Hiram Goldberg

Hiram "Slag" Goldberg was an early nova and a probationary member of Team Tomorrow at its founding in 1999. Described as "immensely charismatic," he had the power to manipulate flames and molen metal. When T2M was asked to leave its US base of operations in 2002, Goldberg became a full member of Team Tomorrow Europe.

Goldberg was part of the Team Tomorrow unit sent to Nigeria in 2001 due to elite involvement in the Equitorial Wars, and was killed by Totentanz. This battle resulted in T2M's policy of not engaging enemy novas unless they had a two-to-one advantage in numbers. A cartoon series about Slag apparently continued for several years past his death, and in 2003 his action figure was still among the top ten best-sellers.
