A gifted scientist from an early age Dr Adler studied long and hard in various universities in the area surrounding Paragon City. After he graduated with full honours and a doctorate in Theoretical Gravitational Physics he was approached by the renowned geneticist Professor Solomon Abel. Abel had privately funded a research organisation and built an advanced research and development laboratory named the Eastwood Clinic. Due to the possibly hazardous experiments in scientific research that Abel and his organisation were to investigate the Clinic was built on one of the islands off the coast of Paragon City.
Unknown to Adler the Eastwood Clinic was a subsidiary of a much larger clandestine multinational criminal syndicate known as FEAR (Federation of Espionage, Assassination and Revolution) and his benefactor Professor Abel was really the villainous mastermind Doc Macabre. The Clinic was created for illegal 'power brokering' services it's mission to investigate and create super powered operatives to swell it's ranks. These individuals would then be employed in expanding FEAR's illicit activities and preventing super hero involvement in organised crime.
Adler's area of expertise was gravitational metaphysics and his particular position within Eastwood was to develop a primitive form of teleportation. The result of his experiments if they proved successful was to install teleportation devices in various localities around the world. Thus enabling instant transfer of medical goods and foodstuffs to places that were in dire need of them.
He became obsessed with his research so much so he moved into quarters within the Clinic to be closer to his work. A nine to five career eventually became a way of life and before long he was losing sleep as he constantly worked on new formulae, mathematical calculations and practical experimentation. It was inevitable that he would step on someone's toes as he demanded more and more funding as his final triumph seemed ever more closer. Senior management began to see the benefits that Adler's new gravitational theories might offer.
Adler's Laws as they were labelled by the scientific community could conceivably be employed for all manner of uses. But he was stubborn to share these with his fraternity, unhappy with their possible applications or that they might fall into the wrong hands. Abel decided secretly that these new gravitational hypotheses should be made available to FEAR and knew all very well that Adler would not part with them. Recruiting some of the syndicates hired muscle he planned a little 'accident' for Adler and would then take his research.
Working late one evening as usual Adler began to run a practical experiment in a colleagues laboratory. He would for the first time successfully teleport a bowl of fruit from one displacement device to another situated in the next lab. At the same time a pair of masked thugs approached the room across the rooftop and entered through a skylight. One of the hoods was to download Adler's data to microdisk while the other sabotaged one of the teleportation devices the plan, to cause an overload that would kill the unfortunate physicist. The operation was meticulously organised and went according to plan. With one fatal flaw - the lab was also being used for experiments in particle acceleration. The accelerators themselves had only recently been shutdown and they were leaking normally passive graviton particles into the air.
The overload in the equipment in turn caused the nearby particle accelerators to explode. Adler's molecules were intermingled with the sub-atomic graviton particles being emitted by the accelerators. Recovering several days later he found he could manipulate gravitons by sheer force of will. Swearing from that day onward Dr Benjamin Adler alias Dr Graviton would stop at nothing to bring those responsible to justice and has targeted organised crime and especially FEAR ever since.

An excellent read!

"And in this moment, I will not run.
It is my place to stand.
We few shall carry hope
Within our bloodied hands."
