Bio:
Thomas Dircks grew up in what was, for a time, a stereotypical middle class working day in and day out just to get by not concerning themselves with much outside getting through life. Sure they had seen that crime had become a big problem in the city but what could they do about it. It wasn't that they were selfish though, the Dircks’ always did what they could to help out the other workers in one of the Gastro Chemical plants. It was through these acts of kindness like giving some of their pay or some food they had left over that they tried to teach Thomas what it was to be a good person. And for most of his life, Thomas was the same, always helping those he could in anyway. This all changed though when the accident happened.
Being mechanics, Thomas and his father were tasked with making sure the plant ran smoothly and all machines were constantly running at full capacity. One day they both received a call that there was an issue in the chemical storage room that they had to go check out. Upon arriving it was easy to find that one of the problems was a faulty wire in the wall stopping power from moving. Not thinking anything of it they simple reconnected the wire to test how bad the damage to it was. What they could not have known was that once the wires touched the sparked lit causing a massive explosion in the plant consuming both Thomas and his father.
Thomas thought that this would be the end for him, he would die right here in this factory just like he swore he would never do. After a short time, however, Thomas realized that he, to his surprise, was still very much alive. However, he felt different, like he was lighter than before and that he didn't feel complete in a way. To his horror when Thomas looked down he saw a metal beam to be impaling him through the chest. When Thomas Calmed down somewhat he realized that the beam while going through him wasn't actually hitting him. It was passing through him with no damage to himself, and that there seemed to be smoke coming from what would have been the wound. Holding his breath bracing for the pain he was sure would come to Thomas moved forward but watched in amazement as his body let it pass through him.
As stereotypical as it sounds part of Thomas died that day in the ruble with his father. Gone was the young naive boy who wouldn't hurt anyone replaced now by a bitter anger against those who take advantage of the weak. I guess you could say that was Thomas died and Smoke Screen was born.
