*"Looks like you've run into some trouble, buddy..."*
—Javelin Black
**Javelin Mikhal Black** (**Джавелин Михал Чернить**) is the alternate reality distortion of Lance White from Earth-2. Black served as a government agent hunting down superpowered individuals and their supporters on behalf of Grid Biologies.

His motives for such actions remain unknown, but he eventually returned to his sinister ways.

## Biography

### Early Life

Javelin was born on February 7, 1983, being born before his Earth-1 known counterpart Lance White was born. Javelin grew up in a unspecified, forgotten-named town in Russia. This town would be known only, and quite richly for its history in World War II.

Javelin, at age 3, would acquire the knowledge of engineering from his father, as he drove each day out of town, far as it is, to go to a factory. Javelin did not care for it at the time; in fact he just carried the knowledge with him if he ever needed it, which he never thought he did. Javelin would also learnt fluent English from his mother, and he thought of it as the most beautiful way of talking. He saw it as being so fluent and fast. He would from then on prefer to speak English, to the point where it would sometimes get him in trouble.

### Moving to America

As Javelin finally ended his last day at high school, he thought about what he wanted to do with his life. He always wanted to go to America, and by that time, he knew English better than Russian. He booked a plane, and said his goodbyes, but his father stopped him. Javelins father, Ekel, asked him if he wanted something very important before he left. Javelin agreed to take it, as Ekel handed a suitcase to him. Ekel warned with extreme sincerity, that if Javelin were to open it before he was fully settled, there would be consequences, but he would eventually forget about it and leave it in his closet.

Javelin would eventually landed in Washington state, in a district called Sissiant Hills. He would find everything he needed there, including apartments, shops, a stadium, and a university which majored in medical and scientific studies called "Sissiant University." He would decide to take an apartment first, not taking on any big moves onto a house too fast. His roommate, an unnamed opposite reality distortion of Jason Kade would have a subtle friendship, but both slowly grew some unknown stress. Even trying to have fun didn't work, and it angered them that they couldn't be friends. They started to despise each other, growing into physical and/or verbal fights. They grew distant, and Javelin would leave the apartment. Javelin would fall into a deep depression. He would at some point move on, and start plotting on when he would go to college, and possibly what he would major in.

### College Life

Javelin would decide to major in Engineering, after his father having taught him much about engineering. He was tired of pocketing the memories, and would decide to put them to good use.

At the time, he thought he would fail the majority of his classes, but as he took a hit, he excelled, numerously, to the point where he would be well known and respected in his classes, much unlike how it was for him in high School. It would turn out that he put the knowledge and reason he had learned from classes, and bought some pieces from his hardware store, mostly bolts and metal sheets. He built a metal mannequin for unknown reasons.

As he went to his dorm, he would place the mannequin in the corner, but as he did, he heard something in his closet. It was a ringing noise, like a bell. He looked in and saw a black case he barely remembered from such awhile ago, the case his father gave him. He flipped up the latches and opened it, revealing a shiny 12th Century Russian sword (called a Shashka) was inside, apparently meant for Javelin as a gift.

Javelin knew exactly what to do with the metal mannequin, just then, and put it right in the middle of the room. He raised the blade, and slashed the dummy to pieces. Shrapnel went down to the ground. It was dangerous on his half, and he had yet to learn on his own how to put it to good use.

### Prison

Javelin would be in his apartment one day, deciding when and where to get a temporary job. He would hear a knock at his door, but going to answer it, he stopped in his tracks, as he heard people behind the door conversing about something. He heard only the slightest of the conversation, but luckily the words he did hear seemed very important: "does this kid really need a search warrant?"

Javelin took the Shashka and put it in to where it would be behind the door when opened. He opened the door, and it appeared there were two officers, who indeed wanted to conduct a search warrant. He, out of a blind rage, stabbed the first one, and slashed the second one in the side. They both were dead, and people in the hall were in shock. Javelin realized, something snapped, almost like he did not want to be there, possibly due to the stress of not having many friends, or just anger, but nonetheless, he went to prison.

He was to spend 24 years there, but someone bailed him out, and by the time Javelin was out, he was a brute, crude man. He had scars all over his face. It was a man who kept his face dark, never revealed himself to Javelin, but told him he was to do everything, from the day he were to leave this building, to the day of his death, he was to give back the world revenge for what they did to him. The unknown man also never stated where he was from, but told him he wasn't from "this earth." Javelin would be handed a black skull mask to never show his past.

It would still be a mystery of who would drive Javelin to be a villain, and where he mysteriously came from.

### Javelin's Campaign

After killing and decapitating the vigilante Jason Kade, Javelin continued to hunt down other heroes. He teamed up with Cody Nakamura, but after a while, he was captured and placed on the Amun Ra.

### Return
