they are long message board posts, but heres some clips..

I dont have an origin story. I am a normal person. I am not a superhero. I am a normal person who had some bad things happen to him. What would resemble a back story is that I was a national champion in tae kwon do in my age group when I was 12. My life was going great until I turned 16 and got my first and only girlfreind Tina who I still love dearly to this day. Tina was gang raped by gang-bangers as she was delivering a pizza at her job (she was just supposed to answer the phone-but one of the gang bangers was the manager who set her up) The beat her basically beyond recognition, she will never look the same. I went crazy and tried to fight all of them but found my skills in Tae Kwon Do were lacking and I too was beaten, broke both my wrists my nose and my eye socket. The gang bangers were convicted but 5 of the 6 were out in six months. I decided there was no justice and I had to leave town so I joined the Marines where I had problems from day one. I did graduate basic and became an infantry man. While in the Marines I encountered my Master Stephen K Hayes and his Quest martial arts centers where I honed my skills like a deadly razor. I then tried out for the Navy SEALS (yes you can be a Marine and try out for the SEALS--you transfer to the Navy at your current rate in you are accepted into Bu/Ds) I failed the psych test and was but under observation for a year then discharged. I continued to study with Stephen K. Hayes until I was a sharp as a razor. Since my grandfather had left me well over 50 million in stocks I decided instead of becoming a playboy and snorting and drinking the money away I would seek my revenge for Tina. I did just that and all 5 that are out (the sixth got a 56 year sentence and when he is eligible for parole I will be there) met with my sharp razor sharp justice. I let one get away to tell the others. I was so good at what I did that this would not be a one time affair, that I could continue to help people and 3 years later that is what I am doing. I still hope to be with Tina one day but she wont speak with me and she has been in and out of institutions since this happened. That is my story.

Again not a very succesful night. I did stop a mugging when a gang-banger (I think he was from the bandidos) tried to steal a purse from a little older woman. While I had him in an arm bar he started crying and I told him to never do bad again because I will be watching. I have no doubt I'll see him again, these criminals never learn. Other than that nothing happened. I am going to bed now.

Nope, this guy needs to take his tin-foil hat off, walk outside, and look at that firey ball in the sky we call the sun.

Borderline entertaining. For such a story, I'd need much more space and time to write it out, providing I even would. Half the point of these superheros are the mystery behind them. Posting on a message board is a rather ineffective way of keeping that mystery. Not to mention with $50 million, I'd be doing more important things with my time.

I always thought it'd be cool to do something like that though, I'd never tell anybody, and it'd probably be more like a Boondock Saints deal.

On a slightly OT note-

sidewayzS13, would you mind resizing you sig so it doesnt take up 3/4s of my screen? Keep the largest dimension no bigger than 400 pixels please.

Carry on.
