When Mike was younger he felt different. Somewhere in his mind, he'd always known that his future wouldn't be like the other kids he went to school with. They didn't have much money when he grew up, this was one of the many reasons why he got bullied. Mike decided he couldn't just sit there and let it happen like he was helpless. Which in fact, he was. After struggling for a long time he found a way to make his own money. He becomes popular, something he never was before. Maybe it's not the most legal way, but it works just fine for him.
