Biography
Adrian Keys was born a normal child to an upper class family in New York city. However as he grew it became more and more evident that Adrian was not a normal child. His physical ability was well beyond that of the other children his age and by the time he was a teenager it was freakishly so. By the time he was twenty he could, with a bit of effort, lift a compact car over his head, outrun most motor vehicles and began needing less and less sleep.
Adrian was also very smart, testing at the top of his class all throughout high school. All of this, of course, made Adrian an arrogant guy and eventually made his very proud parents very nervous. At the time mutant prejudice was at a high and Adrian's parents were no exception. They had Adrian tested for the X gene that was the cause for mutation. All tests came back negative but the damage had been done. Despite his parents attempts at reconciliation Adrian felt like an outsider in his own home until he left for college.
College is where Adrian learned that charm could get him places that his physical abilities and intellect sometimes could not. He kept his abilities a secret through these years choosing to hone his powers to manipulate through deceit and cunning. He began studying political science, law and economics believing that these skills would serve him better in the real world than being able to toss a car a few hundred feet would.
Adrian joined the Harvard alumni with honors at the age of twenty-two. His parents attended the ceremony, both ecstatic to see their son doing so well but by then Adrian had all but forgotten them. He had his eyes set on a seat in the senate and nothing was going to slow him down, least of all a pair of bigamous parents.
Adrian worked night and day no longer needing sleep at all. He took a wife to keep the appearance of family man for public relations purposes. He kept noticing marked increases to his strength and speed. It had been a long time since he had paid any attention to his unusual abilities believing still that they were a thing best forgotten.
It was during a lunchtime meeting on the patio of an Italian restaurant that Adrian would unintentionally reveal his secret to the New York public. A bus came barreling down the street towards the populated area where he and his associates were seated. All anyone could do was watch in horror as the bus crashed through cars, over the sidewalk and... stopped in midair, caught by Adrian who then flew the vehicle a safe distance and landed it gently to the street.
Adrian's associates were shocked as were the bystanders involved. Indeed Adrian himself was shocked. Flight! When had this developed? Adrian was sure that he was ruined. But in fact it had the opposite effect. He was celebrated as a hero. The city of New York was honored that one of it's own senators was a man of such selfless character and Adrian had a very powerful tool for winning votes.
Adrian is now in his late fifties and continues to become stronger faster and more durable with age. There is still no explanation for his incredible gifts and that's just how the public wants it to be. With more praise came a larger ego and Adrian has become self obsessed. Being neither mutant nor mutagenic, Adrian has become convinced that he is the next Adam. The father of the new world. A perfect world that he will mold with his own hands and damn anyone or anything that stands in his way.
