This is made up and the history is completely false, none of this happened.

In the year 1984, America had come up with a way to make any man super human, and change him into a new man physically, but the same man, mentally. But something went wrong. They tried the experiment over and over until they got it right, but it never worked properly. Unfortunately, they chose you to be a subject of the experiment. You were only 13 years old, but the men trying to prove that the machine worked, thought that the younger the subjects were, the more powerful they could be. They finally got the genes and DNA aligned perfectly with some injected medicines, and created a better you. A more intelligent, more powerful, you. But you did not want this. You didn't want to be more powerful than anyone else, or more intelligent. You just wanted to be normal, like everyone else. You wanted to live with your mother and father in perfect harmony, but they wouldn't allow this. They killed your mother and father, to make you want to be part of the experiment even more, to take revenge on them. You foolishly accepted, and they strapped you to a machine and tied you against a metal table. You get pierced by needles, and your vision slowly fades to darkness.

You awake in a capsule-like machine. You look around, and your still tied by the chains and ropes they used to keep you from leaping up during the operation. You feel stiff, but then you remember what those so called 'scientists' did to you, and your family. With unquestionable rage, you bash on the top of the capsule, and become freed of your bondage. You punch the top of the capsule, and the top flies upward, and through the roof. you sit up-right, and look around. The building you are in is old, very old, and rusty. Outside the glass windows, you see darkness, and very tall buildings surrounding the one you are currently in. Its dark in the room, but then you start to feel a change. Your eyes... change. They itch at first, then burn, but after the side affects wear off, you open them, to find that you have newly improved night vision. You get out, and stand up beside the capsule. Your very muscular, and very in shape. You feel like you could lift a 20 ton war machine if you had to. The room you are in is very messy, with wires hanging from the ceiling, and desks broken around the capsule. The ground is also cracked, and a few windows are broken. You want revenge, but you don't have a clue where you are at and why everything is in such a mess. You go over to a desk, and find a newspaper beside a beaten-up computer monitor. The first thing you see is "Happy New Year! Welcome, 2012!"

You realize that you've been in the capsule for twenty eight years. That means you must be... forty one years old. But you feel like your twenty, and in the very best shape in your life. But what will you do now? The men that caused you pain and agony are all probably dead. But maybe there is still hope to get vengeance. Where will you go from here?

As my name suggests, I am going to be a super hero, or an anti-hero. I read the newspaper thoroughly and look around the building for any useful items. Oh, and I also make time slow when I read the newspaper so I don't waste time.

You buy it, and as you slowly walk away, the man calls out to you. "Wait! Sir. I will give you the best pocket-knife we have, and you can keep the one you just bought. Here, take it." You take the pocketknife from him, and he smiles as you place it in your pocket.

You slow time, and read the news paper as everything around you turns to a dark red color. The newspaper reads: New York Times

You scan through and find only the important pieces of information. It is April 5th, 2012. You look at an article, and see that a bank has been robbed two days ago by thieves, and they are still at large and haven't been caught. You see a few different articles, with stores announcing discounts on items such as furniture and clothing.

You slowly push away items to the corners, and it takes a low amount of focus. Where the destroyed desks were, there are cracks in the floor, and water is leaking from the floor above you, into the cracks. While you used the pressure sweep, the door to the next room rattled a bit. You probably made it loose enough to open.

You see a pretty young woman, probably in her twenties, at the front desk.

"A room here is a little cheap. It will be $36 for 24 hours." She looks at you oddly when you clutch your knee.

This one should be easy to use. I use Sympathy to induce pity, and perhaps a little attraction. "Oh, the knee. Yes, got hit pretty hard in a fight. Anyway, I actually can't quite afford the whole $36. Is there any way I could provide a little work, or anything along those lines? I could also trade this." I bring out the lower-quality pocketknife.
