After an accident at a nuclear power plant, University professor Dr. Martin Stein and student Ronnie Raymond are locked in with a nuclear reactor. The reactor exploded, bombarding them with tonnes of nuclear energy. After the explosion Stein and Raymond were presumed dead until one day they awoke but no longer separate, the two were almost combined as one single entity. Not only as one entity, but they eventually discovered that the two of them had special abilities bought on by the reactor explosion. Stein's old partner Danton Black was also hit with this nuclear radiation from the explosion. However he was in a coma for a very limited amount of time, until he finally awoke to discover he also had developed abilities. The ability to clone himself and be in multiple places at once. Whilst Stein was 'dead' he discredited his name and toom all of his idea for his own, becoming one of the most famous scientists in the US. Now that Stein is back he wants revenge on Black.
