PROLOGUE- WHERE IT BEGAN...
Shifter Journal entry point #135:
My name is John Trey but some know me as Shifter, a powerful teen metahuman who has ties with the Avengers , X-Men , and Defenders. But when some people see me , they see two things:
Either a dangerous metahuman who is a walking time bomb waiting to go off, or as most of my friends and allies say to me, „a misunderstood hero who rejected the evil forces that created him and who continuasly saves lives time and time again". Huh, they sound very convincing and I almost belive them but if you knew what made me a being of death and destruction you would question a meaning of the word „hero".
It started in my youth, I gazed with my eyes as I saw my father pack his cloths and private belongings. He said that he is leaving for me and that he loves me no matter what. I did not understand the significance of this, no even now but I hope I will , I always asked my mother why father had left us. She always remained silent and huged and said that she loved me. Because I lacked a father, a parent I was ridiculed in my yount and my schools. I would describe my self before my tranformation as being a being of following emotins :
Hopeful
Compassionate
Passionate
Hateful
and prone to rageful outbursts when provoked.
However a significant change entered my life on June 12th , my birthday. I just spent my day with my friends partying a lot. When I came home I saw a small vanilla cake and my mother screaming:
„Happy Birthday John „
„ Thanks, mom „
I said with a smile as she gave me a hug. As we sat to begin a family birthday dinner, armed men in yellow suit and very large helmets bursted into our house screaming.
„ ON THE GROUND , RUNTS! „ (which was ironic since John is 195 centimeters tall which is a lot).
As they draged John and his mom in seperate directions, he managed to break their hold of him.
„ MOM! „ He screamed in shock.
However before he could free her as well he felt a surge of pain in his head.
„ Mom... „ he whispered slowly unable to stand let alone fight
All of a sudden he heard a rapid sound of gunfire.
„ no..no „ he said in pain
„ no „ he said as his consciousness faded into unconsciousness
SEVERAL MONTHS LATER
John awakened in some kind of containment field that was being transported as he witnessed several men , who were dressed as the men who attacked him and his mom. He was slightly dazed at first but quickly regained his senses. He that attempted to listen to the men that were talking.
„ Why should we allow your spilnter AIM cell to rejoin with our main hive „ one of the men said angrily.
„ You see our subject there in that containment field. „ the other man said as he pointed to me.
„ Yes , that kid you kidnapped .„ he said mockingly „ What is his significance ? „
„ Well my estemed colleague „ the man said „ that kid you refering to has enough power to challange any of the Avengers you seem so trubled with. „
„ Your lying! „ the man said angrily and confused.
„ I assure you , Rob , I do not lie. „ the second man said
„ You see my dear friend... „ the second man continued „ each 100 years one otherwise normal human is born with a unique genetic anomaly and genetic configuration. On paper he is useless since he possess no superhuman powers.
„ Then what is his purpose?! „ Rob interupted angrily.
„ Calm down , you didnt let me finish „ the man said calmly „ However , due to that unique genetic configuration , he becomes a very ideal test subject in some power generation experiment due to his unstable DNA being to react to different types of radiation and genetic enginering/ enhancements. „
„ Wait , your telling me that you managed to give him powers? „ Rob said
„ Yes „ the man replied „ he is the current genetic carrier for this generation „
„ But not only have our results been fascinating but they have been very intriguing as well „ he continued
„ So what powers does he possess that you think can even remotely challange the Avengers or anyone else for that matter? „ Rob said curiously
„ Well our results indicate he will develop three power sets... „ the man said
„ Wait your saying that he will gain three types of powers ?! „ Bob said shocked
„ Oh yes , and thats just the tip of the spear „ the man continued to explain
„ Any powers that he develops will be incredibly and insanely powerful and strong „ he said
„ Has he manifested any powers ? „ Rob asked
„ He has manifested superhuman attributes : Strength, Speed ,Durability , Reflexes ,Stamina , Agility you get it right?" – the man explained
„ Is this his first power set and if it is how strong is he ?! „ Rob said impatienly
„ Wait arent you ,Mister Impatient Yet „ the man smirked much to rob annoynce
„ No , the Attributes are a by-product of the only power we know so far „ he continued
„ Which is ?! „ Rob watned to her the answer excited
„ Biomass Shapeshifting „ the man replied with a smile
„ Shapeshifting? Like Mystique „ Rob looked confused „ I know its a useful power but we could just hire her instead wasting the massive milions you wasted on this project."
„ Except , his is much more powerful. „ the man replied
„ More powerful that hers ? „ Rob looked suprised „ the only shapeshifting powers that exede her are the symbiotes. Did you use one on him? „
„ No „ , the man replied „ it developed naturally when we dosed him with a form of zeta radiation, and no shapeshifting powers can stack up to his now „ he said with a smirk „ he can shape weapons from his limbs and has comlete contol over every molecule in his bod
„ Is this his first power set and if it is how strong is he ?! „ Rob said impatienly
„ Wait arent you ,Mister Impatient Yet „ the man smirked much to rob annoynce
„ No , the Attributes are a by-product of the only power we know so far „ he continued

y „
„ Impressive „ Rob replied „ but what about personal shape shifting? Can he change into other people ? „ Rob asked
„ Remember when i told you his power is biomass shape shifting? Well he can convert any organic flesh into biomass for himself to make himself stronger , regenerate his health and absorb the skills and memories of the individual of whose DNA he absorbed. Even the slightest of DNA can perfect his shapeshifting making him the perfect infiltrator since he can access the DNA , memories apperance and skills of the target required. „ the mysterious man said
„ Well congratulations are in order „ Rob said with a smirk „ Just a couple of questions:
1) how long will it take for him other powers to manifest and what may they be ?
2) and what should we name the project for our records and what fitting name should we bestow upon our newest operative ? „
„ It is unknown who much time his new powers need to manifest and we do not know which will they be but I can assureyou that they will be incredible powerful. We dubbed this Project: Reawekening. „ the man said „ what do you think we should name him? „
„ How about Shape Changing Man?" Rob said
„ Lame: however I do think that Shifter has a nice ring to it „ the man said with a smirk
„ Shifter it is! „ Rob laughted „ Welcome back sir !„
„ IT is good to be back Rob" the man smiled „ IT IS „
