Biography[]
Backstory[]
Isaac Bowin is a young musical prodigy and Courtney Whitmore's fellow classmate. He is seen as a shy nerdy student who plays the tuba and favors assistance from Anaya Bowin, the principal of Blue Valley High School, and his mother. Isaac attends the BVHS opening house where his mother publicly praises him during her speech to the entire student body and their parents causing him to awkwardly wave to his mother and groans about the embarrassment that she inflicts. After the speech, Anaya praises Isaac's musical talent while speaking to other parents despite him standing next to her.
Isaac was constantly picked on at school by other students who ripped his new band club jacket and called him "Tuba-Turd". When his mother advices him to teach his abusers a lesson like his father did Isaac strikes one of the bullies in the head with his tuba and pays no mind to the pain he is in.
Injustice Unlimited and Death[]
Following his mother 's death, Isaac becomes even more closed off around the other students as he would hardly say a word to anyone. While attending summer school Isaac is visited by Cindy Burman who extends her hand in friendship to the young boy and tells him that she knows what it's like to lose family. Isaac then receives a special violin that belonged to his parents and becomes the first member of Injustice Unlimited.
Isaac fights the new JSA alongside Cindy and Artemis Crock. He incapacitates Yolanda Montez with his violin but is easily defeated by her after Courtney Whitmore subdues him long enough for Yolanda to take his weapon and break it. When Eclipso ends up betraying Cindy and manifesting his true form due to Courtney destroying the black diamond, he tears off one of Cindy's blades and throws it into Isaac. Eclipso then absorbs Isaac's soul, turning his body to ash.

Powers[]
- Sound Manipulation: Isaac was able to manipulate and generate sound for various purposes using the violin that previously belonged to his parents.
- Sonic Blasts: Isaac could produce powerful blasts of sound strong enough to throw people and destroy a table and a concrete pillar.
- Pain Inducement: Isaac used his violin to create high-pitched, targeted sound frequencies, that debilitated his victim and forced them to the ground. Wildcat tried to cover her ears to escape the pain but still writhed from its effects.
Abilities[]

His mother has praised his musical talents with the tuba, stating that he was a prodigy who would be better than she ever was. Indeed, though Isaac had initial doubts of being able to use his mother's violin the way she or her husband has, he quickly learned how to weaponize music through it within days' time.
