ORIGIN
Thomas O'Malley was born and raised in Chicago to a long line of Irish cops. One great-uncle was a member of the Untouchables, various uncles, cousins, and second cousins hold positions ranging from beat cop to district chief. His father and older brother were both shot in the line of duty. All he ever wanted to do with his life was to follow in his father's footsteps, and become a police officer as well.

During high school Thomas took part in the Sheriff's Explorers program in addition to his other passion, the marching band, and was all lined up to transition smoothly into the Police Academy after high school. He aced the entrance exam, but out of nowhere failed the physical due to a heart murmur he hadn't even known he had. Devastated, Thomas left the Academy and slowly wandered the streets in a daze. Fate seemed to have a different plan for young Thomas than being a police officer however, for as he drifted down a deserted alley in his stupor he was blinded by a very bright flash of light and felt an incredible, searing pain that dropped him to his knees and then into unconsciousness.

Thomas awoke many hours later to the sound of a woman struggling. Coming to his senses, Thomas discovered that he saw the world differently now than he had before, in much greater clarity and across a greatly expanded wavelength; he could also ?hear? radio transmissions. Looking down at his arms, his skin was metallic and his veins looked like circuitry; his fingertips were shaped like nozzles and sealed by something like an iris. And when he moved, he felt tremendously powerful and coordinated. In fact, his reaction time was so accelerated, the world seemed to be moving at half speed. Then he remembered the girl sounds. Looking to the side he saw 3 young thugs attempting to sexually assault a woman behind the shelter of a dumpster.

Moving with an alarming quickness, Thomas crossed the intervening distance in an eye blink and set into the villainous scum from behind. The first he grabbed by the back of the shirt and threw backwards across the alley into a wall, the second he struck across the face as he turned to confront Thomas, but the third pulled a gun, and without thinking Thomas reflexively fired a green bolt of energy from the fingertips of his right hand, striking the gunman squarely and propelling him backwards into the side of the dumpster which caused the lid to slam down and crush the would-be rapists head. Stunned by the suddenness of the fatality Thomas froze for a moment, but fortunately the other two goons turned tail and ran. Pulling himself together, Thomas got the girl to a rape shelter nearby, and then found his way to a corner of a quiet park near the alleyway as night settled in. The body was found that night and Detective Jamie O'Malley, one of Thomas?s uncles, took the case. Watching from the park, Thomas was haunted by the sound of the thugs head popping like a melon; it invaded any unguarded moment and wouldn't let him rest. Finally he resolved never to take another life if it could be avoided by any means. Further, he realized if he didn't leave town he might be forced to elude the custody of a kinsman, or worse perhaps come into an armed conflict with him. As the thug's death proved, Thomas couldn't be sure of his own capabilities for mayhem; he might kill his uncle by mistake. Thus, though it pained him to do so, Thomas departed his beloved Chicago that night. At first he traveled on foot, but for some reason after a while felt an urging which resulted in him trying to fly, and succeeding.

After reaching the outskirts of Millennium City, Thomas holed up in an abandoned warehouse and began to discover more about his state. After several days of self experimenting he discovered he could switch back to his normal form by an act of will, after finally succumbing to sleep after a week of no need to rest, and waking up normal. At first he thought the whole thing had been a dream, or that perhaps he was going crazy, but merely thinking about the other form was enough to cause his transformation back. Struck by an idea Thomas thought about being his normal self again, and after some initial difficulty he learned how to switch back and forth with a mere moments thought.

Able to blend in if necessary, Thomas went out to learn more about this new city and perhaps make a new home for himself. He found shelter at a halfway house run in South Dearborn by an kindly older priest called Father Paul Tremain, and started to get his life in order. However he quickly found himself obliged by his code of behavior to protect many innocents and victims from the despoliations of street scum of various stripes. Eventually he managed to get a trumpet from a pawn shop and started applying his only real job skill, playing the Trumpet by day in downtown Millennium city, parks, or on trains for sympathy cash, and fighting street crime by night.

After his initial foray into crime fighting, Thomas decided he needed a call sign like other superheroes have and started calling himself War-Man, for he had decided that he had been made into a holy avenger by God to carry out a war on crime. He has since rethought that, but the name stuck.


WHAT HAPPENED (Silentblac)
Across the city a set of Dr. Destroyer?s wardroids were embroiled in a fight with some hero?s, one of the sustained a massive injury to its systems and core programming. This caused it to randomly teleport away in the middle of the fight.

As Thomas was moving down the Alleyway the wardroid teleported in right on top of him causing the two of them to merge together and become one being. Then new being that stood there when the merge was complete has the abilities of the wardroid with the memories of Thomas and human emotions (though slightly subdued) of Thomas. The wardroids core programming was damaged in such a way that it no longer new who or what it was supposed to be fighting or for whom. Its systems were integrated with Thomas?s nervous system, but its CPU did not survive the merger. The resulting entity is a molecular molding of both organic and artificial properties.
