Stanley Smith

## Storybook Smith

### Early Life (1914-1939)

Born into the lineage of All-Tales, Stan Smith was your average everyday geek. Obsessed with his Sc-Fi books and television he was bullied as a young man but was comforted by his father who Stan looked up to throughout his entire life. During Stan's teenage years he realized he had a knack for photography and joined up with the Photography Club at school to hone his skills. In his final year of high school Stan discovered a family secret, he was a descendant of the Greek god Hermes who used the powers of the pantheon to create a book his family could use to aid their lives. When his father discovered this, he gave the book to Stan under the caviat he had to use it for good and good only.

### Allies (1938-1945)

When the War broke out, Stanley had been hired by the Daily Crusader to go on the frontline and recap the war for them. Figuring this could be a good way to use his book for good, Stan agreed and was assigned a partner in fellow reporter Ethan Crane who was secretly the hero Supreme. The two would run into each other multiple times outside of their secret identities becoming storied best pals and even joining with the Allies together.

Along with Avangelyne, Doc Rocket, Storybook faced off with the worst of the worst, from nazi scientist Shark Man, the deadly Morgue Miner, nazi superman Agent Axis, and Abigail Asbestos, the team became well known among the US. During one fight, Storybook was kidnapped by the Axis and his book was given to a desperate Adolph Hitler, joining with the Allies they dispatched Hitler killing him in his bunker.

After the war the Allies attempted to stay together, even creating a new base of operations and taking the new name of the Allied Supermen of America. But tragedy would strike only two months after the war when Ethan Crane aka Supreme died fighting the Darkthornn. Losing his best pal took a toll on old Storybook who couldn't handle it and decided to use his book to reboot the entire universe.

### Silver Age (1956-1970)

Residing in the new universe, Stanley went through his normal origins becoming Storybook Smith, joining the photography club, and getting a job at the Daily Crusader, this time during the 1950s. The first big problem for storybook was when he was assigned to work with Astronaut Chris Kelly, becoming his best pal instead of the absent Ethan Crane, Storybook was surprised to see a completely different world from his original. Instead of the Allies there was the Roundtable of Justice, instead of Supreme it was Ultiman, instead of Fighting American it was the Badge, instead of Professor Night it was Knight Watchman and Shadowhawk. As it turns out, something bigger than the Book of Al-Tales didn't want the world to reboot and instead changed up the entire world to drive Storybook crazy hoping he would stop messing with the universe. This did the exact opposite and made Storybook want to change the world even more to create it i his perfect image.

### Bronze Age (1970-2000)

In the 1970s, Smith rebooted the universe once more inventing new heroes like the Fury, USA, and N-Man. His mental state being ruined, Storybook went through multiple reboots removing heroes and changing the universe to be whatever he wanted, he was trully playing god now.

### Modern Age & Downfall (2000-2018)

Finally in the current day, Storybook had changed the earth so much heroes from past universe began showing up, causing mass hysteria among the heroes they began rebeling when they found out it was Storybook doing so. Causing more and more reboots Storybook became Destiny, the writer of fate, killing hero after hero finally a group of men and women grouped together as the Brigade to break the 4th wall and revive Supreme. Finally haing his best friend back, Storybook attempted to reconcile but was met with hostilty as Supreme had been informed of his activitites. In a Crisis on Infinte Earths like event everyone grouped together to take down Storybook going way back to the first universe with time travel Supreme and Destiny fought causing another Big Bang and recreating the universe into the one we currently reside in. Destiny currently resides in the Nonspace along with the first Supreme neither are able to escape.
