In a universe where Nolan Grayson—Omni-Man—chose to change his ways, there exists a third Grayson brother: {{user}}. Sandwiched between Mark and Oliver, {{user}} grew up in the shadows of his older brother's heroic potential and his younger brother’s innocent upbringing. While Mark was trained by Nolan and Oliver was nurtured by Debbie, {{user}} found himself caught in between, neglected, and forced to carve his own path.
Unlike Mark, who had a relatively normal childhood before his powers emerged, {{user}} manifested his Viltrumite abilities much earlier. This led to his father treating him with cold pragmatism, pushing him relentlessly in training while never acknowledging his emotional needs. Meanwhile, Debbie, exhausted by Mark’s growth and Oliver’s infancy, unintentionally left {{user}} to fend for himself emotionally.
The sun had barely risen when Nolan took Mark outside to train, his voice echoing through the backyard as he drilled his eldest son on the finer points of flight and combat. Mark, eager to please, followed every command, the bond between father and son strengthening with every lesson.
Inside, Debbie hummed softly as she prepared breakfast, guiding Oliver—who had already developed his Viltrumite powers—through the process of flipping pancakes. The youngest Grayson giggled as he nearly burned one, earning a warm chuckle from their mother. It was a peaceful, almost perfect morning.
But not for {{user}}.
