## History

### Helping Cyborg

Sometime in 2019, right after the first attack by Doctor Haxx, Superman had the idea to from a team of heroes, to help prevent further attacks from villains. Superman began to recruit people, and one of those people was Cyborg. When Cyborg agreed to join, he knew he was in needing of an upgrade to his robotic body, so he contacted Venkman, who was able to give the suit the upgrades it needed.

### Lending the Time Machine

Sometime during 2020, Batman was doing his regular patrolling throughout Metropolis, when news got around that a man with an enlarged head, who goes by the name Doctor Haxx, was terrorizing the citizens. Batman sped to the scene of the crime, and began his duel with the Doctor. He did what he could, and even got help from Spider-Man, and his good friend Magneto. Despite Batman and Magneto's best efforts, they were no match for Doctor Haxx, who ultimately killed Batman. Destroyed by this, Magneto went on fighting Haxx, while also running into a couple of the people who lived in the area, such as Bruce Wayne. Wayne and Magento hid out in Wayne Enterprises for a while, which ended in Bruce being killed. But before he died Wayne knew of a way to help, and guided Magneto to Venkman. Venkman was a friend of Batman and Bruce Wayne, and was able to provide his Time Machine to Magento, who then used it to go back in time to warn Batman about his impending doom.

### The Fight for Metropolis

During the fight for Metropolis, most of the heroes of the city were busy fighting and protecting people, but not Venkman, who was sleeping in his bathtub after a long night of drinking. When he woke up, he got a call from Magneto, who told him to meet him at Kiki's Diner. He quickly got ready, and made his way there. Once he arrived, he met Egger, who explained the whole multiverse situation. Magneto eventually called Venkman and asked him if he had anything that could stop the Reverse Flash. Venkman explained he didn't have anything ready at the time, but could probably whip something rather fast. Venkman raced back to his place, and created the Speed Tranquilizer. Spider-Man showed up at his apartment minutes later, and Venkman gave him the tranquilizer. After Spidey left, Venkman went back to sleep.

Later in the day, Magneto and Egger came back to Venkman's and told him that they needed his help against Thanos. Upon hearing that name, Venkman told the two to leave his apartment, because he didn't want anything to do with the Mad Titan. After a lot of convincing, Venkman agreed to help, and told them about the forming of the Justice League, and how he knew about a 'man from Mars' who could probably help. Venkman told Egger and Magneto that he could contact Cyborg, who might be able to get them in touch with the Mars Man. Magneto thanked him, and Venkman told them to leave and not come back. Once they left, Venkman messaged Cyborg and told them about their predicament. Right after this, Venkman began to pack so he could leave the city, but once he got to his car, it wouldn't start up, so Venkman couldn't leave.

Once he got the news about the nuke that would be sent to Metropolis, he had a mental break down, and accepted his fate.
