AN: this is my first attempt at a story so please be honest with your comments and know that criticism is welcome as it shows me where I made mistakes in my work. I will try to make my stories entertaining for the reader but I am new to this kind of writing so please be patient.

All he knew of his beginning was being constructed in a giant tube full of parts of varying types. Though he was not aware of it until he was told, the first part of him to be assembled was his exo-skeleton. First boot like feet were placed on the platform then legs were connected to their corresponding feet. When the joints had been fully connected, the chest and arms followed. Then and head was placed on the neck joint and connected properly into the socket and the armouring began.

First came the chest plate, like all the other parts was gunmetal gray. Next were the legs, they received armour covering the entire leg. Simultaneously hands were attached to the wrist joints, locking into place and a helmet was placed on the head. Finally an electric blue cylinder of a power crystal call Quasar was slotted into a hole in the chest armour and covered by a panel with a large 'H' in the middle. Behind closed eyelids electric blue optics flickered on.

This was when he became aware of his surroundings but he did not yet open his eyes. He was lifted in to a large sphere with nodes at all angles. At the press of a button, white forks of energised Quasar fired at his core, the cylinder of Quasar within his chest.

When those bolts hit his core he felt truly alive, colour rushing across his armour, the primary one being a mid to dark blue and the secondary was silver. Twin shocking yellow lightning bolt blurred into existence on his helmet.

As he exited what he would later learn was called the Quasar chamber, he heard a kind voice intone 'Welcome to the Hero Factory Surge'

His eyes snapped open.

He was a hero.

He was Surge.
