(StoryBuilding)

Back-story: Born of a Russian farther and a British mother, Stephen is happy, in a perfect life with his wife, planning kids. He works as a pilot for the local airport, and planned on flying her from London to New York as a surprise on Valentine’s day, only to hit a surprise storm, causing the plane to crash. His wife died on impact, and he was horrifically injured, being rushed to hospital and having some major bones and half of his face replaced by metal, giving him almost superhuman strength and resilience.

Plot: Stephen becomes really reserved and angry, only speaking to his mother, who he now lives with in New York, as his hometown brings back haunting memories. He works as a security guard at a night club, and spends his days at home to himself. Nobody knows of his strength and resistance, he is almost bullet proof. One night whilst working, he meets a man, Windsor, who was starting fights in the middle of the club. Throwing him out, Windsor reveals that he isn’t normal either, and in fact has the ability to control wind. The two make a truce that they will try to help the city, almost like super heroes, although they have a mutual dislike. The dilemma begins when Stephen discovers that it was Windsor who caused the storm when he first received his powers, as he didn’t know how to control them. The two argue, fight, and go their separate ways, until one of the major drug lords wants the two dead.
