Brief History: John was born to a middle=class french-american family, but his childhood wasn't good. His mother was an over controlling abuser who beat down his dad with threats and called John names. This turned John into an angry child and got him into trouble at school on several occasions. He was suspended when he punched a girl who was bullying a friend of his and in an age of bias he was demonized for his actions. His mother was furious and John could see the hypocrisy of the world around him that allowed his mother get away with her abuse.

Every time he saw an ad on television that was about domestic abuse John always felt tempted to throw a rock at the screen. It was so bias and one-sided, it made him sick. Eventually his life would change forever when he was in high school and visited a museum of antiquities. That's where he found the demonic sword Blood Bane and upon laying eyes on the blade he felt it calling to him as if it had a life of its own. John felt that he just had to have it and so he stole it when no one was looking.

When his hands clasped the blade's hilt for the first time, he felt a dark power rush through his body and his body changed. John was faster and his skills in swordsmanship became legendary. With his new weapon, he ran away from home, not before killing his mother and now free he became a mercenary to amass a fortune. His reputation became big throughout American super villains. 

John's mission also saw that he acquired a parrying dagger of magic properties exactly like his rapier and his skills as a swordsman increased as he fought many foes and won many battles. His luck however ran out when a mission took him to Central City and he came into contact with the Scarlet Speedster known as The Flash.

Despite his inhuman skills with a blade John was no match for the speedster and he was turned over to the authorities and sent prison.
