Hey guys, just thought i'd put up the little back story i wrote on Deluge's attainment of power. Hope you like it, as there will be more to come, involving the many versions of Deluge that have suddenly appeared....
Deluge was born Ethan Locke, early February 1982. He went through his childhood as any ordinary boy would, living his life to its fullest. After working his way through the education system, he finally won over a scholarship for the Massachusetts Insititute for Technology at the age of 19, being the youngest to ever do so. Keen on his work to make a clean, permanent power source for the entire world, he inlisted some of the worlds best minds to help run an experiment that dealt with a new kind of kinetic energy system that had been found during the Rikti invasion.
As expected the results were phenominal, the kinetic reactor produced the estimated outputs, and climbed to ten times what they had expected. As this was an unexpected turn of events, they had not deployed all safety countermeasures and the kinetic core became unstable. Ethan feverishly tried to hold containment on the reactor whilst getting all personell clear of the site, as he did not want his experiment to cost innocent lives.
In a last ditch effort to hold the containment, Ethan realised the only way to shut the reactor down was to stop the kinetic movement of the core. He entered the room wearing a special suit, modified from Rikti battle armour, and tried to manually stop the reaction. After much fighting with the computer systems and containment grids, he realised the only way to stop the critical mass from breaching was to disrupt the kinetic core with his own body, hoping that the containment suit would be enough to slow it down.
And he was right...
As Ethan plunged into the core, battling the intense forces that were ripping away at his body, he felt the energy levels dropping, slowing down the reaction. As he passed out into darkness, the core went into a localised supernova, bonding Ethans body with the containment suit, burning away all dispensible materials on both the suit and his body, filling the space with pure energy.
When Ethan finally came to his senses, he realised something was wrong. He could feel everything around him, as an enervating field, coming from the Earth's core. He found that the explosion had imbued him with the power to control the energy of everything around him, including the force of the Earth itself. As he worked himself from the rubble, he ran into a special Arachnos Strike Force, that had been sent to clear up the survivors of the disaster. The Strike Force tried to subdue Ethan, but he over-whelmed them with his raw power, sending his own body into a supernova, stopping almost everyone around him. The sole survior explained to Ethan that they sabotaged the containment field prior to the experiment under the orders of Lord Arachnos.
Ethan vowed to overcome Arachnos and make him pay for his injustices against the free world. So he travelled to Paragon City, knowing it under the guise of 'The Birth Place of Heroes', to put together a like-minded team dedicated to wiping out injustice and the fall of Lord Arachnos. This is when he joined the Precision Rangers, a supergroup that was totally dedicated to wiping out the criminal element in the city.
The fight carries on today.........

Always like hearing where my fellow Rangers come from. Thanks .
