Raised fatherless, by his mother in the priveleged La Jolla community of San Diego, Ezil believes himself to be a mutant. In reality, his father is the Empyrean Eidolon whom his mother had a brief affair with. Unlike his father, whose Empyrean abilities take the form of mental powers and dream control, Ezil's have thus far been oriented towards superhuman strength and durability.
Well adjusted, popular, and always careful to keep his abilities secret Ezil had the sort of privileged "cool" California adolescence movies and TV shows are made about, and after graduation accepted football scholarships to play at the University of San Diego so he could keep the party train rolling.
However fate took a hand. One night Ezil was doing some lab work after hours, mostly for the opportunity to work on getting his cute lab partner Amelee into bed than for any scholastic interest, when VIPER and the super-thug Ogre raided the labs looking for something. Ezil and his lab partner were subdued, which Ezil allowed rather than reveal his powers.
"I dunno man; I'm just here to look good and hit things."

But when Ogre got too rough with Amelee and knocked her down and out, Ezil instinctively took action, sending Ogre sprawling with a thunderous right - left combo. A kick to the head before he could regain his feet put the supervillain out, and earned Apex Ogre's everlasting emnity for being a "bully".

The VIPER agents were dismayed to say the least to see the super tough Ogre so easily dispatched by what appeared to be nothing more than a college punk. Ezil proceeded to press the attack on the agents, and demoralized by this unexpected turn of events they team extracted Ogre's unconscious form and beat a hasty retreat.
Lacking any witnesses to his display of powers, after checking on Amalee and determining she was only unconscious and not dead as he had feared, Ezil clubbed himself on the head and laid down to act like he had also been knocked out by VIPER or Ogre, a tactic that worked when the cops and paramedics arrived.
However while he may have fooled the authorities, the VIPER agents and Ogre had seen his face and carried a grudge and not two weeks later Ezil was ambushed by a better prepared and reenforced VIPER 8 team, Ogre, and Lazer as he was going to his car after finishing up some lab work early one evening. In the ensuing battle Ezil's beautiful sports car was destroyed by Ogre, and taking a beating Ezil was forced to temporarily flee. However Ogre and a few agents ran him down inside the building he had fled into, and a raging super battle transpired. Ezil got in some good hits and even had Ogre down for a few seconds, but the two were too closely matched and with the VIPER agents and Lazer taking pot shots as well it was too much and he finally succumbed.
Things may have gone badly for Ezil at that point, but some time later the rookie hero Makeshift arrived and disrupted VIPER's plans. The next thing Ezil knew he regained consciousness in another building entirely with some guy in a power armor suit fighting Ogre. Ezil quickly rejoined the fight and with his new found ally quickly routed VIPER.
Unfortunately while the supers fought the VIPER team lead had time to accomplish his mission. In the aftermath the heroes discovered the head of the Biology department at the school executed in his office, files stolen, and the computer blasted! They also found evidence of some odd research involving mutating frogs. Makeshift was able to get the (blasted) harddrive out of the professors computer before the cops arrived on the scene. The duo exchanged contact information and vowed to stay in touch to investigate this mysterious VIPER raid in depth.
Meanwhile in the media there was speculation on whether San Diego had gained a pair of new superheroes or if they were just passing through. When both Makeshift and Apex appeared several weeks later at the AEGIS trials, rumors began to fly that they were in San Diego to stay. Many local hero afficiandos are ecstatic to have some fresh talent in the area, and there has been a fair amount of buzz on various internet message forums about them. Only time will tell if the rookie heroes live up to the expectations or not.
