Brendan Foster

Brendan Foster, Jr. (ブレンダン・フォスター・ジュニア) is the titular main protagonist of Gifted. He is an Essex City High School alumnus, the son of Brendan Foster, Sr. and Martha Foster, the younger brother of Melissa Foster, an former employee at Tech City, and a former vigilante.

He was a close friend of Tracy Queen and Jeremy Kent, and after discovering the existence of other universes, Brendan became the first to meet real super powered beings. Meeting Earth 2's Prodigy, Tracy and Jeremy were sent to live with Brendan while he dealt with the growing threat of an unknown villain.

However, when villains from Earth 2 begin to crossover to Earth 3, Brendan 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 managed 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, Brendan's body was taken over by the malicious android. However, Brendan was able to gain enough control to force his body into The Light, to rid the Earth of Alex forever, at the cost of his freedom.
