Biography
Zane Ladle was born into the wealthy Ladle family, all of whom had superpowers (except himself) created by the mysterious "Green Event". The family (who called themselves the Family Fear) he was born into used their special abilties to gain wealth, power, and influence in the criminal underworld. Zane didn't care about the morality of his lifestyle until his mother was murdered by the other members of his family, stoking a desire to destroy his family. It was then Zane hired Black Son, the world's greatest martial artist, to train him to become strong enough to face even the most powerful superhuman on his own.
Eventually Zane became one of the deadliest humans alive and began to use a special armor that augmented his strength and protected him from psychic attacks.
