Background

Franklin and Clinton spent eight years in the military and they were finally ready to clear out their lockers and head home. This would be where things would take a turn for the worst as Clinton would overhear a conversation between an unknown associate and their bunker leader from the military school, Franklin would also follow after Clinton just to make sure he was safe as his sudden curiousness spooked him slightly. Clinton would make the foolish mistake of confronting them and get shot down after hearing something he wasn't supposed to hear and same would go for Franklin and the two would lay there in a pool of their own blood. Franklin's mutant healing factor would cause him to reawaken a short time after and track down the bunker leader and kill him using his new mutant retractable "claws" to exact revenge for the death of his best friend.

Franklin would go back home traumatized by the events of what happened back at the base and would brand himself as a freak and couldn't live with himself and the guilt that he not only killed someone but did it in the most animalistic way possible. Franklin's parents thought if the trauma was that much for him to endure they would just by him a ticket and send him on a five year long trip around the world, discovering new places and learning about different cultures and languages. This would also see Franklin learn several forms of martial arts, languages, and meditation as well as Chi manipulation and chakra realignment. Franklin's journey to "find himself" would in fact work and after spending five long years away from home Franklin would be back with a new spirit and attitude. With Franklin back in Millennium City the public eye would of course take notice and see to what Franklin's goals are after spending so many years away from home.

Franklin had no real goals but one to save his city. While he was away he saw the world for what it really was. Crime, Terror, Fear. Everything man either wishes to avoid or keep from ever happening. Franklin got tired of sitting around and watching as innocent people got hurt either for no reason because they were trying help and he wanted to put a stop to this. So every night he would throw on a grey thermal, some black cargo pants, some fingerless combat gloves, boots, and a thermal mask and would patrol the streets as "The Beast", a feral creature who left his victims clawed nearly to death and in a pool of their own blood. Franklin began striking fear into the criminals of Millennium City, having them be afraid the Beast and hope that he doesn't come out of his lair and set his sights on them. Franklin was invincible with his retractable claws and regenerative healing factor along with some of his military combat training and martial arts studies, he was not the one to be underestimated.

Franklin transformation from the Beast to the Nightbeast would come sometime after he took down the man known only as, Vein. Vein was a brute with a mask that supplied him with a cocktail of painkillers and anesthetics that basically made him immune to all forms of pain just as long as he kept the mask on. The Beast would stop Vein by finally removing the mask and saving all the people of Westside after he had planned to blow the entire district up after receiving word of culmination of a "death dragon" to lay waste to all of Westside and Millennium City in a heartbeat.

Within the next following months Franklin would be spiral into a plethora of events such as the death of his parents in a car crash and having to leave all the fortune and good wealth to Franklin. Franklin was not yet ready to endure or take on such responsibility at the time as he was in his late twenties and was approaching his early thirties soon. This caused other business to target Carter Enterprises and take full control of the Carter wealth for just themselves and Franklin was too late to keep this from ever happening he was broke and left penniless for the time being. Eventually Franklin would get lucky and regain full control of Carter Enterprises after the acting CEO, Michael Kingston had supposedly died in a ARGENT takeover during a public, live press conference. Franklin did in fact learn how to run his parent's company and live up to their expectations and by this point Franklin was already thirty years old.

In the next developing years Franklin discovered other things such as learning how to become a expert if not master level mechanic and inventor and discovered a hidden cavern beneath Carter Enterprises, this cavern would eventually become the Beast Lair after finally taking his namesake of the Nightbeast. Franklin also would start to develop new-age weaponry and gadgetry for his escapes as a vigilante superhero living in a starling city like Millennium City. Franklin would face the hardest of obstacles in his life such as his first Blood Moon where the necromancer, Takofanes would release a plague that would cause the dead to rise and make werewolves show up from out of the wood works and this would send Franklin's feral-like abilities into a frenzy and nearly kill his new secretary at that time, Candie. Franklin would eventually regain control of himself and reveal to Candie that as long as she promised she wouldn't tell anyone else, that he was in fact the Nightbeast. Candie wasn't that surprised as she already knew from the get-go and noticed things like his nails growing in length periodically, his so-called "fast healing" and enhanced sense of smell and hearing. She just wanted Franklin to reveal the "other him" to her whenever he felt comfortable. This eventually led to a small romantic relationship and the showing of his Beast Lair and wear he stores all his equipment.

After Blood Moon, Franklin would come across a case of a "feral child" ripping people to shreds. This child would eventually be Nightbeast's sidekick, Badger. His name was Michael Brock and he, like Franklin, was born with feral-like abilities too but when his parents found out they kicked him to the curb and sent him to live on the streets like the animal he was. Nightbeast eventually took him in and trained him to be his ward and adoptive son and it would further act as a front to maintain the two's secret identities of Nightbeast and Badger, though the two wouldn't stay together for long as Michael did leave the Lair to become his own hero but continued to use the Badger namesake. Michael still keeps in close contact with Franklin in case he is ever needed and Badger still does visit Millennium City from time-to-time but usually only whenever he can sense Nightbeast is going to need help on either a case or a new or old super-villain that may be on the rampage (again).

Next on the list of sidekicks was, Jacob Newman a.k.a Watchdog. He was only ten years old when he somehow discovered a nexus tunnel that led to the Beast Lair and it took a miracle for him to sneak past all the security with out setting off a single drone or gun turret. Jacob had a rough life with a dad that was in and out of jail and a mom who had to make money by prostituting herself out just to put food on the table. Jacob basically couldn't stand it anymore and he called the cops after his mom got drunk once again after another long night and he rain away, giving his mother a kiss on the forehead and hopping out the window and into the night himself. Jacob's dad wasn't always a bad man and he used to be a miner before turning to crime and being thrown in and out jail just because there was no other way to support his family. This must also explain how Jacob must of found a way into the Beast Lair as his dad must of taught him about underground tunnels during his time as a miner. Franklin looked into the small boy's eyes and saw that he had nothing left in his life with a mother that was a (possibly former now) prostitute and deadbeat crook of a father, Jacob needed a role model to look up to so Franklin took him in a trained him in self-defense and only a few forms of martial arts and had him be Nightbeast's eyes and ears as he was always put on monitor duty because Jacob was only thirteen by this point and still had a lot to learn, this is what gave birth to his codename of Watchdog. Jacob eventually got bored of monitor duty and decided to go through Nightbeast's computer and do a simple search on Rebecca Newman, Jacob's mother and found that she had in fact stopped prostituting and was recovering at a rehab center after having a small run-in with drugs and alcohol. Jacob decided to print out a map of where this rehab center was so he would in fact visit it and see his mother and he didn't tell Nightbeast too afraid to see if he would stop him if he had told him beforehand. Jacob arrived at the rehab center only to find that this was no rehab center but a secret terrorist hideout that was planning on firing an armed missile at Millennium City's Renaissance Center and Jacob had to disarm this bomb and get his mom out of the rehab center. This was also a trap as Jacob's own mother betrayed him and beat him with a 2x4 block of wood and set the missile's coordinates same as that of rehab center's, basically she was going to blow up the entire center with her and her son still inside. Nightbeast eventually found out where Jacob had went after checking the Lair's security camera system and seeing that Jacob was heading to a rehab center where his addict mother was supposedly at recovering from a drug and alcohol problem. It was at the same time Nightbeast had saw a missile be fired into the sky and land in the same location of where it was originally fired from and Nightbeast drove his Beastcycle faster towards the blast only to see that he was in fact too late and Jacob was dead. A few years later Jacob would resurface in his twenties alive and well with an artificial regenerative healing factor given to him by an unknown person and he was going to finally serve justice in his own way, by killing after seeing things like his own mother betray him and beat him like a dog after he was trying to save her live just set things a whole lot differently in Jacob's mind. Jacob's current whereabouts are unknown.

It was after Franklin developed H.E.C.T.O.R (Heuristically. Enhanced. Computer programmed. To. Obey and Research) who would act as his new eyes and ears as well as computer A.I butler. Now that Jacob was gone and he needed somebody to monitor him while he was out as Nightbeast facing the worse evils to ever rise from the city. Franklin was still sadened and heartbroken about what had happened to Jacob that he in fact didn't see it coming when he was attacked by a clan of ninjas calling themselves, The Guild of Shadows and was defeated and transported all the way to Japan. In Japan, Franklin was in for a big surprise as he was about to meet the leader of the Guild of Shadows, Vlad'os van Iliuzija and his seductive daughter, Tarian van Iliuzija. The Guild of Shadows has been around for centuries and they have been monitoring Franklin since the day he donned the all-black attire and was calling himself, The Beast, the Guild had basically take an interest to Nightbeast and what he was capable of and that wasn't just counting his healing factor and amazing claws too. Vad'os confronted Nightbeast with a proposition to lace his bones with a powerful super-metal and no longer rely on his Q-Metal laced gloves to acquire metallic claws. So Nightbeast took the risk and had his very bones laced with a metal known as, Verbatium and now gained unbreakable claws after having his bone marrow filled with the strange metal and he also acquired enhanced durability as well. Though Nightbeast's meeting with The Guild of Shadows and Iliuzija family went far beyond that after Vlad'os approached Franklin with that the only reason why he had his bone marrow filled with Verbatim was so that he could have a power heir to take up his position as Vlad'os was dying and needed someone to take up his mantle by making Franklin marry his daughter Tarian and take his last name of Iliuzija. To make matters worse the night before Franklin was approached with this information, he was seduced by Tarian and slept with her that night and she winded up turning up pregnant, later leading to the future birth of Tarian's baby boy, Sūnus žvėries - the Son of the Beast, or what Franklin would later name him, Calvin Carter. Franklin later left Japan and returned home after successfully defeating the Guild of Shadows and Vlad'os.

As mentioned before Nightbeast conceived with Tarian van Iliuzija and had a child named, Calvin. Calvin was born and raised by Tarian and with Guild of Shadows training making him a master of stealth, hand-to-hand combat, and swordsmanship. Calvin lived with his mother for about when he first started walking at 3 years old until he as 10 years old and he was dropped off at his father's house after Tarian thought he should get to know his father and learn from him a sense of responsibility. The meeting between the two wasn't a pleasant one but eventually Calvin began to slowly learn how to be a hero (sorta) and because of this he earned the name of K-9 and became Nightbeast's new and final sidekick.

Things would eventually start to calm down slightly for Nightbeast as no more major-level events would pop up for him. Franklin's best friend William Rhodes would be brought into the Nightbeast Family after his younger daughter was kidnapped and he took on the guise of a vigilante named, Shepard and he and Nightbeast went and saved her. Elsewhere through some connections she had in Canada, Tarian van Iliuzija - Daughter of Vlad'os van Iliuzija would send a blood sample she received from Franklin the night they conceived and tell the scientists there to use the sample to create the perfect clone of Franklin Carter a.k.a The Nightbeast. Sadly the scientists at the lab had only enough of the sample to create only a female clone and not a male one as Tarian wanted the clone to be male, once the clone was finished they needed to inject the egg into a female volunteer so that she could give birth to the clone. That female volunteer was the fellow woman who actually created the egg, Laurel McKinney.

Laurel spent the next several months caring for the clone in which she named, Samantha, but the lab codenamed her XK-9 as she was sent on black-op missions as a better way to "teach" her in how to use her new powers. Samantha was also a emotionally depressed teen once she turned 16 and started cutting herself with her own retractable talons, her own unique pair of claws. It was because of Samantha cutting herself that she left scars even her own healing factor couldn't repair, hinting at that Samantha's healing factor was emotionally-based. Samantha was also no even born with enhanced senses that were precisely accurate as her "father's" so she had to be given a special vial named, Stimuli 21 and this drug would cause Samantha to go into blind berserker-based rages whenever irritated. Samantha eventually escaped her imprisonment at "The Lab" and traveled to Millennium City to meet her "father" and form a new alliance with him and his Nightbeast Family as, XK-9.

This as far brings an end to Nightbeast's journey from wealthy playboy, to vigilante, to superhero. Now Franklin continues to protect his city as Nightbeast with the rest of the Family there to back him up and always willing to lend a hand. Even if its not in the nicest way possible but Franklin will willing admit that he doesn't care, just as long as justice is being served in some type of way, the criminals of Millennium City will learn to fear the night because Franklin IS the night, he IS a wild animal, he IS the Nightbeast.

Present Day

Franklin now runs CarterTech and Carter Enterprises while also serving time as the vigilante, Nightbeast. As crime in Millennium City continues to rise, the Nightbeast will always be there to protect the citizens using his Claws of Justice to deliver the smackdown the villains need in order to realize, "We Are Heroes, This is What We Do!"

Appearance and Personality

Franklin Carter is more times than not, described as a well-groomed and a handsome man. Franklin typically dresses in the most priciest and expensive suits and often seeing driving around in what would look to be the fastest and loudest cars this decade has to offer to a man of his extreme wealth. Franklin sports an unkempt hairstyle with a natural "dirty blonde" hair color with a rugged and sometimes described as "scruffy" in more recent prints of People's magazine, stubble. Franklin is given the typical and often cliched review of being a "douche-bag billionaire" often caring only for himself and no one else unless its another hot date he has his arm wrapped around either for the night or sometimes week, but thats only if the girl is lucky enough to get Franklin to like them long enough. Franklin is other times described as a drunk when it comes to partying usually spilling wine all over an expensive dress or often destroying a table from over-drinking. This of course is to cover his secret identity as the vigilante known as, Nightbeast.

As the Nightbeast Franklin becomes an all-new, all-different person. As Nightbeast Franklin wears a brown and black costume with a tan-ish trim and becomes completely feral. Usually when operating as Nightbeast, Franklin never holds back and never pulls his punches (or claws at least) and goes all beserk on his opponents and its because of this reason alone he is often targeted by the police and sometimes other terrorist organizations like VIPER. VIPER has it in for Nightbeast as they received an anonymous tip that Nightbeast possesses a healing factor that allows him to heal from most wounds in a matter of seconds. Its because of this VIPER and VIPER-affiliated assassins often come after Nightbeast because hes usually number one on most of their assassin's hit list. Other than that Nightbeast has become a feared individual in the criminal underworld as he has struck fear into most criminal's hearts just simply because of what he is capable of and what skills and equipment he hides beneath his belt half of the time. Nightbeast also has trust issues and trusts very little people that are outside of the "Nightbeast Family" as well as him being a determined fighter and always wishing to work on his own and by himself. This was probably a side effect after having most of his sidekicks leave the nest after going on their own to become their own crime-fighting heroes. The last thing there is to know about Franklin is that he is sometimes not really a team player after growing so used to being by himself when it came down to taking down a supervillain so when he is approached (or is every approached) with an opposition to work with a team or at least another team he usually storms off, thinking of them as "lightweights" and how they may slow him down.
