Wisecrack
ob McHayberg grew up in a small remote village where he lived with his parents,where he spend his days helping his father in the stone quarry some miles further in the weekends , because like anyone else he had to go to school.
In the household Scenario everything was fine and everything worked out great for all of them , his dad being proud of his son willing to help him out in the quarry, his mother because he studied hard and get straight A's in every major.
This went on for about 2 years , but Bob had enough of school and learning and signed up for the army and got assigned 2 weeks later, 5 years went by and for some reason he made it and got promoted to Sergeant, he quickly became the popular but strict guy there and troops were honored to be under his command.
Some months later He and his troops got assigned to be on the battlefront of Afghanistan and to invest some suspicious rumors about dangerous chemicals they are planning to use as a weapon.
Bob and his Troop found the the underground base the chemicals were hidden in , however the base was trigger wired and activated by Bob who went in to scout ahead, the trap triggered a small tremor and caused the base to collapse and entrapped in a room with the chemicals and surrounded by solid concrete.Bob determined as he was told the troop members to get back to base and let him handle this ,reassuring everything will be okay and work out.
The troop , spoke against that idea for a moment but returned some what later to base.Once Arrived at the base the troop members heard an enormous explosion and looked back in awe and shock , the base where Bob was entrapped in was now nothing more than a Giant green mushroom.
The troop members and other military thought of Bob as in K.I.A and returned to their own country.
However 2 days later bob awoke and found himself blown away a mile from the underground base.
Bob, still being a bit woozy from the blast sat right up and looked around him, no more battlefields, no more
gunfire? was the war over?
A soft buzzing flew by his ears and a mosquito landed on his cheek, instinctively bob hit the bug hard against his cheek to crush it, being the country boy he once was.
It took him a while to realize it but, something was wrong, something was missing.
He didn't feel anything, not a thing or even a slight tickle.
Bob assuming his hand or cheek was still sleeping because of being in one position for 2 days thought of it was nothing and looked at his hand to see if the bug was dead and didn't leave any disgusting blood marks on his hand.
Then he saw and his jaw fell open out of awe , his hands , legs and whole body was turned into stone cold hard granite.
<u>The Present</u>
He recovered from the shock and went home some months later , in disguise of course, his look was just too noticeable.
Once arrived at his neighborhood he decided to visit his parents , but faith turned against him and his parents already got the KIA letter grieved and considered him as dead and eventually moved on.
Besides that didn't want to believe the man in stone was Bob , even though he tried to convince them many times he got rejected and was forced to leave for good.
Bob now all alone and nowhere to go hits the nearest liquor store, grabbed the strongest bottles he could get and drank himself into a coma.
Later he awoke in a bed , in what looked like a laboratory but than more warmly and a he could sense presence nearby and heard voices in the next room , slowly coming his way.
A group of people came walking around the corner and one young man saw bob's awakeness and scooted to his bedside.
The man introduced himself calling him Eros and told bob he found him in the gutter unconscious and immediately hospitalized in what they called a super group base, a meeting place for so called heroes.
The the man called Eros suggested he could use the help and join his team called " The Art of War" to fight evil and keep the neighborhoods save from harm, Bob had nowhere to go and accepted his offer.
And from that day on Bob McHayberg is now named and known as Wisecrack.
