Every comic book recreation has to answer the question "what is the origin of the fantastic powers?". The Four Winds game addresses this with some odd
event on the eve of Y2K. As Dr. so-and-so activates her machine, thousands or millions of people around the world feel strange and gain powers. Some gain wings, or turn all slimey, or become
invulnerable. Others gain less obvious powers like sound manipulation. Jennifer Mulligan gained a single passive power that only an improbable
accident could reveal. She gained the power to absorb the powers from others under limited circumstances. If she had not been a paramedic,
she would likely have never known she had any powers at all. |

Eventually, this page will contain a short fictional bit about how the powered villain Gravity I (a throw away plot-device character) died in Jenn's arms
while she tried to save him. She felt his power flow into her, but attributed it to something he did ("I have squandered my life! Make something with yours!"), rather than realizing it was her
own Absorption power taking his gravity powers. She pushed the feeling aside and tried hard to revive him. Over the next couple days, she discovered her powers and felt the loss and sense of
failure (he was the first person to die in her care). Thus, Jennifer Mulligan becomes Gravity II, powered good guy. But for now, it's just a footnote ;-) |

I've been stalling on actually writing anything here. I felt awkward pushing the GM into a position of writing in a throw-away villain named Gravity
just for me. Then, while working on Jenn's March diary, the
obvious solution occured to me: Gravity I is from out of town. Jenn encounters him either while he is passing through Lexington, or when she has gone out of town. The details of this will have to be hashed out later with the GM. |

Gravity I was little more than a thug at heart, although he was an accomplished Astrophysics student at UC Berkeley before gaining his powers. After
gaining his powers, the thug in him came out and he began to bully others and rob banks for kicks.Same superpowers as Jennifer Mulligan (obviously since she stole them from him). Gravity I appears in Four Winds New York City. See Imperium. |
