## **History**

### Early Life

Jethro was raised by parents with a strong morality. They'd teach him right and wrong everyday, and made sure he remembered those lessons. When Jethro was 3, his younger brother, Matthew Tull, was born.

During elementary school, Jethro would often be bullied because of his dark skin. But thanks to his parents' teachings, he knew not to fight back physically. He endured the insults and bullying all the way to junior high school.

In junior high school, Jethro met a student who was, for the first time in his life, very kind to him. His name was Thomas Nox, and he always looked after him, making sure no one bullies him.

One day as Jethro, Matthew, and Thomas were walking home after school, a truck that had gone loose suddenly crashed into them. Thomas was quick to jump out of the way, and Jethro pushed Matthew away. They were saved, but Jethro suffered serious injuries and passed out.

Jethro woke up in a science laboratory where Thomas was beside him. When he asked what happened, Thomas explained that he survived the truck accident, but because he was badly injured, Thomas' father, an engineer named Theodore Nox and a superhero by the name of Hydragyrus, used robotics to replace parts of his body.

After intense rehabilitation, Jethro was able to move his robotic parts. Inspired by how Jethro saved his brother, Theodore proposed that he become a hero. Aftering giving it some thoughts, and getting permission from his parents, Jethro enrolled into a school for superheroes.

### Superhero Career

Training at the American Hero Academy wasn't easy. Jethro was pushed to his limit physically, mentally, and emotionally. In one incident where the AHA was attacked by a villainess named Windbreaker, Jethro was able to beat her and detain her. For his act of bravery the AHA pronounces him a professional superhero at the age of 19.

Throughout his 25 years of service, Jethro has defeated and apprehended countless villains and criminals. At the age of 44, Jethro retired from being a superhero and instead became an instructor at AHA.

### Multidimensional Threat Arc

While performing maintenance on his robotic body, Jethro accidently activated a portal gun embedded into his arm. He stepped into the portal and arrived at D-1204, specifically the Dimensional Balance Corps base. Met by Weston Wilde and Francisco Lérida, Jethro was soon recruited after he learned about the existence of a threat against his own dimension.
