Firestorm/Nathan Graves
The first superhero to appear in the world was Nathan Graves. At age 27, Nathan began working at NASA and gained access to secretive technology involving solar flares. He joined a behind the scenes lab known as the NRG, and began studying possible methods of harnessing energy from far away solar storms. After working closely with his colleagues for years, Nathan managed to construct a complex machine that would be sent to space to gather energy from the sun. Upon the satellites return to Earth, Nathan experimented on it with his partners when something went wrong. The machine wasn't stable enough to handle the power inside it and combusted, sending out a wave of heat equivalent to that of a solar flare. Nathan was the sole survivor of the blast and went through many extensive surgeries afterwards, he stayed in a special hospital for nearly 4 months before fully recovering.

Eventually, Nathan discovered that low level solar energy was still radiating off of his body, while it wasn't harmful to anyone or anything around him, it gave him the ability to make air combust, using only his mind. After this, Nathan revealed his powers to a few friends in his occupation but intended to keep it a secret between them. However, his secret eventually ran loose in the company and he was confronted by a government agency known as AMFUSA, who attempted to capture him but failed. Nathan then fled to Mexico in an attempt to hide from the government but was eventually found and taken to a secret facility in Nevada.

At the facility, scientists successfuly adopted his genes and used them to create a serum that could give any man his abilities. This serum was injected by Lieutenant Brock Harrison which turned him into the unstable villian Inferno. Harrison went haywire and went on a rampage through the facility, and ending up face to face with Nathan.

The battle ended with Nathan unleashing his full energy to land a devestating blow on Brock, knocking him out cold and defeating him.

After the previous events, Nathan was secured once again by the government but then turned loose under the authority of Director Heff, commander of a higher government agency known as CHARTER. He was allowed to return to his home in California and even offered a position in the agency because of his abilities, which he accepted.

Nathan went on to undergo secret missions for the United States in other countries, using his abilities to the best of his advantage and operating under the name Firestorm.

Dawn of the Silent Ninja
Belonging to a wealthy family, Rick Rodders became rich the day he was born. However, in his early teens a freak accident left him with two dead parents and a multi billion dollar to inherit. Rodders became severely depressed over the years and only barely coped with it.

Eventually Rick would go on a business trip to Taiwan, but during the flight severe weather caused the planes engines to malfunction and crash land on the Island of Ferkon. Among the few survivors were Rodders, A fellow businessman Brady Harvard, A flight attendant Maria Hoff, and tourist, Don Erik.

Rick, leading the group found a small village on the island and asked how they could find help, but few of the locals understood English, and it seemed like a lost cause. Eventually though, Rick stumbled upon a temple hidden in the dense jungle of the island were he met Master Jorane. Deciding that it may be a while before he and the others could be found, Rodders began training in martial arts under Jorane, and eventually became a master himself. He learned to wield a mysterious weapon known as Ferkon's Scythe, and spent days meditating effectively relieving himself of his depression over time.

After living on the Island for years he was eventually found by a search party, and taken home to the States, along with his fellow survivors. Master Jorane allowed him to take the Sythe with him, but only under the condition that he use it to protect the innocent. After returning to New York, Rodders gave ownership of the company to Brady Harvard, and used his fortune to devote his life to fighting crime in the city.

Meanwhile, one of Jorane's former students, Jason Wilder, would go on a mission to find Rick Rodder and recover the Scythe, which he thought was unfairly given to Rodders. Eventually Jason would go a far as to break into Rodder's private home and give him 48 hours to turn over the scythe. Of course, Rodders didn't and this resulted in a showdown between the two on top of Rodder Headquarters. The battle ultimately ended in Rodder's victory. After which he gave himself the title of the Silent Ninja.
