Part One: The Origins ChapterOne: Rage

Name: Roman Ramos
Powers: Super strength and speed, teleportation, and heightened senses.

Roman Ramos was born August 8, 1998 to Elijah Ramos, an alien in disguise, and Serenity Ramos, a human. Because of his parents Roman is a hybrid, half alien and half human. They had to keep this a family secret so the government won't go after them. Roman is a tall and extremely muscular. His chocolate brown skin shines in the light, as his luscious light brown hair flows through the wind, and his charming, green eyes glistens in the sun. Growing up, Roman was extremely athletic. He was as strong as an ox, as fast as a cheetah, observant, and skillful. Since Roman is a hybrid he hasn't found his powers yet. His father told him that his powers lie deep within him, he just has to find the key to unlock them.

Throughout his childhood he played several sports because of his talents such as; football, wrestling, track and field, and boxing. He also trained in Muy Thai, MMA, Ju Jitsu, and Karate. Roman was always a fighter, but never had the need to get in any fights because everyone loved him. This gifted child is a star in everything he does in and out of school, and education always came first.

One night, sixteen year old Roman was laying on his soft, TemperPedic king-sized bed while the sound of dubstep plays through his ears, flowing through all the nerves in his brain. As this is happening he sees an abnormally, bright flash of light coming from the cracks of his door. Out of curiosity, he quietly walks to his door trying not to make the slightest sound, but the floor is creaking under every tippy-toed step he takes. As he reaches the door he puts his hand on the knob and twists it as slowly and quietly as he can. The door makes a screeching sound as he opens it, but no one notices it. He walks out the door and looks over his balcony. What he sees is horrific. Downstairs he sees three tall, muscular men all dressed in black from head to toe standing in a circle communicating. They look like shadows. As Roman looks slightly to the left he sees his parent's lifeless bodies lying on the floor cover in an abundance of blood. Roman becomes furious and he immediately leaps over the balcony to trample the three shadow-like men. But as he is midway in the air the three men look up and vanish in thin air. With his catlike reflexes he lands on his feet right next to his parents. As he lands, the floor cracks under his feet. He looks down sees a piece of crumbled up paper. Roman leans over too pick it up. While he is unraveling the paper he wipes the tears of his face so he can read it. He sees that there is a list of five names crossed off, and Elijah Ramos was the last name on the paper. Roman falls on his knees and let's out an ear-piercing yell. During the length of the yell he feels all this power rushing through his veins like lightning. His luscious brown hair is turning into a shiny, metallic silver color, and that once chocolate brown skin is now chrome-like color and it is as hard as steel. With the jolt of power he stops and looks at his lifeless father on the floor covered in blood.

He has a flashback of his father telling him that there is a key that will unlock his powers. The key to unlocking his powers is rage, arising from within him, as he stares teary-eyed while his parents lie there dead. Roman observes what is happening to him and he wholeheartedly decides he is going to hunt down the people who did this to his family. But first he must find out why this happened and who else it involves. As he calms down, his skin and hair go back to normal. He then realizes what this means. From then on that innocent teenager boy Roman Ramos becomes Rage, a furious man who will stop at nothing to avenge his parent's death.
