January 1940.
15 year old Arthur Fox enters the recruitment office for the united states military. He approaches the desk of the first recruiter he sees, A tall, dapper gentleman typing away at a type writer.
"Excuse me, sir..." Arthur says.
"What can I do for you, son?" The recruiter asks.
"Well, there seems to be a mistake. See, I ain't been called to draft yet and I was wondering why." Arthur says. The recruiter stops what he is doing and turns to look at the boy.
"Son, how old are you?" The recruiter asks.
"I'm 18 years old sir!" Arthur says, lying through his teeth
"See If I was to guess I would say 15 or 16. I mean your a big kid but your voice gives it away son" The recruiter says.
"Listen, mister, I am 18 years of age, now I'm telling you...."
"Son, I don't have time for games. You are John Fox's kid. I know you. I knew your daddy too, real well. We were in drill together when we were bout 18 or 19, so I knew him a real long time. I am sorry about what happened to him son, he died for his country and he is very respected for that."
"You knew my father, then you know he died. Did you know my mom killed herself shortly afterwards? That makes me an orphan, mac. I have no family, no home to go to. I have nothing. I'm a mutt running around town rummaging through garbage while my goddamned country is at war! A war my father died in. I want in. My fathers death wasn't for nothin, ya hear me? I want to help win this war!
"Your name is Arthur right?" The recruiter asks.
"Yeah...." Arthur responds
The recruiter pulls the paper out of the type writer, puts a new one in and starts typing...
"Arthur Fox, 18 years of age, welcome to the US Army. You have 24 hours left as a civillian..." He says
July 4th, 1945
21 year old Arthur Fox is grilling burger out in his backyard. He has a wonderful home, a beautiful wife and a new career as an inventor, specializing in traps and locks. All is as it should be for Arthur, having served almost 5 years in World War 2. Though Arthur can't help put feel a range of emotions. Adapting to civilian life has been hard and he often feels guilt for the countless lives he took.
As Arthur flips a burger, his wife Lucy turns the radio up.
"Arthur, Honey, listen to the radio, that bad guy The Goblin King has robbed another bank!
"Ladies and Gentlemen Of Lost Haven, the maniacal Goblin King has struck again, robbing Lost Haven First National Bank. This time, the villan killed 2 civillians, 1 security guard, one police officer and all 3 of his own men." The Radio announcer says.
"Somebody need to stop that guy...." Arthur says.
"Everyone who tries ends up dead." Lucy says.
Later That Night
While his wife sleeps, Athur Fox is hammering away at something in his basement. It looks like a sort of belt, a utility belt fitted with secret compartments and accessories.
He dissapears into the back of the basement for a bit, and then returns wearing the first ever, all original Red Specter outfit.
"Okay Goblin King. Looks like your about to make a new friend...."
December 2010, now.
an 86 year old Arthur Fox rummages through old photographs of him as The Red Specter. He comes across a picture of him and his wife Lucy, who has since passed away.
"I've got work to do" Chelsea Fox, the NEW Red Specter says as she approaches her Grandfather, fully costumed.
"Damn it Chelsea, I thought you said you would cut back on this crap" Arthur pleas.
"And I thought you said you would quit being a hypocrite, Grandfather" she replies.
"I'VE LOST EVERYTHING, Chelsea! Your mother, your grandmother, I almost lost you and damn it I don't want to loose you too!
Chelsea grabs the remote and turns on the channel 8 news. Arthur immediately pays attention to the shocking development in progress.
"We take you live now to our on the scene correspondent Jan McLaine" The anchor woman says."
"
Thanks Debbie. We are outside the old Neptune Chemical factory in lower Lost Haven, where apparently drug lords have apparently been producing large quantities of a dangerous new drug called "Fire Water" which has already killed 6 Lost haven teenagers in the past 3 days.
Earlier today, LHPD attempted a raid but those working for the drug tirades over powered the officers and killed 3 officers. Officer Dan DiBanko, 32 years old, Officer Kevin Littel, 24 years old, and officer Hatish Patel, 47. There is currently a stand off, but a possible hostage situation as it's said that there are two children in the building. No known details have been released yet on who these children belong to or why they are in a drug lab, but we expect to have those details soon" The reporter says.
As soon as Arthur turns around, it's too late. The Red Specter has already left.
"Damn it Chelsea, NO!"
The Red Specter jumps on her bike, her Cherry Red Kawasaki Ninja 250r

Chelsea drives down the city streets, street lights and moonlight provides her path, though she is going so fast that all the bright city lights are a multicolored blur.
"My name is Chelsea Fox. I am 21 one years old, and I am currently in college and by night, I am the current incarnation of the superhero known as The Red Specter. My grandfather was the first Red Specter. The 2nd Red Specter, well I don't know much about him other than that he died after a few months on the job, killed by the first Red Specters arch nemesis, The Goblin King, who also killed my mother and grandmother. I'm the 3rd Red Specter, been trained for the job since I was 12 years old, by the original Red Specter and I have only been doing this for 4 months but I like to think I am doing a good job. I keep a low profile and haven't established any enemies, yet.
I was about 3 years old when my mother was killed, So my grandfather Arthur has been taking care of me ever since. He's done a damn good job too. He wanted me become the Grade-A badass Ass Kicker so that I would never be a victim like the other women in my family. But now that I have the skills and resources to be a Hero, he doesn't want me to. Go figure.
I'm ahead of either of the first 2 Red Specters on the technology curb, But thats the perks of surviving an alien invasion, you find all types of neat toys in the battlefield like Muscluar Density Accelerators that reduce your fatigue and conserve your physical energy, or a Molecule Destbilizer that allows you to walk through walls, or really sweet gauntlets that enhance your physical strength by 10x. Yeah, I have all that stuff. All my toys are what keeps me walking the line between costumed vigilante and powerful super hero.
Or whatever you want to call me. I do what I do so that no one else has to go through what I went through as a child. Children shouldn't loose their parents, Parents shouldn't loose their children. This town is filthy, it was so rotten that it took an Alien Invasion, survived, and is still filthy. I need to do something about it. And now is as good a time as any..."
Chelsea's Motor Cycle comes to a stop outside the Neptune Chemical Factory.
The Red Specter runs around the back of the building, remaining in the shadows and evading the police. She pulls out her grappling gun and scales the adjacent biding. Upon reaching the top, she runs to the edge and pulls out her zip line, arriving atop the Neptune Chemical Plant without being detected. She opens the top hatch on the roof and slides into the building through the ceiling. Near her, two gunmen are heading her way up the stairs. She backs up a little and disappears into the darkness and waits for them.
"Anyway, I told her I didn't care what time of the month it was. I got towels, heh heh" Gunman #1 says.
"Aw your a sick f**k you know that man?" The second one responds. As they pass her, The Red Specter steps out of the shadows and smashes their skulls together, knocking them out.
"Heh, That was easy." She says as she begins to walk downstairs to the 2nd level. As she comes around the corner, she ducks and covers before the 35 thugs on the 2nd level can see her.
"S**t, that's alot of bad guys. Okay, here goes..."
She throws a pair of smokebombs in the room and everything gets very foggy very quickly.
[YT]N_y_Y9IxDwc[/YT]
Into the smoke, The Red Specter darts in and begins fighting the goons. She delivers a hard elbow to one guys temple and almost kills him, almost, the a stiff shin to the throat of the nearest assailant. She headbutts the next one, shattering all of his teeth, before turning around breaking the next thugs nose and kicking him in the groin. She evades a gunshot from one thug who accidentally shoots and kills another thug in the process. The Red Specter does a leaping for arm smash to the gunman and within the same swift motion turns around and roundhouse kicks 2 approaching assailants at once. 2 thugs with swords come at the Red Specter full swing, as she is using her gauntlets to block all there strikes, she moves out of the way as they both lung and stab each other in the chest, both men killing each other. The thugs all go crazy with rage and begin shooting the entire place, disregarding each others own safety. The Red Specter uses her molecular destabilizer and all the ensuing bullets pass right through her as if she isn't even there and she watches as the remaining gunman, still blinded by smoke, all shoot each other to death. As the smoke clears, The Red Specter is surrounded by about 30 corpses and 5 half dead ones fighting to survive.
She heads downstairs where she sees two children being held hostage by a large man with thick black hair.
"Get back! I'll kill them!" He says to the Red Specter as he puts a gun to the little boys head.
"Who's children are those" She asks as she stands down.
"They are mine. This whole operation was mine too, and someone f****king snitched, someone ruined everything I have!" He said.
"And now you are going to kill your children? What is wrong with you, man? She asks.
"I'm serious, you b**tch! Get back!" he says as he points the gun to her.
"Listen, let's talk this over. I have killed all your men, you can go on to keep you life if you just let your children go" she says.
The gunman shoots The Red Specter in the head, but as she is still in "Shift" mode the bullet goes right through her and she just smiles, right before leaping towards, twisting his hand and turning his gun on himself. She pushes the gunmans hand further so that his gun is now in his mouth.
"I could kill you right now. It would be so easy...."
''Please lady, don't kill our day!" One of the children cries.
"F**ck" The Red Specter says. She belts the criminal in the face with her gauntlet and breaks his jaw, knocking him unconscious.
As the police bust into the Chemical Plant, The Red Specter ziplines up the building and exits right in the nick of time....
