History: Doctor John B. Gruger was a feild medic for the military. He spent several years patching up his brothers in arms on the other side of the world. He had grown up in Grayshire. It was a boring place when he was a kid, but when he was older he enjoyed returning home. It was an easy distraction from work. John never married his only family left was his mother, and while he was home he spent all of his time with her.
In the time before the Gray Bomb dropped John was in a terrible car accident. Driving home from the store with groceries for his mother a semi had lost control hitting several cars. It had just grazed John's car, but it had been carrying a load of gasoline. A fire had lit the truck on fire, and caused a explosion. Most of his body was burned and he had lost an eye.
Moments before The bomb dropped, John was in for surgery. Recently a new technology had come out to replace eyes completely. The surgery was a success, but as he left the hospital the Gray Bomb dropped. For some the moment they got their powers was almost pleasurable, but all John felt was pain.
He awoke that night. The town was in a bit of a chaotic state. It was mostly just confusion as people tried to figure out what was going on. John had his own moment of panic when he saw his own reflection. His replacement eye was black with a red circle, and his shadow from the streetlights stayed the same way no matter how he moved. Within that week John had learned the basics of his powers, but he didn't understand his eye until after what happened.
When the government attacked it was without warning. John awoke to his mother missing and his home on fire. Frantically he searched for her, but was pulled out of his home by government troops. They put him on the ground and put a gun to his head. He struggled at first, but there was to many.
Looking up from the ground he saw a man putting his mother into a helicopter. For some reason she was unaffected by the chemicals. So they took her. In a rage he forced the men's shadows to form spikes to kill them, but his mother was gone. One of his neighbors apparently grabbed him, because he ended up excaping with them to New York City.
