Sonar, real name Victor, is a character in Dispatch.

He was a villain until participating in the Phoenix Program. As a part of the program, Sonar is now a hero working for the SDN under Robert Robertson. Criminal Career Sonar attended Harvard University, and after graduating, he went into crime. He orchestrated some of the most effective Silicon Valley investment frauds in US history. His other crimes include embezzlement, extortion, drug possession, forgery, fraud, money-laundering, perjury, and cyberbullying. During this period, he also became addicted to a variety of controlled substances.

Joining Superhero Dispatch Network At some point in time, Sonar was convicted and incarcerated at California State Prison in Los Angeles County, before he was identified as an ideal candidate by SDN for their experimental Phoenix Program. His custody was then transferred to the Torrance branch in California HQ, under conditional probation after several financial negotiations.

He was assigned to the Z-Team, managed by Blonde Blazer, and began his career working as a fully instated superhero, with his activities monitored and regulated as per the ruling by the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s office.

It seems prior to Robert joining SDN Sonar began attempting to break into Torrance SDN employees' accounts[3] spamming employees' emails[4] and even somehow adding an option to enter into the new subscriber extension for the Torrance branch's automated phoneline[5] to fund his latest crypto scheme: a blockchain investment called "Screech Coin."

One of his unfortunate victims whose account he was able to take control of and reroute his pay checks into "Screech Coin" was Jack from the accounting department, who seemly brought the whole scheme to light and caused "Screech Coin" to be shut down. This caused Jack to call the recently hired HR representative from corporate, Veronica, and telling her that if he somehow went missing, she should investigate Sonar first.[6]

Joining the Red Ring If the player chooses to fire Sonar, he will be recruited by Shroud to get revenge. When Blonde Blazer confronts Shroud, Sonar would be there and make fart noises before Shroud silences him by hitting him with the butt of his gun.

Sonar would join the rest of the Red Ring in causing havoc all across the city before storming the SDN to get the astral pulse from Mecha Man.

Sonar would ultimately be defeated by the combined effort of Mecha Man and Blonde Blazer. He would then be arrested, where the player would be given the option to let him be imprisoned or give him another chance.

If the player chooses to not give him another chance, he will be taken to be imprisoned. If the player chooses to give him another chance, he will be released back into the custody of the Phoenix Program.

Appearance In his hybrid form, Sonar possesses a tall human body with white skin, but the head of a bat with sharp fangs, large ears, and pure white eyes. He has fluffy gray fur and a pink snout. He often wears a navy-blue suit with a red tie and black dress pants.

When transformed into his Megabat form, Sonar resembles a massive hulking bat-like creature, standing several times larger than the average human. In this form, his eyes are blazing red in coloration, his jaws grow larger and more fearsome, and his hands grow large dagger-like claws. Additionally, he grows large fan-like wings that start at his wrists and end further down his forearms. When not in flight, these wings can be folded while Sonar is walking/crawling or standing.

Personality On a surface level, Sonar is arrogant; he takes a lot of pride in that he is a Harvard graduate and, according to his colleagues, cannot stop talking about this fact. He is also aloof. When he fails missions, he claims he wasn't trying as hard. Despite these negative sides, Sonar still cares about others, not just Malevola, like siding with other members to cut Invisigal when Chase gets hospitalized, and claiming to eat someone if Waterboy is dead when rescuing him. Additionally, he knows when to drop his ego, such as thanking Robert for keeping him in the Z-Team despite it being hard to voice out.

Sonar seems to also take rehabilitation at the SDN to heart. When cut from the team, as opposed to Coupé whose initial reaction is anger, Sonar is confused. He takes this as an act of betrayal and allows himself to get recruited by Shroud to fight against the Z-Team and be on the "Me-Team."

Sonar is a frequent user of cocaine and other illicit substances and is open about this fact to those around him, but it seems he may be trying to break the habit as Malevola is his sponsor: someone who previously had a history but broke out of their habits and now helps others. Sonar is a big fan of Willem Vanderstenk, the CEO of VAND-CO, who is considered a certified financial genius,

Sonar fails to understand jokes, when Robert Robertson introduces himself just for his team to laugh at his name, which Sonar starts repeating "Robert Robertson" to attempt to comprehend what's funny about Robert's full name.

As a result of his Chiropteran physiology, Sonar enjoys eating insects and small mammals such as rats, though he is also capable of eating human food like Twinkies and tacos. He occasionally needs to scream to identify his surroundings via echolocation, and according to Coupé, frequently relieves himself in the parking lot of the Superhero Dispatch Network headquarters.

Powers and Abilities Powers Megabat Physiology: While Sonar possesses bat-like features in his default state, he can further transform into a giant, monstrous bat, though he is unable to control when. He also transforms automatically after returning from a mission and surprisingly retains his sanity when in that form. Echolocation: Sonar has been shown to scream periodically to identify his surroundings, implying that he has bat-like capabilities of echolocation. Sonic Scream: Sonar can scream at objects that can be easily destroyed by it. Flight: Gaining wings in his Megabat form, Sonar becomes capable of flight. Combatant: Especially in his Megabat form, Sonar uses his sharp teeth, dagger-like claws, and pure primal strength to effortlessly overwhelm opponents in battle. Superhuman Strength: Sonar possesses some degree of strength, capable of holding his own against Mecha Man and harm Blonde Blazer. Superhuman Durability: Sonar has tremendous durability, he is able to take blows from Mecha Man and Blonde Blazer as well getting slashed in the eye. Former Powers Energy Beam Emission: After being augmented by Shroud, Sonar can project high-concentration red energy beam. It is strong enough to contend against Blonde Blazer's beam. Sonar is inspired by Man-Bat from DC Comics, who is a geneticist who experimented on himself and became a human-bat hybrid monster. His name is a direct reference to sonar, a technology that acts similarly to a bat's natural echolocation ability by using sound to locate objects. According to his red flags, he may have rabies. He is a crypto bro. Sonar is close friends with Malevola, and when sent on a dispatch together, their synergy increases. He enjoys eating cockroaches and other insects as he deliberately picked out live cockroaches from a nearby garbage can and placed them in his 3 a.m. tacos much to Prism's shock and disgust. He's also shown placing rats in a microwave to eat. He claims to be a "high-ranking Vanderstenker", telling Robert so when Willem Vanderstenk requires a security detail in the 1st Dispatch Victor Aliases Batboy Conman Batboner (by Robert Robertson) The Batguy Bat Boy (by Coupé) Affiliation Phoenix Program (determinant) Red Ring (determinant) Occupation Criminal (determinant) Hero (determinant) Likes: Cocaine, Malevola, Boobs, Twinkies Dislikes: Coupé (determinant) Biographical information Age 32 Date of birth 05-27-1991[1] or 11/08/1991 Place of birth San Francisco, CA Physical information Species Human/bat hybrid Gender Male Height 6'0 Weight 171 lbs Hair color Gray Eye color White
