Despite his parents' respectable professions with his mom being a registered nurse (R.N.) and his father as a skilled tradesman, the family was primarily brought up in the low-income neighborhood of The Grove, a crime-ridden slum of Millennium City that was often ignored by both the city government and Mayor Biselle. The borough eventually became the home to many of Millennium City's lower-class citizens and local street gangs such as the Maniacs and the Black Aces. This overall mistreatment and lack of empathy towards the city's less fortunate residents made Darrell come to develop a certain disdain towards Millennium City's upper-class elites, such as James Harmon of Harmon Industries. Instilling within him a sense of hard work, merit, and dedication could get you to where you wanted to be, rather than to have it handed to you.<br>'''</center> |

As a nurse, she saw many of these same kids that were out on the streets one day would end up in the emergency room, in either critical condition or dead, from the "friends" they affiliated themselves with. It was tragedies such as this that made Janice stressed the importance of hard work, studying, and choosing your friends wisely.'''</center><br><br> |

His countless hours of computer time led to him developing an affinity for software development and programming, as noted by Janice, who would ultimately decided to sign Darrell up for a couple of computer classes at the local community center.

The two developed a quick friendship that would lead into them creating a malware called R4gn%r0k that was supposed to just be a pet project. Instead, Russell double-crossed Darrell and repurposed it as a zombie virus that could used to perform DDoS attacks against various computers and websites at once. He would later sell the R4gn%r0k malware to HaDoCk, a loose collective of script kiddie hackers known for their amoral exploits to steal and sell data to anyone who can pay them. Despite HaDoCk's reputation as red-hat hackers, the threat they were said to pose was incredibly minimal, instead it was the connections they made in the criminal underworld through their cybercrime contracts that made them a danger to those who dared to stick their nose too deep into their business.'''</center><br><br> | + | <center>'''It was at these classes that Darrell came to meet Russell Lyman, another young programmer like himself.

To go along with this attack, Darrell sent out a propaganda video to HaDoCk, calling them out as script kiddies and not being real hackers. With the time available to him, now that he had encrypted their network, Darrell took advantage of the opportunity to locate the R4gn%r0k program and destroy it. But thanks in part to his impatience and lack of better judgment, Darrell effectively started a "hacker war" between HaDoCk and eLite_Circuit.'''<br><br></center> |

This didn't stop Darrell, however, as he installed a backdoor to eLite_Circuit's computers, seeing something like this was going to happen and eventually learned that a meet-up was arranged at the Millennium City shipping yards between eLite_Circuit and HaDoCk in hopes of squashing their beef before anyone could get hurt or do something they might regret.'''<br><br></center> |

While HaDoCk "appreciated" the effort that was going into to restore their network, it didn't change anything between the two rivaling factions. Ultimately, HaDoCk brought out a device that they called the Polychoron. Not too much is known about the device other than that HaDoCk accepted it as payment from one of their contacts, who claimed it was "implosion engine" and designed to destroy matter from the inside out. Not long after this, HaDoCk activated the Polychoron with the goal of killing and putting an end to eLite_Circuit once and for all.'''</center><br><br><center>'''Shockingly, though, there was no immediate detonation but an incredibly loud whirling sound when the Polychoron was activated. Both factions were confused as to what exactly was going on, but before anyone could have time to do anything further, a large explosion engulfed the area surrounding them, Darrell included. In his last moments of consciousness, Darrell saw his ex-friends in eLite_Circuit were in pretty bad shape, while HaDoCk's members were no more and deceased. The Polychoron had detonated and resulted in a delayed explosion that killed every member of HaDoCk that was present, while mostly severely injuring Darrell and those of eLite_Circuit that was at the epicenter of the explosion.'''</center> |

Previously recognized as the lesser-known superheroes Golden Gizmo and The Machinist, respectively, the two have been life-long research partners affiliated with [[PRIMUS]]' Tech-Ops division for over 30 years now. Their last big project, before finally cutting ties with the organization, was to create a "time bomb" of sorts via the harnessing of hypothetical particles known as "Chronons". The reason for this was that it was theorized in a fixed but different point in space-time existed, a biosphere dubbed the Technosphere that was created because of humanity's achievements in the fields of science and technology. The working theory was that it was from this biome that the being known as [[Mechanon]] was born from and thus was the reason for it's hatred against humanity and organic life.'''</center><br><br><center>'''The Polychoron was the first and only working prototype to a device that could theoretically allow one to travel to the Technosphere and once arriving there, the individual could effectively erase or destroy the Technosphere from the inside-out and thus removing the Mechanon threat in its entirety. But PRIMUS forcefully took the Polychoron for "further studies", and it wound up getting lost in transport after a metahuman brawl caused for the transport truck to crash. The device has been missing ever since, until now. Its detonation released a wave of the same Chronon particles that Elmer and Eric had been studying for years. By the time they got there, though, Darrell was the only asset that could be recovered as his body was pulsating with Chrononic energy while the rest of his friends were nowhere to be found, implying that they survived as well.'''</center><br><br><center>'''Following this, Darrell was asked to stay with Dr. Bradley and Dr. Williams so they could watch Darrell's condition and see what changes could his body go through now that he's been exposed to Polychoron's bizarre energies — a request that Darrell reluctantly accepted.'''</center> |

In that timeframe, they had learned that Darrell can manifest Chronon particles in the physical world as "pixels", through these pixels, an electrical anomaly occurs that allows him to simulate technical faults and malfunctions on people and other real-world objects. Darrell was quick to dub this power "glitching" and came to master it rather quickly. While this was happening, the Millennium City News was reporting on the conditions of Eugene Hawkins, Ramsey Dominic, and Kristen Ladner also known as Trojan, Firewall, and Uplink of the vigilante hacktivist group, eLite_Circuit who were under careful PRIMUS surveillance following the explosion at the Millennium City shipping yard complex. During their time in PRIMUS custody, the young adults appeared to manifest strange pixels from their bodies, as if some sort of digital powers had awoken inside of them. They eventually escaped the facility PRIMUS was keeping them in, leaving countless dead bodies in their wake. Their current whereabouts are unknown.'''</center><br><br> |

Hesitant at first, as he believed himself to not be ready and could be killed, Darrell eventually agreed as he felt personally responsible for what happened to his former friends. Had his arrogance not gotten in the way of the mission at hand, neither of them would be in the situations they were in today. With that, Darrell threw together a makeshift costume, and, with the help of Eric, he designed a high-tech mask that would not only disguise his face and voice, but could also project his current facial expression in the form of emoticons on it's visor. With a costume and powers to boot, all he was missing was a name. While it was the most original one in the book, it did fit best for the powers he at his disposal and would be an excellent callback to his old screen-name. From that day forward, Darrell became known to the world as...'''</center> |
