Brian Raif

Brian Raif was born near Houston, TX, and the smog somehow gifted him with radioactive powers. As a result, Brian and his family had to move to an Air Force base in Colorado shortly after his birth, until he could come to control his super human abilities. Brian eventually came home to Texas with his family, but not until after The Blizzard of 1982, the creation of the Chicken McNugget, President Reagan’s ban on chemical weapons, the discovery of the Titanic wreckage, and the maiden voyage of shuttle Atlantis. Brian will neither confirm nor deny his involvement in any of these events.

The rest of Brian’s youth appears to be normal. Despite a suspicious amount of moves (possibly to prevent major natural disasters), no evidence of any superhuman activity can be found in Brian’s official record during this time. He eventually graduated from Tatum High School in 2001 and went on to college.

No one can put together a full account of Brian’s college years, but from 2001 until 2008 he never lived in the same location for longer than 18 months. Perhaps this is supporting evidence that his nomadic tendencies were to prevent natural disasters. During this time, he took to swordsmanship, befriended the queen of the frozen north, spoke frequently of supernatural conflicts, was seen flying on more than one occasion and now will only grin when asked whether or not he slayed a dragon.

Now, well into adulthood, Brian has become very good at hiding any signs of superhuman ability and no firm evidence can be found of strange happenings, but his wanderings continue and he has taken to writing “fictitious” accounts of supernatural and extraordinary events labeling them as “fantasy” and “science fiction”.
