A CHECKERED PAST…

Michael Heller's story begins in Juvenile Detention. Raised in a boys' home, and with little moral guidance, he had found himself in trouble with the law on many different occasions — his latest sentence was for 'possession' (narcotics) and petty theft, among other things. Still, none of that really distinguished him from any of the other boys in the Detention Center with him.

Then in 2010 the Spectre lifted his ban on superpowers worldwide… and everything changed for young Heller.

With the sudden onset of his metahuman genes (the legacy of his parents — whom he had never met — who were soldiers and test subjects of the US government back in the '80s, a unit designated "Team Seven"), Michael earned the attention of certain powerful individuals in shadowy government circles. A representative of a government-funded project for SPBs (super-powered beings) approached Heller with an offer: sign up for a "once in a lifetime experience" working as an agent… or stay in "Juvie". Of course Heller accepted. For the next several years he found himself on a team of other young metahumans, at the beck and call of a shadowy organisation that claimed to be working for the "greater good" of the American people.

So what?

He got to kill a lot of bad guys.

Aside from that - and the easy access to drugs and other vices - working for the government became just another job. He didn't like his teammates - well, most of them - and he hated his 'senior officer', Ivana, with a passion. They all did. The training came in handy - very handy - as his team was effectively "black ops + superpowers", and Heller developed into an effective agent.

He was the "muscle" on any given field assignment, also "recon" and part of "extraction" - which all made sense given that he could turn into a werewolf, a bat-thing, and some kind of amphibian monster at will. His codename was "Evo", although his teammates called him "Dogboy" more than anything else (also a variety of less-complimentary names…)

After a few years on the team, it became apparent that they were being manipulated by their own S.O. In a bloody coup in early 2014, most of the members of the Project went their separate ways. Heller leaped at the chance to make his own way in the world, but an "adventure gone wrong" resulted in a bungled robbery - and one dead police officer. All of that put him back in prison again.

Then trouble came to the prison, and trouble has always been an opportunity for Michael Heller. The hyper-intelligent primate, Gorilla Grodd, had been captured by some "heroes" and imprisoned deeper in the same facility that held Heller - but Grodd did not remain a prisoner for long. Formulating a plan to effect his own escape, and the escape of several others, Grodd approached Heller with the offer of joining - of "teaming up" - and the promise of freedom and future rewards…

Who was Heller to refuse? He broke out with them.
