Has consistently been portrayed as one of the founding members of the team, and has remained a member for its whole existence.
Personality
Seemingly shallow, though with hidden depths. Something of a surfer dude.

Appearance
Wears a pair of swim trunks with a colorful picture of palm trees and girls in bikinis playing beach volleyball, sandals, and sunglasses. "CK" is written in zinc oxide on his chest.
Relationships
He has a father, Hal E. Foryna, a congressman; a mother, Sally Fornya, an actress; a sister, Mallory Fornya, an activist; and a family dog, Skipper.
