“When you manage to experience all that I have, both as a hero and as a dad, you’ll manage to overcome any sort of evil Arcadia throws at you.”
“Pandora’s box was opened many a millennia ago, and heroes like myself worked tirelessly to slay each and every one of their champions. Of course, I wasn’t just a hero. I was also a father that tried his damnedest to prevent my child from being afflicted by said evil.”
“Despite my best efforts on both fronts, the people that act upon malicious impulses managed to get the best of me and my family. I turned into the scarred man that you see before you.”
“I nearly succumbed to those evils myself. I almost allowed my rage and desire for vengeance to get the best of me and transform me into a mindless thug that only cared about getting even, no matter what the cost.”
“However, that rage quickly subsided as I almost gave in to despair, nearly letting Doom experiment me for all eternity. I was completely overtaken with grief over the death of Sarah, so I nearly accepted my fate as a guinea pig.”
“Had it not been for my boy rescuing me in the nick of time, I wouldn’t be here trying to find the bastards that attacked us and burned down our home.”
“I was given a reason to keep on fighting with James still being alive. I was given a reason to once again slay the champions of evil with my son and protect everyone else from falling into the same pit I did.”
“The same cannot be said for the people trapped in the cell with me. All five of my opponents are suffering from one form of evil that was unleashed upon Arcadia, and they’re just about ready to become champions of what they’re plagued with.”
“Cade and Vision have embraced their hatred towards people they once considered friends.”
“The officer, not getting the answers he wanted from a Nobody, decided to abandon any pretense of serving the law, trying to get even with his former companion, no matter what the cost.”
“The blind man, who had betrayed his best friend for the sake of completing his ascension to the Third Eye, now finds himself getting ready for war against him after Grimskull killed some of his followers in cold blood.”
“Foley embodies despair, once his former best friend betrayed him, he seemingly gave up trying to fight for the children and is trying his best to rekindle a flame that never existed in the first place.”
“As for Boswick and Jinx? They personify both hatred and hopelessness. One runs an organization that censors everything that he doesn’t agree with. Meanwhile, the hacker is in a battle against a hunter that involves Zeus, meaning she’s entering a battle she cannot win.”
“I have slain the champions of evil before. With a reason to keep fighting, I’ll show you why embracing evil will only get you burned.”
