Bio: Tyler Randall was a 'meteor freak' with the ability to reduce organic matter to ash with just a touch. In early 2002, while visiting his elderly mother Rose in the hospital, she'd asked Tyler to help her end her suffering. Reluctantly, he'd tried to suffocate her with a pillow, but had been interrupted by hospital security. In the struggle, he'd been thrown out a window, landing twenty feet below and dying immediately from his injuries. However, a piece of kryptonite from his bracelet had embedded itself in his skin during the fall, and as the coroner had tried to examine his body, Tyler had gotten up from the table, seemingly resurrected — though, Clark Kent had later discovered via x-ray vision that Tyler had had no heartbeat. Unfortunately, he'd accidentally touched the coroner, and that's when he'd learned that his accident had left him with a death touch, reducing the coronor to ashes. Later, while volunteering for a Meal-on-Wheels type program, Tyler had used his ability to euthanize an elderly woman named Birdy Sikes, as well as her dog Pepper. After learning that Whitney Fordman's father George had fallen ill, he'd visited him in the hospital, intent on ending the elderly Mr. Fordman's misery. However, Clark had realized what he'd meant to do, and had stopped him just in time. Clark had then revealed that Tyler's mother Rose had survived the assisted suicide attempt, before taking Tyler to visit Rose. Clark had pointed out that as long as there's life, there's hope. This had led Tyler to the realization that while he'd thought he'd been relieving others' suffering, it had actually been his own pain he'd been trying to relieve. Then, before Clark could've stopped him, Tyler had used his death touch on himself, reducing his body to ashes.
