The life of Xavier Reed was a hard one. Born into a world without power, when his parents were 2 of the top 100 Heroes in the world was devastating. Heartbreaking for him. But most of all, his parents were not happy. Not happy at all. And they continued to berate and abuse him until he was of age to leave home, and live on his own and go to his own schooling. And at the age of 16 years old, Xavier moved out of the Reed household, and into a small area called Sandrift County.
His life was fairly normal after he moved away from his parents. Moved away from trying to become a hero. But that was once his dream, and he loved the heroics put on by the Heroes, especially his favorite hero, Collateral Judgement! But his love for heroes slowly dissipated, as every day at Sandrift Highschool, all they talked about was heroics. He chose this school because of its ONLY Powerless roster, but all they did was talk about powers. During recess, math, English, arts... He was so sick. He just didn't care anymore. And that's where our story starts. When he doesn't care.
"Alright, class! Open your textbooks to page 64, today we will be learning of the great deed of Collateral Judgement!" 'This was all that Mrs. Johnson talked about... I was getting sick and tired of it all...' Thought Xavier, looking towards his teacher in disappointment... Class was the same thing these days, and soon enough his thoughts began to wander. "You know. Who cares about some bummy 3rd rate heroes who are in their fifty's?" The class was silent, everyone looking to him in confusion, some in anger. A Student spoke up. "HAH! You're one to talk, Reed. You don't even get an A in Battle Training!" He would laugh, looking to the boy with a small smile. "That's because I go easy on you.." This was a bluff. He did know hand to hand combat and was proficient, but his body was super weak because he didn't work out at all. He didn't feel the need to. "Pfft, that's Funny Reed! You're trash!!" The entire class began to laugh at him, that was until a voice rang out in their heads...
I don't care. I don't care. I don't care, I don't care, I don't care. I don't care. Who cares?? I don't. Cease your existence Jay. Cease your existence. You're nothing.
The voice was directed to a classmate named Jay. He would scream in agony, holding his head in pain as he falls to his knees. "AHHHHHHHHHH!!!" He screamed out in pain before his eyes would roll into the back of his head, and he would fall over face first into the ground, his body turning grey and going cold. Everyone was surprised, looking to the body. "H-He's dead!!" One student screamed, the rest following suit. That was until they looked back to see the smiling face of Xavier. That's when they remembered. He didn't care-

"Sir, a Villain has started rampaging at the local high school!!" An officer would come running into the Chief of Polices office, screaming that a Villain rampage had started. The man would puff out some smoke from his pipe, turning around and revealing himself. "You're shitting me."

John shows no signs of Special Abilities, however he is very smart and his tactics to capture criminals succeed for the most part. He is currently 56 years Old, adorned with Aging brown hair and black eyes. His skin is rather pale in color.
"I'm not kidding sir." He would sigh in slight annoyance, sitting up. "Tell me what happened." The officer would clear their throat beginning to speak. "The situation has been happening for 3 hours sir. The Villain is presumably called Phantom, and they are extremely new, just awakening this morning. They are sparing no lives, and from the one survivors testimony they are testing out their powers?? They also don't seem to want money nor to negotiate, as they aren't having any evil motives other than slaughter of men." The Chief would sigh, cases like these were difficult, especially since they aren't complying.. "Any other info?" The officer would nod, bringing up a piece of paper. "He is no older than 18 years old, and from the Witness it seems his power is activated by his speech. So we should be able to stop him with a taser or if we have to... A Shot to his head..."
"Alright. Here's the plan. We go, and we do something really simple. We try and aprehend him. If we can't, we take em out."
