Sebastian didn’t grow up in a loving home. His childhood was loud, unstable, and unsafe. His parents were neglectful and abusive, leaving him to raise his younger sister, Kristy, on his own. He became her protector not because he wanted to, but because no one else would. He fed her. He shielded her. He promised her that nothing bad would ever happen. That promise became everything. So when they were sold, it didn’t feel like betrayal it felt expected. They were taken by men in white to a facility where other children were kept. All of them had one thing in common: they had been given away. Sebastian refused to accept it. While the others adapted, he planned to escape not just for himself, but for everyone. Eventually, he succeeded… or so he thought. When Sebastian finally made it back…He was too late. The room wasn’t empty this time. It was filled with silence. Every child every single one of them was gone. Including Kristy. No movement. No voices. No second chances. Just bodies. Sebastian didn’t even get time to process it. That’s when she walked in. The professor. Calm. Cold. Like none of it mattered. She looked at him not with sympathy, but with interest. And then she said it.
“This is what happens to heroes.”
“They try to save everyone…”
“And lose something in return.”
She let the words sit, letting him believe it. Letting him think this was the price of him leaving. That this was his fault. And once he believed that That’s when the experiments began. That was the moment everything broke. The scientists began experimenting on him soon after. They called him “special.” The professor had been studying fragments of the badness asteroid the same energy that enhanced villains. But she didn’t just use it. She weaponized it. She extracted it… refined it… turned it into a liquid. Something unstable. Something powerful. Something dangerous. And she used Sebastian as her test subject. They injected him with it. Again And again. And again. Each time, the energy tore through his body changing him, mutating him, forcing him to survive something no human should. It didn’t just give him power. It remade him. Until one day, he tired one last time to escape hiding in a room until he saw them. Kristy. The other children. Suspended in glass tubes, floating in a glowing liquid. That sight shattered him completely. His grief turned into something violent something uncontrollable. Energy surged through him, lifting objects into the air around him as his body changed. He tried to kill the scientists. Instead, the power exploded. He was launched across the sky like a meteor, crashing into Tarabiscoville and waking up… different. Stronger. Altered. No longer just human.
Now known as Klipspringer, Sebastian lives with overwhelming guilt and unresolved grief. He masks it with:
But when things go quiet, it all comes back. He doesn’t fight because he’s fearless. He fights because if he stops moving he has to remember.
