The story of Steve II is really the story of the Stupendous Steves so enjoy
________________________________________________
The life of Steve I began in a Crey laboratory. The DNA of an unknown superhero was mutated and combined with the DNA of a mystic from the circle of thorns. He, like the other Steves to follow, was created by evil, for evil...
Steve II was a project of the Fifth Column. A vampyr adjutant was witness to a hero raid on the Crey facility where Steve I had been created. Seizing the opportunity, he snuck in and stole the original superhero DNA. The Fifth Column then cloned their own Steve - an exact duplicate of the original!
After the Fifth column made Steve II, they decided to experiment by implanting the next clone, Steve III, with nanno technology. Doing this made him less resistant to many forms of attacks, but made his damage output much greater than those before him.
The ultimate weapons had been created, but could they be contained...?
With fists of fury, tricks of the mind, and a sniper eye like no other, the Steves were a force to be feared. They did the bidding of their tyrant masters until one day they learned the truth about their origins...
They learned of the hero, Steve, who fought along side such greats as Statesman and Manticore. They learned how he died in battle during the Rikti invasion. How his blood was taken from his body by the mad scientists of the Crey. The same blood that now rushes through their veins. Blood that stood for honor and truth...
And that now was being used to fuel the evil empire of Lord Recluse!!!
Then and there the three Steves vowed to never use their powers for evil again. They started out by seeking out those who were in league with Lord Recluse...one by one. Their quest for justice is not over, and never will be, for evil will forever lurk around every corner.
Rest assured that the Stupendous Steves will continue to fight the good fight to make Paragon City a safe place to call home.
****Steve V came later****
The Circle of Thorns, having heard rumors about the acquisition of superhero DNA, planted a mole within the Fifth Column who was able to steal a sample of this DNA without their knowledge. This sample was infused into a human embryo and subjected to bizzare occult ceremonies, in the hopes of giving their new creation not only superhuman abilities, but the control of magical energies as well.
Their experiments turned out to be a success. Not only did this being possess superhuman abilities, but he also was able to control the forces of the earth and project magical energy fields.
Steve I, II, and III learned of this scheme via the Paragon City underground and liberated this new being from the clutches of the Circle of Thorns. He was told about his origins and agreed to join The Stupendous Steves to punish those who created him in evil intent. He was given the the title Steve V.
Unfortunately on May 30th 2005, Steve V was recaptured by the the Circle of Thorns after falling in battle and is being held in one of their numerous underground bases. It's suspected that he may be subject to brainwashing by the COT in order to revert him to evil. The Stupendous Steves have searched for this secret base for months with no success or even any leads, but they continue their search nonetheless.
****Update about Steve V****
Steve V recently reappeared in Paragon City. Unfortunately his memory of the last few years seems to be missing. The Steves hope that something can be done so they can uncover what happened to their brother.
