In the bustling metropolis of Earth 77’s Empire City, Nathanial Toomes was an assistant district attorney dedicated to upholding justice and fighting crime. His career took a dangerous turn when he stumbled upon evidence suggesting a Krasnaya Imperiya Watch Soldier was colluding with the city’s powerful mob. Determined to expose this unholy alliance despite the risk to his own life in doing so, Nathanial fearlessly delved into the investigation, uncovering a web of corruption that threatened to consume the entire city.
One fateful night, as Nathanial left his office, he became the target of a well-orchestrated ambush. Caught off guard, he found himself caught in a hail of bullets. The shots pierced his body, inflicting fatal wounds. As Nathanial lay on the cold pavement, teetering on the precipice of death, an extraordinary event unfolded.
A bolt of Alpha Energy, an otherworldly force capable of granting incredible powers, streaked across the sky. In a moment of cosmic convergence, it struck Nathanial’s lifeless body, infusing him with its immense power.
Seven days after his tragic murder, Nathanial defied death itself. Rising from his grave, he discovered he had been reborn as Gravegun, a spectral avenger driven by an insatiable thirst for justice. Embodying the spirit of vengeance, he vowed to exact retribution upon those responsible for his grisly demise.
Gravegun’s newfound powers were formidable. With each step, his spectral form resonated with Alpha Energy, granting him incredible fortitude, a brace of ethereal firearms, and the ability to travel from one place to another in an instant. The echoes of his once-human voice carried an eerie resonance, instilling fear into the hearts of evildoers.
Driven by his relentless pursuit of justice, Gravegun embarked on a mission to eliminate the Krasnaya Imperiya Watch Soldiers and mobsters who had orchestrated his assassination. He stalked the shadows, striking fear into the hearts of his enemies as he unraveled their nefarious schemes. With each target eliminated, he cut another thread of the web of corruption that ensnared Empire City. The revenant became an embodiment of justice, a relentless force that stood against the forces of evil and tyranny, forever known as the spirit of vengeance.
During his crusade, Gravegun caught the attention of Colonel Glory, the veteran leader of the Glory Guard resistance fighters. Recognizing the potential in Gravegun’s unwavering resolve and supernatural abilities, Colonel Glory extended an invitation to join forces. Gravegun accepted, becoming an integral member of the Glory Guard.
