Every comic-book superhero has what fans call a “genesis story”. This is the part of the superhero’s history that explains where their super-powers came from and how their lives were derailed from the path of Normal. Usually, an accident is involved, as with the Hulk or Spiderman. But sometimes, the “accident” is an Accident of Birth. The one who is fated to become a superhero may come into the world with a difference already inside him, and this difference will remain dormant, even for decades, until awakened by an urgent necessity.
