❝ it's only after we've lost everything that we're free to do anything ❞

Kane Astor is a stray, and no, not like some poor cat cast out on the street, but more so in the fact that he never truly belonged anywhere. Not since his so-called heroic parents sacrificed themselves in the line of duty and ended up dead ― leaving him alone in the care of his ghastly and overly bubbly aunt. Kane is bitter and brooding and something is boiling beneath his skin and festering inside of him.

He knows what it is, he's just denying it, but after a while, he just doesn't care anymore about upkeeping a certain persona. He simply hates heroes ― heroes take everything and aren't held accountable for the destruction they cause. They are the bane of his existence.

They didn't care about his parents, they didn't care about anything.

Kane used to look up to his parents, wanted to be everything they stood for. Now all he wanted was revenge. The little boy that wanted to be a hero died the same day as the battle of New York. And there is only one thing left to do to settle the score.

Become a good old-fashioned villain.
