But one day, after almost twenty years, I escaped, leaving nothing behind but ashes and acid rain.

In a world full of superpowers, Felix had a pretty crappy one. He has the ability to modify any item he owns and to upgrade anything. Sounds great on paper; almost like a video game. Except that the amount of power it takes to actually change, modify, or upgrade anything worthwhile is beyond his abilities.

Investing in, owning, and using Super Heroes and Super Villains, Felix built up an empire: an organization by the name of Legion.
