but he is not exactly the most interested. However his life gets far less boring after Alex and Jason get into a shoving match in the middle of the movie, breaking the movie projector. While the group yells at Alex and Jason about the projector, a strong 6.7 earthquake shakes the theatre and most of Tokyo, while the movie screen suddenly erupts into a blinding flash. Suddenly the screen forms into a interdimensional portal, sucking most of the group into it, sans Jason. Vernon had been blinded and tripped trying to run for cover from the suction, being taken in anyways.

Vernon recovers and finds himself on a secluded island and laying on the edge of a large crater. After getting his bearings, he wanders around the island trying to find civilization, when he suddenly experiences earthquakes and feels explosions in the distance. He soon gets sight of two familiar faces. To his shock, the two are the cyborg teenager #17, and the Namekian Piccolo, both characters from Dragonball. Vernon manages to catch #17's attention, then Piccolo's, and they are confused to Vernon's knowledge of them, but before much more can be learned, another portal surrounds all three of them, whisking them away, and back to the theatre in Tokyo. Vernon discovers he is not the only one who has brought stowaways with him, as he recognizes Goku, Vegeta, Buu and Radditz, as well as Dwayne and Steve, among others. After a very large amount of explanations and expositions, the group goes to a hotel nearby to stay the night.

That night, Vernon is paired with Goku to his pleasant surprise. Goku notices the picture of Piccolo Toriyama made for him, and Vernon further explains the oddity of the situation, believing a merger of universes has happened. Radditz briefly interrupts them, asking for a sensu bean from Goku, which he is given. After a while, Goku chows on food and falls asleep, and Vernon is last seen watching TV that night.

The next day, Vernon returns to Canton with the newly combined group, narrowly evading an unknown deathtrap devised by Oyatsu by sheer luck, and safely arrives back to his hometown of Canton. Upon getting home, he offers Piccolo and #17 to live with him for the time being, saying he has ways to get his parents to let them stay, the three head back to Vernon's house...

Saga 2:

A couple of days later in Part 3, Vernon is among the arrivals to Goku's ki training session. He states that one of his original intents to becoming a hero is to get a girlfriend, and also to give Alex something to work for by being his rival. However after gaining the ability to fly, he leaves suddenly, missing out on the initial chance to learn how to sense and mask ki energy.

The next day in Part 4, we learn that Vernon has asked Piccolo and #17 to train him, and that the two have agreed. Piccolo realizes that Vernon has a semi-quick learning curve over the next few days, having gained upwards of 10,000 powerlevel in less than 4 days. #17 also makes a few ominous observations to himself. At the end of Part 4, #17 spars with Vernon using only a minor fraction of his real power. After getting hammered on for a bit, Vernon temporarily snaps when #17 pretends to make a move to finish him off, going feral and transforming into a Super Saiya-jin, and actually managing to force Piccolo to let up on his grip. However a short blow from an intervening Nina snaps Vernon out of it, and he regains his bearings, to learn from Piccolo that Alex had attained the same level the day prior.

In Part 5, Alex and Vernon are shortly paired up with each other for training when Piccolo and #17 take him to Alex's house and merge with Goku and Vegeta for the day. Vernon and Alex turn up the heat of their rivalry and get into a small sparring match, which both end up taking too far to the point of completely draining themselves of energy. They are put on to rest in Alex's living room, waking up to find that Devin, Mr. Buu and Paula have also arrived for a picnic while they were out. Devin has made some juice-drinks for himself, Alex and Vernon. However to Vernon's dismay, Jason has been able to sneak a voice serum into all three of their drinks, causing their voices to heighten in pitch to chipmunk levels. Paula retrieves Jason and his accomplice Clint, and takes Clint back to his house, leaving Jason to the wrath of the rest of them, including Vernon.

Later that night, Alex's house is pranked by Virgil two times, along with Radditz, Steve, Dwayne and Paula as well. Although Vernon accompanies them to Virgil's house, he decides not to partake in dishing out any form of revenge on Virgil, both because it's not worth it to him, and because he'd rather save it for someone like Alex. He leaves and goes back to him house to rest for his day back to school the next day.

Unfortunately, the next day turns out to be quite bad, as it is September 11th. At first, Vernon's day is progressing normal at school, until he and Jason hear about the attacks for the first time in Mr. Summers' room. Vernon also manages to notice Jason's increased power boiling through in his anger, but keeps it silent for the time being. Vernon's mood slowly becomes more sour as the day goes on. However the worst of it occurs when Dan is attacked personally by members of Al-Qaeda, trying to use the innocent Teresa Hamilton against him to cover their actions. He is also witness to the questioning change in Clint to that of a Super Saiya-jin form, but has no real explanation to why he is that way. After some talking with the other Misfits and a final confrontation with their antagonist Jackson McCarakins, the group departs from Canton South High School into a special training regimen that intends to prevent disasters like 9/11 or worse from ever happening again...

Part 7 begins with Vernon being ultimately grouped in with Alex and Jason, now being taught and trained by Goku, Vegeta, Piccolo, #17 and occasionally Mr. Buu. It is at this point #17 reveals that he has always known of the Saiya-jin DNA within the three younger Misfits, much to some of their chagrin. Vernon also mentioned of what he noticed about Jason's jump in power to them, and agrees he should be trained further, and in fact is there to witness Jason's enraged transformation to Super Saiya-jin, all the way up to Super Saiya-jin 4th Grade.

In Part 8, Vernon, Alex and Jason are taken to a new training grounds by Goku and Vegeta, accompanied by Mr. Buu. The new area is an abandoned stadium with a lot of space. Additionally, the three youngest Misfits actually get to witness a sparring match between Goku, Vegeta and Mr. Buu. It is at this point Vernon realizes he has a long ways to go despite his new found powers compared to the beginning. However later on in the day, he gets to be witness to a crazy stunt of Piccolo and #17, who suddenly fall into the stadium on a pair of motorcycles, giving them a scare.

In Part 9, Vernon, Jason and Alex get the chance to spar amongst themselves in a free-for-all battle during the first day, as well as learning about the change within Radditz later on. On the second day, Vernon learns Jason has attained Super Saiya-jin 2 first, and Jason helps him and Alex understand that pride and competition will not help either one obtain the new level. With this new knowledge, both Vernon and Alex finally ascend to Super Saiya-jin 2 later on that day. However, upon gaining Super Saiya-jin 2, Vernon learns a new technique, where he gathers a sphere of electrical energy and can throw it at his target for explosive-electrical damage, a move Alex also believes is based off an attack in an RPG he played.

In Part 10, Vernon is called by Devin early in the morning, who informs him Dan is strangely running around and apparently capturing other Misfits for some unknown reason. Vernon gets a hold of Jason, and the two of them arrive with only Devin still uncaptured for a short time. It turns out while Dan is indeed partially responsible for the wrong-doings, he is not actually in control of himself, but a shapeshifter with the ability to possess others named Oyatsu is behind it. After a short confrontation with Oyatsu, Vernon and Jason are unfortunately defeated when Oyatsu uses the 'Durty Durt Dur' curse on them to block their Super Saiya-jin levels, and then shrinks both of them down and captures them along with Devin. Vernon and most of the others are later rescued after Nina, Teresa and #18 defeat Oyatsu and free Dan, allowing them to release the other captured Misfits. Realizing he cannot train all too much with the curse still affecting him and most of the other Saiya-jin Misfits, Vernon decides to go back to taking his original day off, ending part 10.

Saga 3:

However later on that day, Vernon picks up on Goku's powerlevel taking an unnatural boost, and then learns Goku still has the Kaioken ability. Vernon is then called by Goku and Alex, who offer to teach anyone who comes to Goku with the obligation to learn it. Vernon is also finally taught how to sense and mask ki energy at the training session, learning that both are essential tools to utilizing Kaioken without fatal consequences. They are also able to met North Kaio, one of Goku's former teachers, and the forefather of the Kaioken, who helps the group understand how to use the ability with better clarity. In the end of the training, Vernon manages to pull off a Kaioken x2, which less than half of the current group can do at the moment in time.

Closing:

Vernon's time as a Misfit has shown has a few of his ups and downs as a person so far. However, despite the shortcomings he suffers, he usually manages to keep his temper calm and in check, in contrast to many of his friends, who tend to freak out in bad situations.
