Marcus Wilburn

[justice]

Marcus was a promising young man, he was rasied in a well to do New York family that keep him in private school. He was smart and had a "passion" for learning. While attending NYU Marcus began studing genetics and especially the phenomeon know as "mutant." He was amazed at the capablilty of these "human beings" they where the next step in human evolution. He was very consumed by this work as was his college Jeffery Madison. The two work together on their doctoral thesis for eight years, they named their project "Next Step." To prove that the human body is a gentic canvas that can be painted with remarkable powers. Many people opposed the research so they recieved little popularity for their genuis, and where forced to practice their expariment in secret. The two had a zealous fever to complete their work and grant themselves powers. Marcus made a breakthrough with a genetic therapy treatment that carried gamma energy select chromesomes. Naturally he wanted to test it and it seemed to work on rabbits. So The first human test subject must naturally be Jeffery. Jeffery's willingness to participate is still subject to question. According to police reports Marcus was the source of a distubance call the came in from campus secuirty. Marcus was found in their lab unconscience and drugged heavily and roughed up. They also found the dead body of Jeffery Madison. According to Marcus, Jeffery went "mad" after taking the serum and attacked him. His only defense was to kill him. Marcus was arested and black balled in the science comunity. His crazy expariments on people to make them mutants is still a horror story that set back the mutant movment. Marcus was held in jail for a short time, he seemingly disappeared and then surfaced in Europe under the name Harold Jefferson. He was different, he had advanced himself through the use of his own drug, he had awesome mental power. He travelled through Europe with two other super beings acting as a detective group. He has since returned to America buying a secluted lab under an assumed name. His famliy has no contact with him and he would prefer to stay alone in his lab and study the continuing effect that his gene therapy has had on him. He has recently lost the need to eat or drink and with continueing treatment he realises that he has greater purpose, to prove that powers are a natural advancment not a freakish off shoot to humaity. He helps super powered being gain the reputable name he can never have.

Interesting character background and the reason for his powers as well.Nice bit with scientist experiments on himself part.Also the fact that you didn't try to make him a High Evolutionary ripoff helps. ;D
