Sleepwalker is a guardian of the Mindscape, a dimension that borders on the minds of all intelligent life. He is a member of the Sleepwalkers, dream police who apprehend any beings that invade the sleeping minds of humans. As a result of being tricked by fellow Sleepwalker Cobweb, he ended up being trapped in the mind of New York college student Rick Sheridan, who decided to become a Sleepwalker himself & help mankind by getting rid of their nightmares.

Sleepwalker reappeared before Rick after his return from helping Doctor Strange defeat Nightmare.

Biography[]

Origin[]

Trapped in Rick Sheridan's Mind[]

One night, Sleepwalker was tricked by a fellow Sleepwalker known as Cobweb into entering the mind of Rick while he was sleeping & became trapped.

After a few confrontations in Rick's dreams, Rick reacted by tearing off Sleepwalker's Imaginator (a badge-like device worn by Sleepwalkers used to teleport around their home plane, the Mindscape). Without his Imaginator, Sleepwalker disintegrated & seemingly perished in front of Rick.

Rick awoke from his sleep to find the Imaginator in his hand. Guilt-stricken & wishing to make it up to Sleepwalker, Sheridan took the Imaginator as his own & became a Sleepwalker himself, taking it upon himself to help mankind by getting rid of their nightmares.

Confronting Rick Sheridan[]

"You didn’t really think I was gone, did you?"
"I-I thought I killed you!"
"No, Richard... I've been trapped in that mind of yours since then."
―Sleepwalker & Rick[src]

While Rick was in the bathroom cleaning his shoe as a result of accidentally stepping on some waste made by his dog Rambo, Sleepwalker started speaking to him in his head, causing Rick to have a headache. Believing it was a migraine, Rick went to the sink & took a couple of ibuprofen. After taking a drink of water, Rick was horrified to see Sleepwalker in his reflection in the mirror. Sleepwalker asked Rick if he really thought he was gone. Realizing Sleepwalker from his dreams, Rick said he thought he killed him when he took his Imaginator, but Sleepwalker simply told him that he had been trapped in his mind ever since then. He then told Rick that Cobweb was still out there & that they needed to stop him. Suddenly, Rick heard Rambo barking & he went into the living room to see what was going on. He was soon shocked to find a portal in the living room. When Rick stepped closer to investigate, he was mysteriously pulled into the portal, with Rambo jumping in after him just before the portal closed.

Personality[]

Powers & Abilities[]

Powers[]

  • Superhuman Strength: Sleepwalker is powerful enough to lift & throw cars. His strength allows him to juggle cars with occupants with one arm. Like with his other abilities, it increases when he absorbs mental energies.
  • Superhuman Durability: Sleepwalker is highly resistant to physical injury. He is capable of withstanding crushing force from a fallen building, grenade blasts, falls from great heights, & powerful energy blasts without sustaining injury.
  • Superhuman Reflexes: Sleepwalker's reflexes are such that he can catch a knife in his fingers & individually warp multiple bullets from an Uzi.
  • Superhuman Stamina: Sleepwalker's body produces no fatigue toxins, granting him almost untiring physical stamina in all activities; his stamina is limited only by how much mental energy he contains. He doesn't need sleep & is immune to attacks that would render him, or take effect when, unconscious. In places that are filled with mental energy like the Mindscape, he has essentially unlimited stamina.
  • Superhuman Vision: Sleepwalker possesses eyes that could see greater than human limits, spotting one unusual vehicle in the city from high in the atmosphere. He can see & track something as small & fast as supersonic bullets; can see & recognize various energies & can track them, including the energies from his own Warp Gaze; can even see otherwise invisible beings like astral projections & spirits. While he can analyze the structure of snow & manipulate air molecules, Sleepwalker may also be able to see at the microscopic level.
  • Warp Gaze: His only offensive power, with this vision-based power, Sleepwalker could alter the shape of physical objects & twist them to his purposes. Sleepwalker initially demonstrated this power by using it to distort a sidewalk to capture a criminal.

He has stated that in the Mindscape, his control is even finer & as sharp as a scalpel.

With the exception of those that nullify his powers, the composition of the materials that he warps makes no difference in the ease that he can warp, freely manipulating both air & reinforced steel equally. He also used this ability once on air molecules to create a wind tunnel for faster aerial travel.

While Sleepwalker can use the Warp Gaze directly on a living being, he has sworn an oath to avoid doing so because of the mental trauma it induces. Exceptions can be made in certain situations such as lethal threats, possession, & on extra-dimensional beings.

When using the Warp Gaze on a possessed person, it acts to force out the possessing entity. It also reveals the true nature & banishes extra-dimensional beings like demons.

  • Flight: Sleepwalker has a flotation-like flight that can let him travel fast enough to chase down a car. He can increase this speed by forming a wind tunnel with his warp gaze.
  • Regenerative Healing Factor: Sleepwalker can heal from practically any injury by absorbing mental energy. He can absorb mental energy whenever he returns to his host or to the Mindscape. This allows him to recover from otherwise fatal injuries such as getting crushed by a wrecking ball & having his throat slashed open.
  • Mental Power Amplifier: As a denizen of the Mindscape Sleepwalker can enhance mental powers from psionics & magic alike by his mere presence.
  • Mental Energy Absorption: By absorbing the energy from mental attacks, he can increase his energy level. He may also absorb it from others' minds & with the use of a Mindrake.

Abilities[]

  • Expert Combatant: Sleepwalker has encountered a multitude of enemies with varying abilities both in Mindscape & Earth. This allows him to react immediately in a dangerous situation & is rarely surprised when encountering unusual enemies. He has used power lines & electric appliances against his enemies. He is also very creative in the use of his Warp Gaze: creating disguises, forming aerial messages, repairing structures, & a tool for psychological warfare.
  • Extra-Dimensional Knowledge: While he is ignorant of many regular matters, he has shown extensive knowledge of the Mindscape & whatever traverses it.
  • Mindscape Weapons Knowledge: Despite not carrying it, he has deep knowledge of weapons such as the Mindrake, knowing that it doesn't kill immediately.
  • Language Assimilation: Whenever Sleepwalker enters the mind of someone who speaks another language, like French or German, he is quick to learn & use that language when conversing with them.

Weaknesses[]

  • Host Dependency:
  • Flight Ceiling: The further he floated from the ground, the weaker he would get. He has even traveled to another planet with no ill effects. As he was surprised when he first discovered this, it can be presumed that this weakness doesn't exist when he is in the Mindscape.
  • Light Addiction (developed later): An addiction to certain types of light from a synthetic diamond. This addiction became so overwhelming that Sleepwalker would fall into a temporary coma.
