Molecule Man

## Origin

Owen Reece was born in Dinosaur, Colorado but eventually moved to Brooklyn, New York. As a small and frail child he was raised by a coddling and over protective mother. By his own accounts Owen has claimed contrary to this, stating that his mother gave birth to him late in life and despised him. He has also stated that he was picked on in high school. While growing up, Owen developed a love for magicians and aspired to be one, but this childhood dream did not come to pass. As an adult he ended up working for the ACME Atomics Corporation and worked there for the next twelve years. Living a life beneath everyone's notice, Reece hoped for the day when he would be recognized by his peers for his hard work. While attempting to fix an atomic powered device, a trillion-to-one accident occurred, bombarding him with radiation and transforming his body. The accident gave him the power to manipulate non-organic molecules, making him the Molecule Man.

## Molecule Man

Owen wanted revenge on those who disrespected him in the past, using is new powers to end his disrespectful co-workers lives. To test his new powers, Reece robbed a bank. This caught the attention of the Fantastic Four who beat him by exploiting his inability to manipulate organic molecules.

## Return

When Molecule Man broke out of prison he decided to use his powers to take over the world, he fought The Avengers and nearly beat them but was inevitably arrested by them. Molecule Man didn't give up though and broke back out, he was now enough of a threat for the Avengers and Fantastic Four to team up and fight him together, they managed to win but only by sending him to another dimension.

## The Dark Dimension

When Molecule Man was sent to the Dark Dimension he had to fight off the Mindless Ones of Dormammu. Molecule Man eventually managed to get free of the Dark Dimension and returned, though he now had more power than before as he had learned a power absorbing method, because of this he managed to absorb the power of the Mindless Ones and some of Dormammu's power. He now had the power to manipulate all molecules, not just non-organic molecules. With his new power he fought the Avengers and Fantastic Four, nearly killing them all but most survived, though he did kill Miss America and Black Knight. He was defeated in the end though....

## Doctor Doom

Molecule Man was later recruited by Doctor Doom and together they fought against the Avengers and Fantastic Four, attempting to take over the world, though Doctor Doom left him to die when he knew that they'd lost, Reece was presumed dead but he survived.

## Saving Earth

When Molecule Man returned, there was an alien invasion which the Avengers, Fantastic Four, X-Men, Doctor Doom & More were losing, Molecule Man returned and helped using his insane levels of power to destroy all of the aliens, saving earth he then had to fight against the incoming ships, he flew up to space with a forcefield and destroyed them all. He then joined the Avengers and fought against evil

## Sacrifice

This didn't last long though as when the Beyonder initiated the Secret Wars, Molecule Man couldn't kill him and had to sacrifice himself in order to end the wars... This was the end for Molecule Man
