A well meaning and well liked young doctor who maintained both a private practice and volunteered at clinics for the poor around the city, Gerald Hernsfeld was a rare individual. And that's not even considering he towers over people, naturally huge at 7'1" and around 300 lbs of all natural muscle. Most people assume he's a football or basketball star, but such activities never interested the empathic and nonviolent Gerald (much to the dismay of the atheletic staff of every institute of learning he ever attended).
Gerald would likely have lived a long and rewarding life of helping and healing other people as a doctor, if not for a freak bolt of lightning that struck his office one afternoon during an unusually heavy storm for San Diego, just as the good doctor was filling a syringe with a new experimental wonder drug called Regent-R produced by a local Biotech firm. The bolt didn't hit him directly, but close enough to light his lab coat on fire, shatter the vial and syringe spraying Regent-R all over him, and throw him across the room.
"Don't worry, this will hurt me more than it will you."

His nurses rushed in to find him badly burned and battered, and barely breathing. All three nurses, with 50 years of experience between them, believed him to be near death. Gerald was rushed to the nearest burn unit, but by the time the ambulance arrived it appeared that his burns weren't as bad as they had looked...not much worse than a really bad sunburn. He was still out cold, but his vitals were all solid, so he was admitted for observation.
By morning he was perfectly fine and released himself from the hospital, returning to help clean up his office and continue his practice. His nurses were shocked; he should have been hospital bound for months, even assuming he would ever recover yet there he was in perfect health. He just assumed his nurses were exaggerating his condition after the accident and resumed his practice, but soon came to the realization that he could heal the wounds of others and was forced to consider that something had happened to him.
Unbeknownst to him the company that makes Regent R isnt entirely ethical, and knows that the compound might have a mutagenic effect under some circumstances, and his miraculous recovery did not go unnoticed by them. They put him under surveillance, and when people with broken limbs and bodily injuries that Gerald attended to made startling recoveries as well a decision was made to nab the good doctor to study him.
A team of five agents assualted Geralds office as he was working on insurance papers, trying to get the most coverage he could for some of his needy patients from their poor policies. Striking with SEAL-like precision the five agents easily secured the building before Gerald even really knew something was going on, and likey would have had him in hand in short order. However Gerald soon proved to not be an easy mark, and fought them. The agents soon realized they were getting weaker, and their mark seemed to be getting stronger! Within thirty seconds what should have been an overpowering five on one attack turned into a bear fight, with the bear winning!
Finally Gerald had cleared some space around himself, hurling agents through walls and landing punishing blows that were felt even through body armor. In desperation one of the agents forgot their orders to take Gerald alive and went to toss a grenade, but flubbed the throw and it bounced back to his feet. The agent was blown to smithereens, Gerald was thrown thru a window to the street by the backblast, and the other four agents took the opportunity to flee.
His office gutted by the explosion, and his ability to drain the vitality of others revealed to him, Gerald realized that he had true superpowers and was faced with a real dilemna. After hours of introspection he determined that he had a greater responsibility to people to use his abilities to protect the innocent from villainy. Referring his patients to other doctors, he put his practice on hold and resolved to be a superhero.
Gerald had heard about the AEGIS trials, from the local news, and decided it would be a perfect opportunity for him to make his entrance into the superheroic community and appeared there for the first time as Triage. At the trials he hit it off with two other young heroes, Apex and Makeshift
