The year was 1923 and the 18th Amendment had just passed a few years before this thus banning alcohol this lead to an age of organised crime. Christopher Dough was an underground boxer who was the associate of a gang known as 'The Limbo Gang' this gang was as ordinary as any other gang during this time. They ran a speakeasy, a sort of illegal bar, they smuggled in alcohol and drugs and they shook down local businesses for protection money however unlike any other gang The Limbo Gang was fully comprised of strange people those born with the ability to use a superpower. This power was unique to them and while there could be similar ones they were never exactly the same and although it is said they were born with this power some don't awaken it until well within there lifetime.
To Christopher this was gonna be a day like any other. He had a fight today with 'Strong Arm' Steven. Christopher was stood there shirtless with some shorts on he had relatively long light brown hair and he had hazel eyes he was relatively handsome. It was time for his fight and so he waited to be called into the ring.
"Ladies! Gentlemen! feast you eyes on 'Strong Arm' Steven!" the Announcer shouted out into the crowd. Cheering was heard from the crowd and out stood Steven getting into the ring he was a massive man who looked to be made mostly of muscle as apposed to Christopher's more lean and athletic build.
"And up next! The fastest arm seen in modern day 'The Surge' Christopher" again the crowd roared into life as the cheered however Christopher's was obviously much louder something which visibly annoyed Steven.
"Lets begin today's Bare Knuckle Boxing Match!" The Announcer stated as a bell was rung.
Immediately, Steven ran forward throwing a right jab at Christopher who managed to just barely dodge it, throwing back a jap of his own which made contact with Steven's face and as it did Christopher pressed his thumb into Steven's eye, Steven proceeded to grown in pain however he had managed to grab Christopher's arm making it so he couldn't dodge and he let out a barrage of punches into his Gut and finishing up with a right hook to the face.
"Arrgghhh!" Christopher cried out in pain. however he didn't even have a moment of rest as Steven went back to pummelling him and by the end of it Christopher was covered in bruises.
An energy began to fill up Christopher "Wha-what is this feeling" Christopher said and as if like magic his wounds seemed to heal "THIS FEELS GREAT!!" Christopher screamed as he managed to break out of Stevens grasp as if it was nothing, breaking three of his fingers along the way.
"ARRGGHH" Steven screamed "What the fuck are yo-" He didn't finish to get out as Christopher punched him in the face sending him flying out of the ring with a broken jaw.
As Christopher looked down at him self he seemed to be more muscular and his nails seemed to have sharpened and gone block and what he couldn't see is that his eyes had gone from a hazel colour to a bright orange colour "Wha- Wait! is this what I think it is!" Christopher said as his body started to revert back to its natural form.
"BOO!" the Crowd started to scream "Cheater, you know that powered people aren't allowed here!"
"SHUT THE FUCK UP!" Christopher screamed into the crowd and as he did it went silent "I-I it just happened"
Christopher quickly ran off out of the place grabbing his regular clothes on the way out he wanted to get out of there before the backlash came for him.
"I-I have an ability" Christopher muttered out loud "I should go see peter maybe I can finally join the Limbo Gang..."
