Biography

He was born in Baltimore in Maryland. 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.

Personality

Owen is an average, normal, regular nerd, an everyman who deals with daily struggles, he often is an introvert who tends to be unsociable only with friends that he feels comfortable and close to, he's unfortunately troubled because of his pessimism and tragedy he faced in his life which is also an extension to dealing with family drama. He often tends to be very protective of his identity which often he does his best to keep a secret, only to reveal those that are trustworthy with his secret to protect his loved ones from any endangerment if it goes from a random thug to a supervillain. He possesses gifted intelligence and has a fascination for insects because he can empathize with them for being looked at and treated as an outcast like Owen. Nevertheless, he tries to work hard for his family and himself to achieve his dreams one day but being busy due to his superhero career hinders him from accomplishing his dreams into a reality. Owen is very empathetic for those who are in need and cries for help, this stems from the fact of his refusal to feel the notion of helplessness ever since he lost his father to cancer.

As Pillbug, he's a completely different person from his alter ego. He's a wisecracking, one-lining, witty retort, sarcastic, motormouth, who throws and cracks jokes and one-liners to sarcastic remarks and insulting jokes with his sense of humor. He does this to strengthen his insect theme to bug his enemies and to distance himself from overly optimistic, brave, bright, and heroic heroes and dark, brooding, brutal, full of darkness type. He likes to be the wisecracking hero, though some suggest his sense of humor might stem from the fact he might have some form of napoleon complex because of his troubled struggles but also doesn't like being treated under tread foot. Nevertheless, he's heroic and a people's hero who often takes his time to save the lives of Paragon City such as the hometown he's from he grew up. Despite his heroics, he tends to struggle at the fact he makes a lot of enemies for always foiling their plans, while his reputation is stable for the most part and recognized by many in Paragon City. He can't help shake the feeling that his superhero work can often be distracting to his average life of his.

While his identity is kept secret and still fights off crime as Pillbug, he tends to lack self-confidence over himself which often can put him into scenarios where he might be unsure of himself or doubt, but he tries his best as he develops through his adventures as a superhero that he might hope one day it could solve all his problems from his troubled lifestyle to the crime-fighting path he chose, he fights crimes because of his beliefs that, he might've been incapable and helpless to save his father from cancer, but he can save others as Pillbug so he doesn't have the painful feeling within that he's incapable of saving lives, not out of the "right thing" or law establishment of the society's core objective agreement of choosing one's alignment. But because of his own personal motives drive him into becoming the crime-fighter that he is. He never cares about his reputation or what the public thinks of him, his only concern is that regular joes like him are safe and sound from any threats that may arrive in Paragon City while cracking a joke during a battle. Underneath the mask, he's just a regular nerd who likes to research insects.

Despite his conflicts, Owen prioritizes his family and loved ones as Pillbug prioritizes innocent lives, he still does his best even if he has to face the consequences for his actions and makes his own stands, during his adventures, he's formed a lot of relationships with heroes such as becoming part of a team and member of The Silver Shield and an honorary member of Justice Squadron for helping them when they are in need and many other afflictions, despite also creating a lot of enemies as well. Pillbug struggles with overdependence on his pills which is simply increased by his motivational justifications. Because of this, he's mindful of what he does and tries to keep it balanced, he often struggles with a lot of average problems that many tend to deal with, he's at the end, a neutral hero, leaned back and down-to-earth in every significance, someone who isn't supposed to be a symbolic or mythical, but local at best who just does what he does for what's his best of interests. Makes his own path and adventures through his personal motivations, someone who refuses to feel helpless anymore but to make a difference.
