Having spent his life in a polluted slums known to the local residents as "Murderden" E strived to escape the dead-end life he knew he'd have.Upon graduating from high school E went on to study at Winchester Community college.It was while working on an essay about the destruction of natural resources E was attacked by a motley crew of henchmen working for a local sanitation company.The company was in the process of dumping toxic wasted materials from Chem Corp. into a small valley and it was E's fortune/misfortune was to have been setting up a camera for some pictures to include in his report.The befoulers thought he was working to reveal their nefarious plans of pollution and immediately abducted E.
The banditos then knocked E unconscious and dumped him into the pit they had dug to conceal the waste and entombed him within the confines of dirt.
Unbeknown to them all this ground was sacred to an ancient tribe as a sanctuary to a long forgotten spirit of nature.
The being,who's name cannot be spoken in modern tongues awakened in E knowledge of the true nature of Man.
"To be one with Nature"
As soon as he realized what was done to him E struggled to escape his entrapment. Fueled by fear and rage E exploded forth from the ground and straight up into the atmosphere.
It was this rage which merged E with the essence of the raw energy of Electricity and bonded him to the cause of eradicating pollution and those to whom the Earth means nothing.
Following the trail of exhaust left by the diesel fuel of the trucks, E found his erstwhile captors engaged in a night of excessive binge drinking.Not even bothering to announce himself he set upon the scum with a fury of electrifying charges which left nothing but a smoking ruins of charred meat.
The unnamed spirit awoked in him a sense of justice and E soon realized that this would be his destiny...to wreak havoc upon any who would despoil our world for their own profit.At the same time E realized that (as a famous fictional character once deduced) "with great power comes great responsibility". He would have to reflect upon himself what his life would mean to himself and the world at large....
