Wise Son is a super-hero in the Dakotaverse and founding member of the Blood Syndicate. He became the Syndicate's leader following the death of Tech-9 early in their career. Like the rest of his gang, exposure to Q-Juice during the "Big Bang" gave him special abilities. This includes invulnerability and super-strength. He is a devout Muslim, with his name chosen as a Qur'an reference. Wise Son was created by Dwayne McDuffie, Ivan Velez, Jr. and Denys Cowan, first appearing in the Milestone Media publication Blood Syndicate #1. (1993)
