newtâs modern verse takes place mainly in high school, set within the group of gladers also within the modern world. this can easily be changed around to fit other interactions, as well as older / adult newt!
newt was born in england with his loving parents, his sister being born a couple years after him. but after a couple years there, when sonya was still in her youngest years, the family had to move to america because of his fatherâs job. he still had his british accent, because heâd been old enough to learn it from his parents, but sonya didnât have it, growing up around american kids & teachers.Â
his name was isaac, named for isaac newton. thatâs what everyone called him there.Â
in the first suburb they stayed, isaac thought he loved it there. slowly, he started to realize that he was bisexual ( one of the athletes was just... a really attractive guy ), & as soon as he told one of his friends, the entire school knew, & he was being targeted because of it. he was the reason everyone joked, & he couldnât do anything about it. he started to develop depression, & soon his parents noticed, but it was already too late. after being pushed for so long, he attempted to take his own life, jumping off one of the nearby bridges near his house.Â
it didnât work though -- & now his leg was just busted up. heâd never walk on it right again, the doctors said. heâd always have a limp. but after that, his parents decided to move all of them again ( pick up the family & move them somewhere where this wouldnât happen ).Â
starting as a sophomore in a new high school terrified him, but he didnât have much of a choice. but after a couple weeks, he found a group of guys that just... accepted him. he told them his name was isaac, but named after isaac newton, & one of them ( his name was minho, & he was one of the only people who listen to him ) immediately called him newt. it stuck.Â
heâs still got depression, & he still has nightmares about what happened, but at this point? heâs happy. thatâs all that matters.Â
within the dctv shows, all events in the main modern verse have taken place, & a smaller group of the boys ended up going to college together, only they were in coast city. when newt finished his pre-med degree, he went to central city to continue studying, because more than anything he wanted to cure diseases. a current resident of central city, he is not a metahuman, but heâs very aware of them, & is incredibly interested in their genetic makeups.Â
within the supergirl show, all events in the main modern verse have taken place, & a smaller group of the boys ended up going to college together, at the same college that kara danvers happened to be at. he noticed odd things about her ( like the time she broke a piece of table off in her bare hand ), but said nothing of it, instead continuing to be her friend & getting extremely close to her. he majored in political science, & ended up working in the office of national cityâs mayor, still close to the reporter as she worked at catco. if that pre-established relationship isnât okay, it is definitely okay to change it as well!Â
