Hurricane (Zackary Adams)

**Hurricane** (real name **Zackary Adams**)

## Origin

### Birth

He grew up with two elder siblings, Nathan and Carly. He was close to his elder brother Nathan, who, when he turned 18 (Zack was 12 at the time) went off to join the army. His parents later had another child, a girl, which they named Jessica. There were rumours of war, and it was known that Nathan was fighting in the conflict.

Over the years grow up, he got to know Zoe Lane, and they quickly bonded, hung out all the time, and soon became boyfriend and girlfriend.

### Prison

During one holiday with the family, they were on a boat in the middle of the ocean and a storm was coming in. Zack and his sister were arguing and he thought it would be funny if he locked her outside of the cabin where it was nice and warm. He laughed about it at first, but she was suddenly swept away in a wave. He quickly ran out to find her, only to see her hand reach out for him, as a petrified scream was upon her face. He was devastated, and of course, his family, were absolutely furious. This broke ties between him and his parents, but he remained close with his sister Carly, who understood it was an accident, even though she was still furious about it. Carly would later forgive Zack. Either way, the family wanted to keep Zack away from the limelight and not let people know it was because of him, however, Zack was utterly devastated and ended up stealing, fighting people, and doing stupid things over the years to try to find comfort, this ended up with Zack being sent to prison and spent a few years there, getting into fights with the other inmates.

He was later released.

### Gaining powers

His Hurricane story begins when he was eighteen, he got a call that his brother, Nathan, had died the night before. He is devastated by this and becomes a bit depressed. He walked out onto the cliffside, to gaze over the vast ocean, and speaks with his girlfriend, Zoe Lane, for a brief moment. His other friend, Ralph Newman, is also there to comfort him.

However, as they both walk away to give him space, Zack looked out at the horizon, and sees the cloudy sky light up in flames. A gem from outer space flies through the atmosphere, and it causes a tornado to form out over the waters. The wind is so strong that Zac gets pulled into the storm and gets engulfed by the wind. Within the storm’s eye, Zack sees the meteorite up close, and it explodes in a burning fire, which erupts in flames. This grants Zack with superhero like powers to manipulate air and gas to extreme degrees.

Zack is knocked out and finds himself on a beach at night. A truck rolls up, and the lights shine on Zack’s face. An old man, named Sven Baardsen, takes the partly unconscious Zack into the truck and takes him to his home. He is then taken cared for by Sven Baardsen and his wife, Anna Baardsen. They reveal that Zack has woken up in a remote village, named Norl, in the far north sea, of Cordayean. Over one thousand miles, and an ocean away, from the United States of Ardermia.

Over the next few months, he slowly regathers his strength, realises that he cannot contact home, his family or girlfriend because of how remote the village is, and how they can barely even leave the village unless its during summer. He slowly learns about his newfound abilities.

He slowly learns he can manipulate the air around him, allowing him to jump high into the sky, and eventually fly. Even he achieves flight, he cheers and flies through the clouds, noticing he is unaffected by the atmospheric change.

### First Outing as a hero

Rumours of his powers spread to the local community, and because of this the local young youth come to challenge him and to hurt him. They view him as an outsider, and someone who doesn’t belong in the town, this was partly because Zack hadn’t socialised since waking up in the town. One day, Zack was inside the kitchen of the Baardsen’s house, and a group of rough lads came barging through the door to beat him up. They said, ‘We will see if you are what they say you are!’ as it was also noted he was ‘stealing the local girls’.

Zack fights them off using his powers, but as he is choking one of the men, the others threaten to kill Anna. Zack is terrified so he lets the man go, and the man cuts Anna’s throat, ‘As revenge for hurting his friend.’ Sven comes running in, only for him to also get stabbed in the back by another man. Zack, filled with bitter and hateful rage, pushes the men away from him, he runs over to the dying Anna, and clenches her in his arms, he helps her reach out for her dying husband, as she gives off her dying breath. He then screams in anger, drops her, and blasts all of the men out of the house, ripping them apart in front of the entire village using his air manipulation powers. He then rips the one who stabbed Anna in front of him as he screams, blood splatters against him. He pants, and sees the blood over the floor, and himself.

Trucks from Vortex soon arrive, and Zack uses his powers to fly away. Zack manages to fly across the ocean in breakneck speed, and arrives back at his girlfriends house. He peers through the window to see that ‘She has moved on’. Only she didn’t. It just so happens that Ralph was in her bedroom, saying seductively on her bed. Zack is saddened by this, and walks away from the window, he calms down, as he is stricken with grief and regret for killing those men. He then goes to her front door, and knocks. Zoe then opens the door, and gasps for a moment, surprised he is still alive. She then leaped into his arms and kissed him.

Zack tells her everything that happened, and how he killed those men, and how Vortex are probably hunting him down. Zoe reassures him, as does his friend, as Zack is in tears. As they are talking, ‘A sharp wind from the north came, sounding like a dreadening cosmic wail.’ Zack rushes outside, only to see a being levitating in the air that came down from the sky. This beings speaks that he ‘smelt him out’, that he ‘Reeks of nova energy’. Zack confronts the person and tells them to leave, but the man in the dark black suit refuses, proclaims his name as ‘Black Nebula’, and uses dark energy and matter to fight against Zack.

Zack was unable to defeat him, and is slammed against the ground. He flies away with Zoe in his arms as the Vortex trucks arrive at the town. Zack then tells Zoe to stay with her grandparents as he turns himself in. She refuses to let him go by himself, so she comes with him. Zack gives himself in, and with Zoe, is taken into an interrogation room. She is sitting by his side, as someone speaks to him about what happened.

He meets many people, and with Zoe by his side, he is able to remain calm. And whilst he was in one interrogation, Black Nebula rips over the roof and attacks the facility. Zack then uses his powers and defeats Black Nebula, by almost choking him.

For saving the facility, and many lives, Zack is given a pardon, and they take Black Nebula away for questioning. Zack is then hired by Vortex, so when the time comes, he will be called to fight more ‘Special Enhanced Persons’, which the leader of the facility said, ‘All started back in a small rural town, of Torwick.’
