Backstory
As a child, Kweku lost his parents in a tragic car accident. His extended family seized all his parents’ assets, abandoning Kweku at his grandfather’s remote village. His grandfather practiced a Native juju magic and gave Kweku tribal facial markings during a ritual meant to channel a spirit-god into the boy.
Over the years, Kweku realized he was developing strange powers after interacting with the supernatural force his grandfather had summoned. He found he could lift impossibly heavy objects and manipulate energy around him. Unsure of these frightening new talents, Kweku kept them secret.
When Kweku was 12, he met the twin demigods Yempew and Obimpe who claimed he was destined for greatness and could shake the foundations of the spirit world. Tempted by belonging, Kweku helped them steal a relic of power, but soon realized he had been manipulated.
Determined to make things right, Kweku joined forces with veteran heroes Nighteagle, Lithe Speed and the immortal Tohazie. During an epic battle against Yempew and Obimpe, Kweku’s full potential was unlocked, gifting him even greater powers.
