Steve had been with Navy Intelligence for years. He had not let his mutant ability to cause and control explosions pigeon hole him into a demolitions or black ops crew. He wanted to be known for what he was, not for an ability he had been born with. But then his father died and Hawaii’s governor had offered him a no-red-tape superhero task force. The only reason he had accepted was to find his father’s murderer, he couldn’t trust the haole to do it right. Steve’s call sign had been Kekoa, warrior, for years. He saw no need to change it as he started up the task force.
The first thing he needed was a partner. Then Steve realized that the haole investigating his father’s case was 1, a very good detective, and 2, had a talent (super?) of finding hidden connections. Steve ramrodded Danny Williams onto his team. Danny didn’t have a superhero name and refused every tag Steve tried. Because of Danny’s ability to get things done when no one was watching, Chin and Kono called him Menehune after the legendary little people of the island who built fish ponds and temples after dark. Danny ignored that name too. Steve eventually gave up on that front and called him by his daughter’s nickname, “Danno.”
When Steve discovered that Chin had a special ability, he had to invite him to join the governor’s special task force. Chin could calm any crowd or mob with the force of his will. It was as if his innate calm spread among the masses. Steve called him Mauna (mountain) but Danny called him Deep Waters and that was that. Then they found out that Chin could manipulate computers better than people and they were all happy.
Kono was Kai Keiki, child of saltwater, because the ocean gave her all of its secrets. She was a rookie, but promising. Steve was smug as the task force clear case after case.
