Marcus Lin has always been a sort of genius since his childhood days. After graduating with his first bachlor's degree in Mathematics before he could even drive, he decided to pursue his knowledge further. He soon graduated with a Master's in Electrical Engineering and Physics. By the age of 32 he had achieved a PhD in Chemistry, Electrical & Mechanical Engineering, Mathematics and Physics.
Almost immediately after he finished college (June of 1992) he started working for the government. They were very generous in his pay as he was one of the top minds in the world. He worked on various classified contracts for the government, many of which were even kept secret from the president himself. During his time there he met several superheroes and became fascinated with the idea of it all. At the age of 41 (May of 2000) he took his intrest further by gathering up his earnings and starting a program called Hurried Evolution of Regular Organisms (H.E.R.O.).
His first experiment was on a penguin which the scientists there named Waddles. He was able to give this animal human-like characteristics. One of which included communication with the human race. Later Dr. Lin developed a serum that gave Waddles abilities beyond that of any normal human. They discovered that he was able to manipulate water and ice to his own liking which in turn gave him the name Ice Penguin.
In 2002, Dr. Lin met Jacquin Pierce at a martial arts competition. Seeing her exceptional skill he invited her to join the H.E.R.O. program. She agreed and he invented a forumla called Adrenaline which increased her speed and reflexes like nothing ever seen before. Not soon after she became known as Rush!, the fastest woman alive. Months later, While trying to improve on the formula though, Lin had a terrible accident. There was a massive explosion in his lab disintegrating the majority of his body.
He was immediately put in ICU and with the use of his own technology was able to be kept alive. Meanwhile, during his absence in the hospital, H.E.R.O. started losing funds. There hadn't been a successful breakthrough since Ice Penguin's mutation and so the board of trustees decided that they were going to sell the company. Once released from hospice care, Lin began working on a body suit for himself with the company's remaining assets.
Five years later, during the summer of 2007 while she was cleaning up some street gangs, Rush! ran into a hero named Roxstar. She was in awe of his presence during battle. During that time Roxstar was fighting alongside some of his friends in a group called The Envisionaries. This came shortly after his own super group, Paragon Stone, had broken up. Unfortunately his teamates couldn't keep up with the mighty Roxstar. They soon became weary and several were evently killed off in battle. Those who survived hung up their uniforms officially ending the reign of Paragon Stone.
Roxstar and Rush! quickly teamed up and with the help of Ice Penguin formed their own small group. Roxstar's leadership qualities once again took charge of a new team. Because of this, Rush! went to talk to Dr. Lin about Roxstar. He was soon introduced to Roxstar by Miss Pierce and very much liked the attidtude he had towards fighting crime.
The doctor then began to explain to them about his plans to save his company. He told Roxstar about the previous H.E.R.O. program and its shortcomings. Lin then proceeded to tell them about how he was planning to turn H.E.R.O. into an underground super group and that the company would become a basic civilian industry, engineering computer neo-technology. With the profits from his refurbished company he would finance the secret group himself. Dr. Lin then layed out some blueprints for a completely new bionic suit that he was designing and then another to a secret base.
During their first run as a team they came across an evil villain named, Blood Scorpius. His robotic scorpions were terroizing cities across America and after being broadcast on the news our four heroes felt it was time to take their newly founded team out for their first mission. They suited up and headed out to take down the evil alien Scorpius. Needless to say they had trouble. With such little experience together as a team they quickly fell apart and it seemed that there was no optimistic outcome. However, during this battle another rather famous duo showed up. The Purple Psychic and Arella 'the Blue Tempest,' who had much more experience teaming together, began putting the hurt on Scorpius. Roxstar, Rush!, Ice Penguin, and Dr. Bionic saw this as an opportunity in their favor and took it! With all six heroes combined in their efforts, Blood Scorpius retreated. Even though they never finished him off, they considered this a win.
After seeing Purple Psychic and Arella fight alongside them Dr. Bionic extended an offer for them to join. They accepted and the six of them became known as the Extant Force. Cleaning up the streets and locking away criminals. Extant Force was soon muttered among villains in fear. But the threat has grown too great and too fast. Even with their amazing talents the Extant Force needs help. So now they've come to Millennium City to search for new heroes, heroes willing to sacrifice their lives for a better cause, for a better world.
Are you willing to be a part of Extant Force for the better? Then sign up. Join the cause. Let's fight crime together and rid the world of evil!!
Join the Extant Force!
