Change[]
John returns his change
Tanner was seen skipping class along with Rouker and needed to talk with Illena and Wenqi. He was then tackled by a masked attacker and was punched in the face numerous times until Rouker intervened by shooting Missiles. Though wounded, Tanner noticed that his attacker was injured and began to gloat. With his Regeneration, Tanner easily undid the wounds the attacker inflicted, but to his horror, the attacker began to regenerate as well. Tanner was even more horrified once the attacker fired a Missile at Rouker, knocking his partner unconscious. However, Tanner charged towards the attacker, only to have his attack blocked, his stomach kneed, and his face punched. He would soon lose consciousness once his attacker fired a missile at point-blank range.[5]
Tanner was mentioned to be one of the school's "strong mid-tiers" who gang up on weaker students and boss them around.[3]
Powers & Abilities[]
Regeneration: Tanner has substantial healing abilities, similar to Elaine. He was shown completely healing his arm after it was broken by John, which shows that his healing factor is potent enough to regenerate broken bones. Furthermore, Tanner's Regeneration appears to be fast-acting, allowing him to re-enter a battle in a matter of seconds. This ability also seems to slightly increase defense and power.
Physical Abilities[]
Tanner is shown to have average hand to hand combat abilities. Without using his ability, he is no match for John(cripple) as was seen when John easily snapped his arm.
Relationships[]

Wenqi[]
Wenqi is close friends with Tanner and enjoys bullying alongside him.
Rouker[]
Rouker is close friends with Tanner and enjoys bullying alongside him. The two are shown skipping classes together. Rouker seems comfortable enough to confide in Tanner that he is not confident in his ability. In addition, Rouker becomes hostile towards anyone who attacks Tanner, although sometimes it is not until Tanner screams at him.
John[]
Like many mid-tiers, he looks down on John for assuming he can't defend himself. He considers John "a leech who feeds off others." He takes advantage of the isolated John once Seraphina is suspended. He even goes as far as attempting to beat the already-beaten John. Tanner is shown to get extremely mad at John when he's in control of a fight.
Eventually, a masked John would attack Tanner out of his revenge and for his ability. It is unknown if he ever found out his attacker's identity.
