Gravity Control

By her 16th birthday Quorra Gavrilli understood that her father’s drinking and violence had all but bankrupted the family farm and scarred her Mama’s face and heart.

She awoke to his voice. “It is your fault! You give me girls too weak to work the fields, too stupid to manage my accounts. My father’s name will die with me because you cannot give me a boy!” His words were punctuated with the sounds of violence. Quorra bounded down the stairs in time to see Nuncio dragging his beaten wife out the door of their farmhouse. “Che cosa avete fatto, Papa?” Nuncio was startled, making a noise like an animal. Quorra could smell the wine on his breath from where she stood. Suddenly Nuncio grabbed the empty wine bottle, and drove it shattering across Quorra’s skull with such force the impact knocked her unconscious.

As she came to her senses there seemed to be fireworks behind her eyes that only became clearer as she focused.

Gravitios started out life as a pretty normal human, except that he was rather gifted when it came to scientific engineering feats, which he had noble ambitions of using to help better society.

He developed a lightweight armor that he used to study the effects gravity and how it could be used in more practical uses for day to day life.

That was until his lab was attacked by Malta Operatives, who sought to use the armor as a means to contain and control metahumans. Gravitios happened to be wearing the armor at the time of the attack and against his better judgement used the armor to try and fend off the attackers.

During the firefight, the armor was damaged, sending a violent electrical surge throughout Gravitios' body, doing severe damage to his brain and nerve systems.

Eventually Gravitios awoke, but was no longer who he used to be.
