## History

### **Origins**

Before Giovanni was born, his parents, Antonio and Marina Lucian, moved from San Salvo, Italy to Rossville, Indiana.

Years later, Giovanni would meet Bella, marry her, and move out of his parents' house. The house moved into was in a more rural area not too far outside of Rossville. The area was generally nice and not too interesting... at first. But Nino soon came to discover that there was a cave beneath the the tree in his back yard. Cave went deep beneath his property and was sort of cramped at its opening.

Nino, knowing not what fate had in mind for him, ventured into the cave beneath the tree. He walk for a few minutes in the pitch black of the cave only to find that it would open up into a massive room deep beneath the surface. And in the massive room, there looked to be a buried UFO. Unafriad of what may lie within, Nino would venture into the UFO, finding all sorts of strange machines and devices. But none of that compares to what he found at the front of the vessel, contained in a small force field.

It looked to be an emerald, carved in the unique shape of an arrowhead. Not thinking, Nino reached for the gem; however, this would be a grave mistake as when he touched the gem, it launched itself and shot straight out into his head! Alarms atarted going off within the UFO, which grabbed the attention of Nino's neighbor, Mr. Jenkins. Mr. Jenkins followed the sound of the alarms and found Nino bleeding from the head and resolved to drag him outside of the cave. Once outside, Mr. Jenkins loaded Nino into his truck and drove him straight to the hospital.

It was a miracle that the trauma surgeon, Nino's old friend Andre Fole, was able to remove the gem and save Nino's life. There was one problem though, Andy was found that he wouldn't be able to close the hole in Nino's skull and forehead so he instead implanted a metal plate composed of the experimental metal, Alloy Sigma. They also didn't dispose of the gemstone since it seemed to given off a safe, but still radioactive, field of energy and seemed to be unbreakable.

Meanwhile, in his unconscious state, Nino learned the history regarding the Trinity Gems and the power they possessed. He would learn that he'd invaded a Bede Transport Ship and made physical contact with the Mind Gem. He would then awaken from his coma only days after the surgery with a burst of psychic energy that rendered the entirety of the hospital in a time stopped state! He found that the Mind Gem had given him incredibly powerful psychic abilities, making him the strongest ESPer on Earth.

With his powers made known to him, he would summon the Mind Gem to his hand and place it in the hole in his forehead and unfroze the people within the hospital, too. He would later return home with his wife, telling her about his experience in the unconscious world and the history of the Trinity Gems, as well as telling her of his new found powers. But Bella would ask Nino to keep his powers a secret. She didn't want crazy people coming after him the alien madman Bat-El, who had fought heroes like Superhero and the Superhero Society of America.

But the universe had bigger plans for Nino than a quiet life with his wife. Two months after he obtain his powers, superpowered goons from a cult that worshipped something called "Armageddon" would track him down and kidnap him while his wife was at work. The cult's goal was to remove the Mind Gem from Nino's forehead and use it to summon Armageddon to Earth. Nino, however, wasn't a big fan of this plan seeing as how they were probably going to try and kill him after they removed the gem from his forehead. So his decided to try and escape.

Nino used the vast psychic abilities at his disposal to fight his way through the cult members but got lost trying to escape the hideout and instead found the cult's leader, Uthor. Their powers seemed to almost match in terms of strength but Nino's Mind Gem granted powers would prove superior to Uthor's ability to corrupt everything around him. He claimed Uthor's crown as a prize and opted to make his own way out of the cult's hideout.
