Who is Wildstar?

Michael Gabriel aka Wildstar is trapped in a time loop destined to keep living the same section of time. He travels back in time to the present to stop this loop from endlessly reoccurring only to discover his involvement is the actual reason the loop exists. An unseen force steps in and causes even more chaos. Gabriel gives his past self the WildStar, an alien symbiote of the insentient race the K'l Vann, that bonds with a host to become a distinct and integral part of the host's metabolism. The Wildstar connects directly to the body functions that control glands and other bodily processes that chemically influence behavior. The symbiote then "eats" the body chemicals that result from the host's "negative," less-evolved more bestial emotions. The host in turn is powered by the parasite's alien chemistry resulting in its wearer being given superhuman strength, superhuman leaping ability, and invulnerability all due to the symbiotic parasite and the exo-membrane that it "grows" on the host's epidermis. It's most devastating weapon in its alien arsenal is a force blast that is discharged by the wearer short-circuiting the symbiote membrane's bio-circuit epidermis.
