Dr. Otaki

Dr. Otaki

When Jason and Mick moved into their new apartment, one of the first neighbors they met was Dr. Otaki, an eccentric, retired scientist.

Dr. Otaki lives on the same floor as Jason and Mick. She enjoys keeping in touch with her Japanese heritage and her former profession - physics. While friendly, she is impatient and doesn't have the best grasp of how to relate to others.

After Jason's encounter with The Pionic Man, he returned to his apartment and collapsed on the floor before closing his front door. While unconscious, he turned into Firestorm. Dr. Otaki, coming to offer her neighbors some brownies, found Firestorm on the floor. She watched over him while he lay unconscious for several hours.

When Jason awoke, he found that his secret had been discovered, but found that Dr. Otaki was someone who was uniquely suited to help with her wise advice. Expect Dr. Otaki to serve as a friend and advisor to both Jason and Firestorm.
