Since it won't leave me alone, I did what I usually do in these instances - I opened up a spreadsheet and got to timelinein'

Some doodling in the margins submitted for your consideration...

• 1995 - United Nations: "The IST Academy is established. While primarily intended to groom future IST members, it is open to all young metahumans regardless of their career plans." The inaugural class had five metahumans, including a meta codenamed "Fadeout" for his invisibility and superspeed powers.
  
• 2019 - 30 September - Earth: "Draka Incursion ends with a counter-raid and the destruction of the Draka wormhole nexus generator by IST agent [WHITENOISE]." IST agent Fadeout, who doesn't survive the explosion.
  

Bob has had a copy of Fadeout's character sheet for years, but not in GURPS format -- we never got around to converting him, but he might have ended up in IST25 if that had gone ahead.

He's very very smart (IQ 30+), which is why he got to go destroy the generator. He isn't tough enough to stand up to a team of Draka on his own, though. He's a run-and-gun fighter, and they caught him standing still where he shouldn't have been... but he knew the odds of getting out were low before he went in.
