Hello fellow Champions..being that this is a thread to show off our Champions and what not..I thought I'd make a thread of my own and introduce all of you to my main Champion. I spent months working on his back story in my head, while waiting for the game to launch. I had wanted to come up with a creative way for him to get his powers...something other than the...was in a chemical explosion story. So I'll post his back story and let all of you be the judge:
One fateful afternoon Heather Dade, nine months pregent, was exiting from a local down town shop when a crazed villain attacked the city. It was none other than Professor Irvin Smithers, who after having his wife not only leave him, but turn around and sue him as well as being fired from his teaching job suddenly snapped. Smithers was well known for his work in robotics, as well as his obessive belief in the theroies expressed in Mary Shelly's Frankenstien as being a possible science.
Using a prototype robotic creation and a special suit that he deveolped, he laid segie to the city. The superhero Greenbird responded to the city's cries for help and engaged Professor Smithers in battle. In the heat of the battle Greenbird accidently punctured a canister on the robot's body causing an explosion that Smithers managed to survive. Though he was quickly placed under arrest by the police. The explosion released a small amount of the raidated gas that had been powering the robot into the air, infecting Heather Dade and knocking her out before evaporating into the air.
Greenbird flew her to the hospital where the doctors quickly gave her and the baby a clean bill of health. Unknown to the doctors, the gas had infected the baby altering portions of its DNA but other wise leaving the baby unharmed. Three weeks later Travis Dade was brought into the world where he met his loving parents, Philp and Heather Dade.
But growing up wasn't exactly a fun experiance for Travis, having been born with an immunodeficiency he speant alot of his child hood fighting off illness after illness. Upon seeing their son forced to often play by himself, since the neighborhood children were too nervous to play with an easily sickened kid, his parents bestowed upon him the nickname Lonestar.
When Travis was 17 he was struck with meningitis, which due to his already weak immune system nearly killed him and caused him to be put in the hospital. Upon recovering from this illness...Travis learned that everything that had made him so frail for most of his life had suddenly vanished. His allergies were entirely gone and he found that he had more energy than he could ever have imagined. On an even stranger note his Immune system had reconsrtucted itself to near super human levels, making him immune to a number of illness and desaises. He also discovered one day that he could suddenly fly and lift objects that normal people could only move in their dreams, quickly realizing that these were the very same powers that the hero Greenbird displayed on many occasions. He also found that he could channel his body's energy into controlled psyhcial blasts of force from his hands and other parts of his body..something that Greenbird could not do.
It was at this time that his mother told him of the incident that she had been in just weeks before his birth, and of how Greenbird picked her up and flew her to the Hospital. Travis came to the conclusion that the gas had altered his DNA and had, at the same time, some how absorbed Greenbird's powers due to his close contact with his mother. But that didn't account for his energy abilities, his mother however added that the last thing she remembered thinking was that she could not allow her baby to die. This was the final peice to the puzzle, some how her will to live must have manifiested itself inside him and evolved into his energy power.
On Travis' 24th birthday Harold Martin, known to the world as Greenbird, retired from his superhero ways to live the rest of his life in peace. It was on this day that Travis realized what his destiny in the world was, and couldn't bare to think of what might happen to the city with out Greenbird to protect it. So Travis made himself a costume, and using the nickname that his parents had given him as a child...rose up as Lonestar, the city's newest protector.
The End.
Sorry for its length...Let me know what you think ^^.

Awesome ^^ good to know all my months of thinking wasn't wasted lol.
Thanks ^^ I felt that his superhero name would have more of an impact if it had a special meaning behind it.
