Michael Reillys powers have caused him trouble throughout his life. He and his twin brother Shawn were born with the same powers. In a strange twist of fate anytime the two bother made skin to skin contact they would fall into a coma.
The brothers managed to deal with this issue until one day while they were in high school. Michael got into a fight with one of the school bullies. Michael was hold back because he didnt want to use his powers to hurt his opponent. Shawn saw his brother fighting and ran over to see if he could somehow break up the fight. The bully got a good shot in of Michael knocking him backwards where he accidentally crashed into his brother. Skin to skin contact was made and both brothers fell into a deep coma.
Michael was in a coma for two weeks. Shawn however was in a coma for three months. This was particularly tough since they were part of a family that was very close, and didnt have a lot of money. A month into Shawn coma the hospital told the Reilly family that they were going to have to shut of the life support machines he was on due to the cost involved.
This drew Michael over the edge. Knowing that his family desperately needed money he teamed up with an old friend who was also a mutant. His friend Robert Evanish took the code name Boulder do to his ability to control the Earth while Michael took Super to kind of make himself a spoof of Superman.
The two mutants managed to rob a bank, but because of the inexperience in crime, the police were quickly on the trail. Knowing what was as stake Robert turned himself in, taking all of the blame and allowing Michael to get away.
Michael managed to make it home with enough money, but he felt horrible about what happened to his friend. He withdrew from everyone and started to act very strange. Within a few months his family entered him into a mental institution.
Two years later Michael was released from the Mental Institution with a clean bill of health. He spent a few years work various jobs, having trouble holding down a single job. Finally a job came along that was suited for him. He was asked to join the Governments Mutant Control Program.
Michael quickly joined the team when he found out that his bother was also a member. He was shocked when he was actually chosen to be the teams leader. Michael accepted and one again took up the code name Super.
Ashton Manchester, the man behind the Mutant Control Program knew what he was dealing with. His goal was to use the program for his own purposes, and knew how close Michael and Shawn were. On the teams first mission, Ashton sent only half of the team, leaving Shawn as one of the team members left behind. Ashton had another member of the team, a mutant named Rock whose powers are to turn anything into pure stone, to transform him into a solid statue.
Upon returning from the mission and finding out what happened the other members of the team were ready to attack Ashton. Ashton told them that he had the only thing that could return Shawn back to normal, and he would only even consider doing it if they all worked for him without question.
Nearly a year later after a few roster changes, Ashton was killed when an attack was launched on the teams base. No one else knew how to turn his brother back to normal, and Super once again went insane. This time he attacked a train full of innocent people. He was stopped by the rest of the team, but with a cost. A villain took advantage of this battle capturing another member of the team.
The team put Super back into a mental institution after the battle. He remained there for a few months before he mysteriously disappeared. It was nearly two years before he was seen again, as he helped MCT in a major battle. He then rejoined the team staying with them until the team completely disbanded a few years later. He has made his way to Paragon City after hearing that a number of his past teammates have made their way there...
