## History

### Past

#### Early Life

Ivan Evans spent time in juvenile hall in his teens where he established himself as being in charge of his fellow inmates, many of which would later become Bang Babies, and after getting out, he went straight back to his old life. He was a nobody, desperately trying to become big in crime. This led to arguments with his younger brother, Adam, and their father.

Even before becoming Ebon, Ivan had a lot of issues in his life, especially with his own family, and after his father died, he acted as the "Big Man of the Family". As any gang banger in Dakota, Ivan was at the docks at the night of the Big Bang. The Bang Baby Gas changed him into a living shadow, and he named himself "Ebon" to reflect his inner darkness of his own life.

Now that he had power after getting his shadow powers, he saw his chance to start building a gang around himself, the Meta-Breed, from which he became the leader of his own gang of Bang Babies, the Meta-Breed. He "collected" those Bang Babies that were so horribly misshapen and deformed by the gas that they could not return to their old lives.
