## Overview

Henry, the Mothman, wasn't always the imposing figure that people came to fear. Originally, he was just a simple moth fluttering in the darkness, seeking light in the vast expanse of the night. In a time where cities weren't as they are today, Henry lived a relatively peaceful life, traversing through nature, resting on soft leaves during the day, and emerging at night to play in the moonlight.

The legends of Mothman, prior to Henry's transformation, have roots in Native American folklore and are believed to have been seen in West Virginia before the collapse of the Silver Bridge in 1967. Witnesses described it as a man-sized bird creature with glowing red eyes. These accounts fostered an air of intrigue and mystery around the creature, dubbing it "Mothman" due to its moth-like attraction to lights and its humanoid form.

Henry's life took a dramatic turn when he drank water tainted with the Delitexitus bacteria. Within two weeks, he began his transformation into the Mothman. His new form was a terrifying combination of his original moth self and the myths that were circulating, further amplifying the mystery surrounding his existence.

He soon discovered his newfound powers, which not only consisted of light manipulation, teleportation, and enhanced speed but also a suite of abilities that tied closely with the Mothman mythos.

However, the disdain for Ómennskir's made Henry's life even more challenging. With the covert Starless Regiment working to isolate individuals like him and Red Sniper on the prowl with a personal vendetta, Henry was a prime target.

In current times, after the Manhattan explosion, a young girl named Gaby Point encountered Henry. Instead of fearing him, Gaby saw past the myths and named him "Henry", giving him a sense of humanity that he had been craving. This bond would be crucial in the days to come, as the world around them changed and new challenges arose.
