Johann's childhood wasn't as easygoing as his sister's, born with ADHD and Aspergers, the big wide world was often too much to handle for the boy.  His parents knew something was off when their son's first word came when he was three years old, extremely late for any child, his conditions made it hard for him to turn his thoughts into words, which of course made communicating a challenge.  Despite his verbal difficulties, Johann was very intelligent for his age, while the other kids were out filming Tik Toks and playing video games he spent his days designing engineering blueprints of vehicles and robots and building working machines out of household junk.

Johann graduated from high school at the age of 14 and earned a doctorate at the age of 18, MA and Belarus couldn't be prouder of their son's achievements and they supported his eventual decision to leave the nest and travel around the world in search of his calling.  Over the years and all the countries he set up roots in he would always find ways to help those less fortunate souls, like working in homeless shelters in America, replanting the forests in the outback of Australia, delivering life-saving medications to rural villages of Africa, and all the while still studying science and engineering.

When at last he returned home, Johann knew exactly what he wanted to do, he wanted to create technology to help others, and his first step would be becoming his mother's Special entity.  Unlike his cousin Poldara, whose special forces were more focused on national security, Johann focused more on developing technologies and experimenting with power sources.  His company, Monarch Industries, became the most successful technology company in the world thanks to his discovery of a fusion base ionic power cell that he simply dubbed an Infinite Ion Battery, originally wanting to call it an arc reactor but that was already copyrighted by his uncle-in-law America's Marvel company.

Along with everything his company manufactures, the Ion Battery also powers Johann's two personal inventions, a thought translator collar; which allows him to speak without actually talking, and a Wing Suit.  The wing suit was created on the fact that Johann always wanted wings just like his father, cousin, and uncles, so he built his own, allowing him to soar in the air with the rest of his family.

Nowadays, Johann's biggest problem is keeping the secret of his Ionic Batteries out of the wrong hands, as the energy they output can be extremely dangerous under the right conditions, turning them into superweapons.  Many a nuclear country had tried to steal his secret and even lesser military groups have been after it, but Johann takes care in knowing that he has his cousin's secret service and even his sister's assassin gang protecting his life's work.
