Personal History:Growing up in suburban Glenville, New York, Jonathan Storm suffered in his young life. He lost his mother in a car accident whereas his father, Franklin Storm, a talented surgeon, managed to escape from the accident unharmed. Despite his professional skills, he was unable to save his wife's life and spiraled into alcoholism and financial ruin. After killing a loan shark in self defense, Franklin was sent to jail and Johnny was primarily raised by his sister, despite their closeness in age.
Despite the dramatic manner of his mother's death, Johnny was drawn to automobiles and became quite the mechanic at a young age. While still a teenager, he selflessly rescued two of his friends from a burning building. No stranger to adventure, he was nearly chosen as the human host of the demonic Zarathos, the Ghost Rider. He was attacked by the legendary St. Germaine, who sought the power for himself. Johnny escaped the lure of Zarathos with the help of archaeologist Max Parrish, the uncle of Cammy Brandeis, who Johnny had a bit of a crush on. This was an example of his normal life, until the life altering rocket ride into space.

SAMPLES
In-Character Journal Sample: Today was my first day teaching, and I've gotta say, it's a strange thing. I never would have thought twenty years ago that I'd be teaching mutant children how to build electromagnets. Oh, I shouldn't say "children". They're re really not. Hell, one of them was pregnant! She was a really sweet girl, though. And there's this girl I'm going to be tutoring. She calls herself "Rogue", and she's just got the sweetest smile. And she's coming over tonight. Hopefully I don't give her the wrong impression. I'm not sure if I was too forward, inviting her over and everything.
In-Character (3rd Person) RP Sample: "I know you've all heard the rumors, and let me assure you they are 100% true," Tony Stark began, "This thing in my chest is the only reason I'm alive."

The class wasn't really surprised by the admission. They had all heard it before, but still they wondered how it was possible. Tony loosened his tie and unbuttoned his shirt to reveal numerous rather nasty-looking scars crisscrossing his chest.

"I got these in Afghanistan in 2007," he told them, "I was demonstrating a new weapon I had designed for the Air Force, a missile codenamed 'Jericho'. The test fire I did for them was flawless, and a group of terrorists happened across the intel that said I was in the area. On our way back from the test site, the convoy I was riding with was attacked, and I got these," Tony continued on and gestured to the scars on his chest.

"When I woke up, I was in a cave, and an old man had put this," he pointed to the arc reactor in his chest, "in my chest. It was a much simpler design, he did, but it worked. This man, Yinsin was his name, saved me by hooking an electromagnet up to a car battery. He said to me, 'Stark, you've got shrapnel on its way to your heart. Around here, we call your kind the Walking Dead. This electromagnet will keep you alive for now.'

"That's where Iron Man Mark 1 came from, as well. The terrorists wanted me to build a Jericho for them, and I agreed, but set to work on this instead."

Pausing in his speech, he walked over to his large cart of supplies and tools, and with a great deal of effort took out a gigantic silver arm. It crashed to the table with a loud clang as he lost his grip on it, and the hand remained closed.

"This, class, is the first piece of Iron Man technology that was ever built, the right hand of Iron Man Mark 1. When I built this, I was looking for a quick escape, and that's what I got. I equipped this bad boy with a flamethrower, and made it heavy enough to pack one hell of a punch. And now, with the infusion of Arc technology, this," he paused again and brought out a similar device, though smaller and painted in the trademark gold and red, and opened the hand before continuing, "is what we have today. Iron Man, Mark 3. It's lighter, stronger, and runs on the nearly unlimited power of Arc energy.

"This suit is powered by the same Arc reactor that's in my chest. Arc is the pinnacle of clean, renewable energy, and by the end of this semester, you're all going to have built one for yourselves."

Anything Else You Want Us To Know: Johnny’s awkward around Bobby Drake because of Wanda’s love spell, and he’s really protective of Sue. He’d probably kill Reed if he knew what was going on.
