[01:51] * ChanServ sets mode: +qo Doctopus Doctopus
[03:04] <~Doctopus> considering a possible superhero
[03:05] <~Doctopus> young man, gets hit by truck
[03:05] <~Doctopus> truck disloges small fragments of bone in his brain, which were severely impairing neural function
[03:05] <~Doctopus> begins to act erratic, going through blackout phases, periods of emotional instability, and muscle spasms over the course of a year
[03:06] <~Doctopus> each blackout heralds a burst of heightened intelligence
[03:06] <~Doctopus> (possible leaving notes for himself? alternate: rising intelligence post blackout, indications of even greater levels of intellect during amnesiac phases)
[03:08] <~Doctopus> his newfound smarts and time spent at a college library at his job allow him to diagnose a potentially fatal brain condition, overgrowth of neural tissue, muscle contractions indicators of primary phase of disease
[03:08] <~Doctopus> stress causes another blackout phase
[03:08] <~Doctopus> upon awakening, realizes he is less intelligent than he was before blackout, metal cuff on his wrist
[03:09] <~Doctopus> cuff injecting unknown chemical into his system, attempts to remove it prove fruitless, reveal heightened strength and durability
[03:10] <~Doctopus> using what little he remembers from his smart phase, and needing access to better equipment to diagnose himself, decides to start raiding superscience villain bases
[03:10] <~Doctopus> growing number of monsters and mutations in his area, complicating matters
[03:11] <~Doctopus> decided course of action, pose as superhero to help gain public trust and less questions asked about missing equipment in raids
[03:11] <~Doctopus> (possible shared cuffs on monsters? blackout-side cause of powers+monsters? no longer needs sleep, sleep phases actually other personality taking control?)
[03:12] <~Doctopus> alternates between science and smarts, using different levels of cuff to heighten strength and reduce intelligence, or vice versa
[03:13] <~Doctopus> (possible loss of cuff later on, dosing himself with different formulas? experimentation with other chemicals resulting in loss of other traits? [empathy, impulse control, anger management skills])
