## History

### Background

Tobe has always had a love for superheroes, supervillains and hero culture in general. He is the son of the villains Killswitch (Lucas) and Enigma (Ricky), though they kept this fact a secret from him for many years. Tobe found this out on his own when his parents were out of town for a business trip when Tobe was young. He was watching the news, when he saw supervillains in costumes he had recognized. When he checked his parents closets, the costumes were there.

### R.E.E.F. Arc

Tobe doesn't want to be a villain, but he doesn't want to betray his parents either. Tobe and his friends, Sam Kurtis and Amari Myrsky accompanies him to his dad's secret hideout, in which Enigma catches them.

Eventually, this feeling of conflict between his two feelings all comes to a head when Golden Light kidnaps him, believing he was a different child of villains. After they rescue him, they talk all of it out and meet at a sort of middle ground. They decide to help Tobe become a hero, if that's what he wants to be.
