Personal history

Viktor Sokolov was born in Russia to poor family, who suffered under the communist regime of the nation. His father died of alcohol poisoning when he was a boy, and that left him to take care of his sick mother by himself. Viktor discovered his innate powers when he was being targeted by a protection racket threatening to hurt his mother. His ability to generate electricity got the attention of Russia's government, who then drafted him into their top secret black ops team known as Meta Operations Force (MOF) in exchange for pension allowing him to take care of his mother.
In there, he underwent rigorous training, and has his body enhanced further via a special experimental procedure to make him a perfect operative. He was given the codename "Blackout". As a member of the MOF, he fought against rogue meta forces across the Soviet Union and suppressed rebel groups. One day, his squad ended up getting killed in battle, and he was critically injured. His body recovered, they patched him together with both cybernetic enhancements and regenerated his skin using the DNA of his fallen squadmates in a very painful process. He became a Frankenstein's Monster of the present day.
Blackout, driven to insanity by the memories, went rogue himself. He left Russia and began trying to suppress the pain and memories in any way he could. For that reason, he ended up turning to crime, funding his suppression desires to keep him living another day. Blackout often destroys anything is in his path, and works for the ones who pay him and can treat his condition.
