Even their online escapades are hit.

Tadpole Days

Becoming a hero is different for every single one. Sometimes it's the excitement and wonder that calls them. Or maybe the fame and recognition tantalizes them. Perhaps they simply fell into it, using their powers to help and curiously found themselves doing it more and more. Whatever the reason, every hero becomes a hero differently. For the hero Bullfrog, it was a feeling of duty. To take the blows that the regular folks could not. For a young Percival, it was watching his father don his costume nearly every day to go out and do just that. Percy's first memory of wanting to be a hero was sudden. A spur of the moment. He's watched his father don the tights and put on the mask countless times before but one day it was just different. He couldn't quite explain it thinking back on it now. Just a sense of gravity. A realization on what his dad was doing with his life. The realization that he'd want to do the same.

Naturally born with powers, Percival's seemed to copy much of his father's. He didn't have the brutish strength or incredible durability, he kept the rest of them. And arguably, without the bulk of his father, was able to use them to a far better degree. Able to stick to walls, jump at incredible speeds and distances, and sporting a five foot tongue, Percival fit the frog bill far better than his father ever had. And with his superhuman status, he was inducted to Ravenswood's secret hero curriculum. He learned to use his powers over the years there. Then it happened.

One year. One Day. While he was still a student. His father never came home. Bullfrog was killed in the line of duty. An attack in New York. Mechanon was fighting the local hero teams. Bullfrog came to the call. No one was quite sure what happened. No one saw his fall. It was assumed he simply took one to many beams. The funeral was a private affair. Close family that knew the secret of his double life and the crime fighters he had worked with over the years. By the end, Percival was now sure being a superhero was something he had to do.
