Base of Operations: London, England.
First Appearance: The Extremists #3 "Burying The Hatchet".
Origin: Widescreen is a mutant and was born with his powers allthough they didn't manifest until he reached puberty.
Height: 6 foot 4 inches
Weight: 260lbs (18 stones and 8 pounds)
Eyes: Brown
Hair: Shaved. He had dark brown hair as a child though.
Distinguishing Marks: Other than being a little overweight, Ray doesn't have any distinguishing marks.
Strength Level: Ray posesses the same strength as a human of his height weight and build who engages in moderate excercise.
Known Superhuman Powers: Widescreen has the ability to stretch his body widthways. If done to the extreme, he can render himself completely flat and very wide indeed. While at first this power seems to be rather silly and rather pointless, it does come in handy for him at times. Like fending off ugly mutant-a-phobe females, hiding somewhere rather skinny amongst lots of other practical uses.
Ray was nicknamed "Widescreen" in his youth due to these sideways morphing abilties and it stuck, hence his code name.
Abilities/Special Skills: Ray is a trained electrician and is generally considered as an odd job man as he's dabbled in a lot of do-it-yourself type jobs like plubing, carpentry, bricklaying, plastering and labouring. Ray isn't much of a trained fighter, he's more of a brawler and can pack a pretty sturdy punch.
 Weapons Used: NNone, allthough as a brawler he tends to use whatever objects are around him at the time of a fight. Like a plank of wood or a glass bottle.

Personality: Ray is a really nice guy at heart, allthough he is a heavy drinker and more often than not can't remember how it was he got home after a night out. He loves his women and isn't generally terribly fussy about who he takes home, but he does retain some standards (allthough sometimes he's disturbed the next morning when he discovers who he took home).
He's good natured, and enjoys a good laugh with the boys, being that he's a real man's man. But he also likes his own company which is why he chose to live alone when back in his home town in Liverpool.
Personal Interests: Ray is a huge fan of the hit TV show "Violetine Says" and actually appeared on the program as a contestant and was came second place in the final show of the season. This was a couple of years ago though, when he was more agile and before he gained the excess weight.
He's also a huge fan of silly action movies with lots of shooting and swearing in them, and has a passion for current angry rock music. His favourite bands include Sheep Dunk, Spasm, Spinster Killer and Mr Blonde.
Ray isn't much of a clothes horse, but he loves buying boots. He has quite the collection, most of which are still in Liverpool at his mother's house.
History: Not a lot has been revealed about the Liverpool born Ray Kavon. What has been revealed is that he has been captured by a mutant research centre, and rescued by The Extremists. And was later offered a job at the Night Spot as an electrician.
Ray has since moved in, and within the first week of being there has been hospitalised twice. He is currently thinking of taking up residence elsewhere.
