The Beginning

A genetic mutation - Learn the origin of his powers and how he gained control over how to use them.

The Early Years

Strength Pulsar originated in the womb. His parents were normal middle class Americans and there was nothing particularly special about his situation but strength pulsar is a genetic anomaly. The mutation occurred when his mother was in a car accident and nearly lost Hester in the first trimester. Hester Tanner Heels is what they named him. Tanner was his grandfather’s name. His mother looked up to her dad because of the struggles he overcame in life. Personal demons and vices that controlled most of his life were defeated in his twilight years and this courage is what she hoped Hester would have. The car accident injured Hester’s mother. Internally she had some bleeding and Hester suffered some torn tissue. His mother released some hormones that infiltrated the tissue of Hester. The hormones connected in such a way that his whole fiber became a protein rich tissue that could act as one muscle. This was the beginning of Strength Pulsar.

As a child he didn’t understand or know how to use his strength. Normally he was a strong kid but still in the realm of other strong kids. Occasionally, he would accidentally channel his power and everyone would stare at him. He would damage things, and scare people because he didn’t know how to use it. In his teenage years he knew the power was there, but didn’t know why, and at the beginning stages of learning, exactly how to use it. It wasn’t until he was almost twenty and going to college that he started to understand the nature of his power.

By the time he graduated from college with a physics degree he knew that he had a genetic mutation and that he could use it in a variety of ways. He started to practice using his power by training in the desert. He set up an obstacle course with dirt, tires, cars and trees and ran the course through many variations. On his hands, backwards, eyes closed and anything he could think of. His time became faster and faster until he was comfortable with his power.

He started to wonder how he could use his power and realized that he would have to protect it. He knew that people would be looking to steal it from him once they knew he existed. If they were successful there was no telling what they would do with the power. It could be catastrophic to life as he knew it. Hester knew under any circumstances he couldn’t let anyone know about his secret.
