Editing CLOCKWORK (section)

==History & Heroic Origin==
News clipping from two years ago-

"A tremendous explosion echoed among the Olympic Mountains.  The thunder that rolled across the countryside was caused by a meteorite slowing to the sound barrier.  The impact on Mt Seattle decimated four square miles but caused only two casualties due to the sparse population; Dr James Price and David Price.  James was rescued by helicopter and is in critical condition, whereas his brother David is missing."

David was never found.  Although not expected to live, James made a miraculous recovery.  He spent the remainder of the summer searching the area for his brother or at least his remains.  Shortly after this James's meta-human traits began to surface.  In another cruel twist of fate, he made a desperate decision to save a patient's life that caused him to lose his medical license.  Using 'powers' is a violation of protocol regardless of the outcome.

James found himself living and working in Rust City.  Most find the area a dangerous and unsavory place to be, let alone live.  But James came to know that it has its charm.  There is no disputing it's crime or lack of law enforcement.  But along the northwest edge of Rust City is where some of Seattle's finest dance halls naturally developed.  Sandwiched between the civility of Seattle and the racy adult entertainment of Rust City, this small district took an art deco, 1930's feel.

It was during this time that he assumed the identity of Clockwork for the first time.  Building a sort of trust with the local criminal element, James works as a bartender at the Painted Lady.  He always keeps his ear to the ground.  James keeps Clockwork at a low profile, rarely acting directly against the local gangs and crime lords.  Too much for one man, besides there is always plenty of other thugs to keep life interesting.

* '''Origin''':  Within the meteor was an ancient alien artifact.  Made of two components, the "control" module fused with James. Hid in his chest, it is only detectable as an extra organ of unknown purpose.  James is totally unaware of this.
