Pillbug

He was born in Paragon City in King's Row. Owen in his youth grew up in a working-class family and throughout his peaceful and joyful lifestyle and childhood with colorfulness he had. He faced tragedy at the age of five. his loving father was diagnosed with cancer stage four. Being, unfortunately, the terminal at its worst, while his father was dying in a hospital bed surrounded by his family and young Owen. His father left young Owen with a smile and kindness and was with him before he tragically passed away. During his adolescence in his teenage years, he was just a regular nerd and an outcast, he gained fascination over insects and was a gifted genius. Wanting to be an aspiring entomologist. He was constantly researching to find a cure for any illnesses.

That was until his senior years when he landed a job at a science lab in Steel Canyon working as a chemical engineer, while continuously researching insects and the notion of superpowers, believing granting someone the powers of an insect could do the trick through the form of a pill. While inventing, due to his pessimism. He believed that it wouldn't do the work and simply was just lingering to a tragic loss over nothing, being fairly upset over himself. He continued to study in hopes that one day, he could fulfill his dream into a reality through his intelligence despite facing everyday problems. While doing his average day-to-day lifestyle and dealing with unwarranted family dramas as his goal was to graduate from high school and go to a decent college.

His life would change forever, while working at his job, he was under attack by a supervillain who demanded her selfish interests. In the heat of the moment, Owen took one of his pills, and suddenly, he was granted the proportionate strength, powers, and abilities of a hercules beetle for an hour at a time. As he took random clothing and a random piece of cloth as his mask to disguise his identity, he emerged from the scene and confronted the supervillain. after a big battle ensued, Owen without any issues defeated the threatful supervillain that she was. Many lives were rescued that day, everyone. He realized because he stepped in, everyone was safe and rescued, and going back home to their families with joy and happiness after he stepped in made a difference.

The realization made him also understand that his invention can be used more than a simple science or any of the norm, where he no longer felt the notion of helplessness since the day he lost his father in his youth and can continue so no longer feeling that. After weeks of thoughtfulness, he decided to become more than just a regular nerd, more than just a wallflower. This might push back his dreams, nevertheless. He believes it was worth it, a decision he made that he would take upon and accept with open arms, a refusal to allow any furtherance of pain and misery of others go by ever again, to see supervillains terrorize Paragon City with nothing but sadism and evil purposes that seeks nothing but destruction and chaos, he can defend lives and save them as Pillbug.
