Gordon R. Douglass, an army brat raised on various bases throughout Alberta, spent his formative years in the greater Edmonton area, primarily Griesbach.
His military general father was killed in a terrible lab accident at a nanotechnology public/private partnership in downtown Edmonton.
Gord broke into the facility after the accident to destroy the lab and find out what happened to his father, and was seriously injured in his attempt.
His injury resulted in his body being infused with top-secret nanotechnology, giving him superpowers.
Gord was arrested for his actions and spent time in remand while recovering. He was eventually released to his mother Martha, in North Edmonton.
As The Alberta Advantage, he found purpose in protecting his neighborhood, and began honing his abilities on local north side gangs.
Gord and his mother were awarded a huge amount of money from the private company bankrolling the lab after the accident in exchange for never speaking about it publicly.

Professor Emeritus Brian Strom was a brilliant scientist and educator, diagnosed with a deadly DAMN [Degenerative Acquired Motor Neuron] disease.
Professor Strom, in partnership with the University of Alberta and Telus Health, heroically designed and built a state-of-the-art robotic mobile life support unit for his brilliant, majestic, and ultimately monetarily-valuable brain.
Though his own body withered and eventually died, via the melding of mind and machine Brian Strom was reborn as Brainstorm (due to a typo on some paperwork).
Though Dr. Brian Strom is legally dead, and therefore legally unemployable, Brainstorm still occasionally returns to the university as a guest lecturer.
Professors in the Psychology Department have suggested that, theoretically, the campus environment should help Brainstorm keep in touch with its tenuous sense of humanity; however, this remains to be seen.

Dr. Ankylos Soros, the widely known Greco-Canadian curator, was caught in a mysterious lab incident at The Royal Tyrrell Museum, six kilometres northwest of Drumheller, in Midland Provincial Park.
In addition to featuring one of the world’s largest displays of dinosaurs, The Royal Tyrrell Museum offers a wide variety of creative, fun, and educational programs that bring the prehistoric past to life. Despite all this, popular rumours swirl around the exact particulars of Dr. Soros’ curious mishap.
The suggestive phrase “pulling a boner” is frequently used by giggling colleagues at the museum, but further details are restricted by a government-imposed non-disclosure agreement.
Regardless, now Big Ank is imbued with the demonic scientific powers of geology & palaeontology, and can allegedly transform into an armored “ankylosaurus man.”

Doug Furlong’s legend did not begin in a secret lab or ancient temple. Somewhere off Highway 2, between Red Deer and existential dread, Doug was struck simultaneously by a Chinook wind, an oilfield flare, and a rouge hockey puck.
This resulted in him absorbing the elemental chaos of Alberta. Science refuses to comment. He woke up immune to cold, mildly annoyed by everything, and completely convinced that “doing your own research” solves everything.
Doug does not hate Alberta. Doug is disappointed in it, like family.
He respects the land. He distrusts the weather. He resents the phrase “at least it’s a dry cold.”
Doug Furlong did not become Chinook & Awe because Alberta made him special. Alberta made him ready. And mildly sarcastic. And impossible to impress. And deeply, deeply allergic to nonsense.
