Alternate Universe #203

The universe in which Kyle Holmes originated in. It is filled with newly found alien races. The human race has colonized several planets far and near, space travel has become less complicated and is easily used for public transportation.

The Defect Generation, Year 2229

As technology improved a new evolution of humans began. They were called the "Defects", children born with powers spanning from telekinesis, to having the strength of a Giant. These people both young and old, were shunned by the unaffected population, some even murdered by those who believed them to be demons. One Defect, the one that some call the first born, had just about enough. He gathered a small group of like minded defects and proposed themselves the freedom fighter. They attacked numerous military outpost around the galaxy. As the attacks became more and more relentless and large scaled, Earth's nations took notice.

The Defect War, Year 2338

As the defects grew in numbers, their universal power grew as well. Raiding alien planets, and ravaging cities and villages, they quickly became terrorist rather then freedom fighters. As war seemed less and less avoidable, the Defects threw the first blow and attacked the US/Russia held Mars. With that they stirred up the hornets nest.

The aftermath. Year 2339

Although the Defects were a powerful force, they lacked training and the large quantity of them did not know how to control their powers properly. After a year, the military powers of Earth jumped planet to planet ripping the Defects defenses apart. A hand full of Defects remained. Backed up in the corners of the galaxy, surrounded, they held their ground and fought until the last man. That man being the First born, who committed suicide by imploding his own brain with the power of his telekinesis. The aftermath was repulsing, the troops who were on the ground during this found that the large majority of Defect troops were Young children, and Teenagers. This made headlines everywhere causing an uproar of disapproval and regret.

Renewal. Year 2342

As the rarity of giving birth to a Defected child rose, a new law was pasted. Any child with a known defection at the age of 6 is to be sent to the UPA(Universal Protection Agency) for a total of 12 years in total to be given proper training in order to fully control their abilities.

Kyle Holmes, sent with the second wave of children was the only face aboard the ship with a smile on his face. One of the Trainers approached him....

• Master.Sgt Hale : "Hey kid, why in the world are you so cheeky?"

• Kyle : Every kids dream is to ride a rocket ship one day, and I got the chance to ride one before anyone in my class!

From then on he became a Trainer favorite, he made the job easier for the Trainers considering how badly they felt for the children who were torn apart from their families.

The Tezera War,Year 2350

A Russian space frigate named the Grigorovich, that was on a mission to help evacuate the Storm planet Cali II was attacked by a alien race named the Tezera. From there another war commenced. Attacking several Human inhabited worlds, the Tezera was looking to conquest the entire galaxy and be rid of the Human race. Now that the Defects in the UPA were highly trained and at a legal age to join the military, they were sent to hotspots across the galaxy to support Earths fighting forces. The Tezeran had a habit of charging threw their enemies lines even though it hadn't been broken yet, so every firefight was a real pulse pounding one.

The IS Icon

The war ended six years later, the Tezera surrendered themselves after losing a large scaled battle on Saturn, waving a tattered white cloth after losing both ground and air support. The Tezera Government and Earths government held peace talks and found a way to co exist. That conflict ended, and yet some didn't get the message. Kyle was severly wounded when a group of Tezera rebels attacked a small base camp back on Earth. He was on the verge of death. While in the hospital the Vice President of Panner Industries approached him, saying he could save his life with a device that has yet to be tested. Kyle accepted his offer and was imediatlly sent to the Panner industries medical facility.

The device is known as the IS Icon (Internal Stem) when surgically implanted it will heal all internal and external wounds, as well as increasing the human bodies potential to a superhuman rate. Considering Kyle is already a defect with powers of his own, this stacks his concentration skills, and heightened senses to their max.

New life

After the surgery Kyle returned to his home in Chicago only to find that crime covered every inch of the city. Gangs and Mafia's ran the streets like they ruled the place. Witnessing the violence first hand, Kyle wanted to help put a end to it. Building gear using materials given by the UPA and Panner Industries. Pretty soon the crime rate began to fall as the Red crusader seemed to stop every crime as if he was all seeing. The criminals in jail told stories about their run in with the hero. The fact that Kyle's gear glowed a red hue made a big difference when fighting crime. Because his name would eventually catch on as Mr.Red.
