Nick Waters

Nicholas "Nick" Waters, Jr. (c. 2000) is a student at Essex City High School, the son of Nicholas Waters, Sr. and Martha Waters, the younger brother of Melissa Waters, an employee at Tech City, a super human vigilante, and the titular main protagonist of Gifted.

He is a close friend of Tracy Queen and Jeremy Kent. After discovering the existence of other universes, Nick became the first to meet real super powered beings. Meeting Earth-2's Prodigy, Tracy and Jeremy were sent to live with Nick while he dealt with the growing threat of an unknown villain. However when villains from Earth-2 begin to crossover to Earth-3, Nick teamed up with Tracy and Jeremy to combat them while also balancing his life at school.

He then became the target for villains seeking the Orb of Destiny, which he manages to unlock after his fight with Alex Parker. Gaining powers of his own, he became a superhero himself until retiring after Matrix's defeat. After falling ill to a nano-virus implanted by Alex Parker, Nick's body was taken over by the malicious android, however Nick was able to gain enough control to force his body into The Light, to rid the Earth of Alex forever.

3 years later, Nick returned from The Light and reunited with his friends. At some point after this, Nick marries Tracy and has kids of his own.
