Born and raised in Steel Canyon, Benjamin "Ben" Stone is a mechanical engineer working for the up-and-coming research and development facility META, based within the same district. Gaining the notice of the company's very own CEO, David Drake, Ben became the man's protégé, becoming more and more self-centered as he started working for him directly—leading to the development of Ben's life work: The Perpetual Engine, an experimental piece of technology conceptualized by Ben as well as his close friend, Jonathan West, with the intent of providing Paragon City, the City of Heroes, an unlimited supply of clean and renewable energy. Unfortunately, on the day of testing, an unexpected hardware error caused the Engine to malfunction, unleashing deadly amounts of dark matter on both Ben and Jonathan. Both men were in a coma, and the project was deemed a complete disaster, plummeting META's stock as well as ruining Ben's reputation.
Ben woke up from his coma first a few days later. Aside from finding out everything he worked for was in shambles, he discovered something else entirely; he had gained the ability to manipulate energy itself. From lasers to fire to electricity, Ben could absorb and redirect all kinds of energies to his whim. Not long after, Jonathan awoke as well, exhibiting similar abilities. However, he was in a much worse state as his emotional psyche completely broke, becoming obsessed with getting revenge on the company who ruined his life, especially the man who started the project; Ben himself. As Jonathan went on a rampage with his radiation-based abilities, Ben decided to make a choice. Consumed by guilt from his previous actions, he sought to put an end to his own former friend's warpath, creating a suit using META's resources and his own ingenuity—defeating Jonathan on-top of the META building in Steel Canyon. The next day, he was approached by his boss Drake, who decided to keep him employed despite the incident that led to these events. Since then, Ben modified his suit further, becoming the aptly-named superhero known as Energy.
Juggling his engineering career in META while also stopping fires and defeating rampaging supervillains as Energy, Ben quickly gained a rogues gallery of his own as he became more and more notorious for his increasing heroic exploits. Ben's work life became further complicated as he developed a growing feud with his work rival and boss, Jared Cross, who held a grudge against Ben following the Perpetual Engine disaster―eventually becoming his own arch-nemesis, the Dark Crescent, after several tragedies brought upon his downfall, including the discovery of Energy's secret identity. In time, Ben also formed a superhero team of his own called the Icons alongside the heroes Golden Knight and Fyrebrand, although the team eventually split in late 2024. More recently in 2025, Ben donned a new white-and-green armored suit, as well as joining the Advocators supergroup.
Biography
Early life
Benjamin Stone was born on May 24, 1995 in Steel Canyon, Paragon City to Bruce and Jasmine Stone. His father was a football coach and his mother was a science-fiction author. As a kid, Ben was very much into sci-fi, growing closer to his mother through her career, while in contrast wasn't as close with his father, for one due to his overall lack of interest in sports. He was also especially captivated by the superheroes of Paragon, particularly the Freedom Phalanx, much like many others―although didn't actually picture himself as a hero among them. The Stone family faced hardship during the Rikti War after the invasion first began in 2002, which caused the deaths of Ben's grandfather and cousin.
Not much is known concretely about Ben's life growing up in the years after, and it's assumed he simply had a (mostly) ordinary life in Steel Canyon. He attended Steel Canyon University in 2013 and graduated with a mechanical engineering degree, leading him to work with the up-and-coming research and development facility META, based in the same district, due to a recommendation he received from one of his professors as well as the interest of the company's CEO, David Drake. Around this time, Ben's father Bruce died suddenly of heart failure; as of 2025, Ben still feels guilty for not spending as much time as he could with his dad before he unexpectedly passed away.
