OK, here's mine.

TOXIC

Stefan Jarząbek (all of you who are not Polish don't even try to pronounce it) was a worker at a chemical plant run by a company called TechCorp somewhere in south Poland (near the Warsaw-Kraków train route, for those of you who know the country). One day there was a dangerous accident in the factory and Stefan was doused in chemical fire and radiation. Luckily for him, he turned out to be a mutant and absorbed the deadly energies. Absorbing energy gave him temporarily superhuman strength and energy blasts.

He tried to sue the company for damages after the accident, which was caused by the company neglecting security measures. However, the company's lawyer successfully argued, that since he sustained no injury, no compensation is due. He was subsequently fired. Disgruntled and deprived of his livelihood, he vowed to use his new-found powers to take vengeance on TechCorp.

He does not have a costume except for a gas mask he used to wear at work.
