Prodiger: Child prodigy

Prodiger's genius was apparent very early in life, At Age 14 he was getting scientific papers publishing providing for his otherwise impoverished family, at age 16 he was given an expenses paid enrollment in the South Hampton Institute of Technology, at 24 He had a P.H.D. in both medical science and robotics, After moving back to Galaxy City he was quickly picked up by S.E.R.A.P.H., Where he was given free reign to work on the projects of his choice, It was there that he began studying how to improve on the human body, Using captured Vahzilok Cadavers as test subjects He made astronomical breakthroughs for science medicine and cybernetics, Though the majority of his piers in S.E.R.A.P.H. had no objection to his methods there are always those who are intimidated by genius.

Freedom and injustice

Freedom Corp got wind of Eric's use of the mindless soulless Cadavers as test subjects, Instead of shuting him down through S.E.R.A.P.H. or ordering him to abandon his project. they formed a covert task force to undermine his work, the "Hero" Blackout was conscripted for the task of using his EM powers to shutdown Dr. Mendez's Lab. with no power the containment fields in his lab failed causing several of his volatile experiments to destabilize which intern destroyed his lab, Eric was left horribly disfigured the entire right side of his body was obliterated, After 6 months in a coma while some of the greatest minds in S.E.R.A.P.H. used his own breakthroughs to piece his body back together, He told Freedom Corp of Blackout and his irresponsibly, Freedom Corp claimed his operation was to dangerous, That the destruction of his lab was proof of that, They also reprimanded him saying the use of Dr. Vahzilok's Cadavers was unethical and a breach of security, Their official statement was "If it weren't for the injuries you sustained as a direct result of your experiments we would of had you incarcerated by now...". With that he left for the Rouge Isles...

Destined for greatness

His was one of the names on the Destined Ones list despite being a citizen of Paragon at the time of its divination, So naturally as soon of he arrived at Fort Darwin he had a meeting with Lord Recluse. "I have learned from my agents in Freedom Corp that you have no love for Cole or his self righteous "Heroes", I can offer you something that they refused, And even took away, I can give you back use of your body, Full access to whatever you need to continue your work under Arachnos, And in return you can give me soldiers to take Paragon and establish a new "justice"..." With the bitterness of Freedom Corps recent betrayal still fresh in his mind Eric received the offer with open arms, As his research continued he was able to not only rebuild his body to its former ability but improve on nature's design, using genetic splicing and cybernetics he replaced most of his senses, and rebuilt the limbs that were taken in the explosion.

The end of a contract

His Research was complete, And Arachnos had never been stronger, With both ends of the bargain fulfilled Eric and Arachnos parted ways, Eric took on the name Prodiger as he was the first and most powerful prototype of Lord Recluse's army and continued on to new scientific endeavors, while Arachnos using his work began mass producing a whole new breed of soldiers based on their Crab and Bane Spiders...

Fragile alliances

After his work with Arachnos was finished he continued searching for ways to improve on his initial design, His search lead him to an old friend and colleague Doctor Creed, A fellow exile of S.E.R.A.P.H. Creed was all to happy to help spit in the face of the "narrow minded fools at Freedom Corp." in his exact words, Through a few of Creed's contacts they managed to find cloning facility controlled by Crey Industries, It was quite easily taken over but in poor condition to begin working, When he was approached by Leonard Simons of Mane Corp who offered him funding for the facility, The offer was a gracious one which made Eric suspicious, He accepted the offer but only fed them false research keeping his scientific breakthroughs to himself until he could be sure of their intentions, now he and Creed had access to a limitless number of test subjects and an inexhaustible amount of funding, as long as he can keep Mane Corp. under his boot he will finally be able to complete his work...
