| - Born June 12, 1984, Jack Michaels lived rather an ordinary childhood in the island town of Pearl Bay. This town was incredibly secluded, the only connection to the rest of the world being radio communications and a weekly ferry/cargo ship until the advent of wireless phones and Internet. Needless to say, the town was, well… small and set outside of time itself would be a fairly close description of the place, with a population of around a thousand. The children were schooled in the small school complex, and spent most of their free time at the beach, in the bush or on the football field. It was something of an idyllic childhood for Jack, until he reached his adolescent stage.

| - Born June 12, 1984, Jack Michaels lived rather an ordinary childhood in the island town of Pearl Bay. This town was incredibly secluded, the only connection to the rest of the world being radio communications and a weekly ferry/cargo ship until the advent of wireless phones and Internet. Needless to say, the town was, well… small and set outside of time itself would be a fairly close description of the place, with a population of around a thousand. The children were schooled in the small school complex, and spent most of their free time at the beach, in the bush or on the football field. It was something of an idyllic childhood for Jack, until he reached his adolescent stage. As he became a teenager, Jack began to realize how very important he was to the world, and that he was talented. Talented enough to be anything he wanted, except a doctor or something, cause he was a little average in the thought department. But he was good at football and playing guitar, and also at fishing, so he was set for life in Pearl Bay. During his late teens, Jack became interested in the hip-hop culture gradually seeming to form in rural Australian areas, for some strange reason, and decided to become an emcee. And he was awesome at it. He was the town master, for his incredible skills with his microphone. He was handsome, he was a musical genius and he had his own boat. Life was set for him. After high school, Jack got a job working as a barman in the local pub, a pretty snazzy job, as far as he was concerned. It meant it was easy to get gigs on his nights off, and easy to get chicks drunk whether on or off the job. Admittedly, since it was such a close-knit community and he had a long-time girlfriend, he was careful and never took it too far. But the stardom was there. Oh yes, baby. He had a nice little house by the sea, and was planning to add a little seafood café to the side of it, but then disaster struck twice in one day. On a night off from the bar work, Jack was playing a gig, and drank a little too much, then proceeded to get into a filthy argument with the owner of the bar, and promptly smacked the man in the face, before promptly losing his job. The tragedy didn’t end there, as after losing his job Jack stumbled home to cook something on the barbecue, and managed to set his newly built deck on fire. The blaze quickly consumed Jack’s entire house, and in the process, something was kickstarted in Jack’s traumatized body. Though he collapsed from smoke inhalation, he was out of the small hospital merely a day later, feeling better than ever. As it turned out, he was. Metagenes had become active within him, and he was now the superhero protector of Pearl Bay. Taking up the name Fantastic Jack, he proceeded to very publicly reveal his superpowers, to revel in the adoration of the townspeople, excited over having their own superhero. But Pearl Bay’s a pretty quiet place, so aside from occasional shipwrecks or environmental risks, Jack’s life is pretty easy.
