David Dunn lived in West Philadelphia most of his life as the only child to Carl and Daniella Dunn, respectively a gym teacher and a pharmacist. When he was at school, he remembers that he was bullied for his freakish size, and in one incident where he was playfully dunked by some children in the school swimming pool, he went into a frightened trance and almost drowned. He was barely revived by the lifeguard, and for the rest of his life he would develop aquaphobia, an irrational fear of water. The story of his near-death experience became something of a lesson for the other children, which spread even after he left, that they should be careful in the pool.

  • David Dunn lived in West Philadelphia most of his life as the only child to Carl and Daniella Dunn, respectively a gym teacher and a pharmacist. When he was at school, he remembers that he was bullied for his freakish size, and in one incident where he was playfully dunked by some children in the school swimming pool, he went into a frightened trance and almost drowned. He was barely revived by the lifeguard, and for the rest of his life he would develop aquaphobia, an irrational fear of water. The story of his near-death experience became something of a lesson for the other children, which spread even after he left, that they should be careful in the pool. At high school, David never suffered bullies after the drowning incident. He was surprisingly intelligent, doing well with most of his classes, but he found that the classes bored him. One day, he caught five boys behind the gymnasium bullying a young black girl. He confronted the boys, and when they attacked him, he overpowered them and comforted the girl. When faced with the injuries they suffered during the fight, the boys lied that they'd hurt one another playing football, and David persuaded the girl not to talk about the incident, so he went unnoticed. When he was in college, he enjoyed football and was a star player due to his amazing physical strength and prowess as a player. He met his future girlfriend Audrey Inverso, who was an aspiring medical student, and they started dating early into their relationship. However, they were once involved in a frightening car accident when the car flipped on an icy road. David was thrown from the car, but recovered remarkably quickly and ripped open the car door to rescue Audrey from the burning car. Audrey was hurt, and David claimed that he was too injured to continue playing football, thus giving the sport up to focus on his relationship with Audrey. He lied about being injured - he didn't break any bones or suffer any genuine injuries. He knew that Audrey, an aspiring doctor, disliked football for its reliance on damaging one's opponent, and wanted to discontinue sport because a relationship with a woman could last exponentially longer than a successful football career, which he would have undoubtedly led.
