Born in Sacramento,CA, Tyler Wells grew up with his parents as an only child. Even though they were poor, his father wanted him to have the best of educations and therefore worked hard to afford the best schools. Due to different circumstances, Tyler never got the chance in the US of A, but instead his big break came when his father was transferred to an office in London with a substantial raise in pay. The whole Wells family moved to the old Kingdom and planned their new life. One day, when 17 year old Tyler followed his father to a presentation of a new particleaccelerator. Tyler, soon growing bored of the differnt theories behind it's function wandered around, and accidentaly stumbled into the controlchamber. Against better knowledge he altered some of the parameters. At the same time the demonstration started and disaster was at hand. The accelerator became uncontrollable and soon the spectators were evacuated. That is, all but one. Noticing that something was wrong Tyler tried to find his father again, but when he got to the place where his father had been nobody was there, and the place seemed to hum and glow faintly. Tyler would propbly have died if it wsn't for his latent metahuman genes which was activated. Without a thought he seared through the hall and flew through an open window fast enough for no one to notice him. Somehow he instinctively knew what he had become and he flew farther and farther away from earth. Soon he reached the moon, where he decided it would be safe to test his powers. He stayed there for an hour before he went back to earth and London, where he told his worried father that he went for a hamburger and then got lost. A couple of days later London saw it's first apperance of it's new superhero, Optigon. Tyler feels very good about being what he has become, and don't keep his identity secret (even though he doesn't shout it out loud either). This results in a lot of showing of with his abilities. He also uses them without thought many times (like if he enters a dark room, he lightens it up without thinking about it) In combat he uses a combination of speed and laserbeams to subdue a foe. Combining this with darkness, flashes or boggling lighteffects makes Optigon a very hard and chalenging opponent for almost anyone.
