I am not a writer so please be gentle. I just thought I would share my origin story with you all and see how you like it.
----------
Ever wonder if there is life after death? Well I can honestly tell you that there is, but only if you are a hero in Paragon City. How do I know? Cause Ive died, twice. I dont remember my first death or the life that proceeded it but I vividly recall my second death and the events leading up to it.
System status report, Project Revenant Hero, test subject RH-9568. Phase one cloning and phase two forced maturation are successful, we have begun phase three basic neural logical conditioning in preparation for phase four advanced memory implantation and phase five loyalty conditioning. Subject RH-9568s advanced regenerative capabilities make it a perfect subject for modification. Note: secondary genetic manipulation will be required as subject lacks offensive capabilities, suggest either claw or spine based modifications.
ALERT! ALERT! Intruders in section Gamma! All security personal report to section Gamma!
Sound of door being smashed in, What? Who are you? You dont work for Crey! three gun shots then screams and the sound of breaking glass.
That was the last journal entry of Dr. Jovanavich. He was leading one of Creys secret Revenant Hero labs over in Creys Folly when the lab was attacked. We sent in a security team as soon as we lost contact, but we were too late. All members of both the security and research teams were lost along with twelve test subjects. According to computer logs, subject RH-9568 was removed from its growth chamber by the intruders, but not before the system was able to deliver the termination command. Analysis of security logs shows that the lab was infiltrated by a Malta assault force. As the Malta were unable to retrieve a viable subject, it is recommended that stepped up surveillance of Malta activities be instituted. Signed Security Chief Baker, code A33405234. End report.
All right bring her in. Put her up on the table. Now get out of my way, the longer you delay me the harder this will be to do.
Man doc, this ones a hottie. Look at them long legs.
Hey dude! Shes dead, thats sick!

.
Will the both of you shut the HELL UP! Im trying to work here.
Computer, begin recording, beep. Subject is female, height six feet 9 inches, weight 185 pounds, hair baby blue along with eyes. Preliminary scans show no cardio pulmonary or cerebral activity. Subjects time of death was approximately 35 minutes ago, subject has been in cryo stasis for 30 minutes.
Computer, inject 200 ccs of nano-meds and start electro cardio stimulation. Report when dispersal reaches 95%.
Doctor, nano-meds report 96.4% dispersal.
Excellent, begin microwave energy emission and instruct the nano-meds to begin cellular repair.
Estimated repair time, 12.34 minutes. 12.34 minutes later, Repairs completed, cardio pulmonary and cerebral activity are within normal ranges. Electro cardio stimulation has been stopped along with microwave energy emission.
Very well, load the subject into the cybernetic surgery unit and run operation Death Stryke.
Estimated completion of operation Death Stryke is 18.5 hours.
Notify me one hour before completion. I must report to Theta Red Viper and the Lady of Blades.
M.A.G.I report # 5434-4452-9238
Agent Death Wreck, I.D. # 3249-243-50
The above transcript is from a voice log found on a computer during a raid on a Malta lab on 2/14/2004. Death Wreck was able to capture nearly three dozen Malta agents including one of their top bosses, Theta Red Viper. Also a single unidentified female was rescued with aid from Professor Jonathan St. John-Smythe of S.E.R.A.P.H. The woman was found in a Malta cybernetic surgery unit. Analysis by Prof. St. John-Smythe shows that the woman has gone through extensive cybernetic replacement surgery and that the only reason she is still alive is that she possess a remarkable regeneration rate. No records were discovered as to the identity of the woman. Initial reports indicated that the woman was suffering from a form of retrograde amnesia but further examination shows that the woman actually possess no memories, she does appear to have been programmed with basic skills and knowledge. Questioning leads us to believe that this woman was part of the Revenant Hero project. Even though it was believed that this project was shut down, other labs may still be operation.
The woman has assumed the name Death Stryke and is being sponsored by Death Wreck.
