THE TIN FOILER
The Tin Foiler's Back Story
Jake by day,
The Tin-foiler by night:
Both Jake’s parents worked as tin miners. He spent most of his childhood there. One day a group of 5 people wearing all black barged in yelling “get down” as they whirled their guns around in the air. He quickly ran back to his parents. They all hide in the corner of the mine hoping not to be spotted, but as the 5 men began to leave, Jake bumped in to the storage cabinet behind him. This made a huge crash, causing the men to quickly turn around. There was no way they were getting out of this. Jakes parent pushed him towards where the tin was healed he ran and was barely able to make it to the storage area. He stayed there for 2 days before emerging and finding no sign of his parents. As he screamed he begins to realize it sounded different. He realizes he had new weird powers and vowed the rest of his life to finding his parents. He has been searching for them ever since as he fights crime around his hometown in Malaysia, but still he keeps his hideout as that same tin mine to remind him what he is doing it all for.
