The Support Team

The character of Grandpa Dale is based from three prominent male role models I had in my life. They are my Dad Tom, my grandfather Dale (also, obviously named after), and great grandfather Ross (who was also blind). These three taught me so much and leave me with something aspiring to become everyday. Dale Novak may be blind but he doesn't need his eyes to see the person his grandson is or the world around him. Others may have a hard time differentiating between the people Michael and Vince are but Grandpa Dale never does. he is also able to understand the root of the pain that causes Vince to be the bully that he is. he clearly wants to help Vince work past that and to be happy. he is a constant pillar of strength for Michael. He instills in Michael his sense of, loyalty, truth, and knowledge of right and wrong.  

 Reporter Vicki Earnhardt and police chief Thomas Ross (also named for my Dad) represent the connection to the larger world for Michael/Titan. they both are able to judge him as complete outsiders, questioning his motives and his actions. He knows he must make allies out of both to truly be successful in Delta City. the question is will he? he is also able to learn from them as well. We already know from "The Midnight Hour" what he was able to learn  from Vicki and how he was able to benefit. Chief Ross will be a harder sell. In "City Under Siege" the force of Dr. Melodian will pull these two together, but what will happen in the end?
