Midnightist

Origin

Peter Rest was born with the ability to predict the future. He would often see terrible things before they happened and he would often try and find ways to prevent the terrible things he saw from coming true. However because he was still just as physically human and so young he really couldn’t do much as people would never believe him until something bad happened.  At age 14 he became depressed and then drifted into insanity due to what he saw. He was soon sent into a mental institution where he spent a great amount of time getting worse instead of better as he began to see even more and more terrible things, but despite them coming true he was just given more drugs and ignored as no one thought he could see the future. However one nurse Tina Kincaid at the institution harbored feeling for him despite being 19  and was able to realize that the things he would say would come true. She tried contacting different law enforcement agencies, but would be treated no better than Peter. However one day a man named Kevin Roberts showed up ordering his release and took him to an office building. He revealed that he was part of an organization that for years had been keeping track of secret bloodline of people who were unique and different from the main population. Many members of the bloodline would have different enhanced abilities such as increased strength, invincibility, telepathy, and teleportation. Etc and over the years they would be confused. He was told that his powers were believed to have originated from one enhanced human with powers similar but greater than all those after him. What eventually happened to him has been forgotten, but it is believed that at some point he mated with a normal human and produced a diluted form of the originals over the years it is believed to have become more and more diluted as the members of the bloodline reproduced with normal humans till it became more of a recessive trait with each person only gaining a small portion of their true power, but he believed that the full power is suppressed in each person but possibly accessible. Kevin had much experience in super heroics and he believed that his people could use different treatments to awaken his powers. Peter was ecstatic he finally had the chance to make his nightmares go away and solve the problems that had once driven him insane. They soon began exposing to different types of proteins and chemicals, which they hoped with, release some dormant powers. In time his physic powers were becoming far stronger and his physical powers were growing to. However Roberts and the organization would become more and more secretive. He soon used his psychic powers to discover that the company wanted him to help them take control parts of the world and increase their own power and monopoly and Peter was a tool they intended to use to get that. He attempted to escape, but Kevin stopped him and pushed his next improvement ahead of schedule. He intends to add cybernetic enhancements to help control Peter. Peter would go on to becoming an assassin and living weapon for the company for 5 years. Over the years he had been improved even further and more powers were either add or released and he had been code named Midnightist by his superiors more as a joke than a true code name. His next assignment however came in an assassination. He was supposed to Tina as she had become an investigative reporter after his capture into the company and had spent years trying to find him and expose the company’s true agenda she had finally gained enough information to prove her finding and they wanted her dead. They sent Midnightist however his memories and personality had began to emerge and he couldn’t kill her. He returned to base were he was painfully examined for whatever caused his implants to malfunction. Soon after more work he was sent again, but Tina having realized whom he was even more influential to him and he fought back and destroyed the implant controlling him. The two of them went into hiding and she intended to use him as even further proof of the company, but he believed that would never be a truly powerful deterrent as they could easily come up with some type of cover or kill her with another assassin. He decided that he needed to destroy the company resources first put them in a position were they could not retaliate first then finish them off and he felt the best way to do this was to attack the base head on. He gathered his weapons and built new ways and stormed the building he beat his way past any and all of the agents until only Kevin was left. He intended to kill Kevin, but he revealed that he had an emergency pain-inducing device that he had planted near Midnightist heart. Midnightist was thriving in pain as Kevin decided to kill him and use his body as a map to either clone him or start over with a new subject. However before he could Midnightist pulled out a knife and stabbed himself in the heart then collapsed. Kevin was confused but didn’t really care he began to pack his things to escape, but then Midnightist revealed he had not died. He used the blade to destroy his heart implants and allow his healing factor to regenerate his heart in his panic Kevin had missed that option however he was still able to escape using an emergency teleporter he had ready. Despite not getting Roberts Midnightist had done a great deal of damage to the company and was some what satisfied. Midnightist soon decided to use his talents to fight all kinds of evil and do some good to make up for what had happened to him.
