Background:
Milton Charles Garavon grew up with a life of pain and injury. His mother died giving birth to him and his father became an alcoholic to cope. His father was a functioning alcoholic though, so for years Milt suffered and wound up rebelling due to it. He wound up running with a crowd that gave him the power and respect he lacked at home. He ran with the wrong crowd for several years, doing whatever it took to survive on the streets and avoid going home for a beating. His life changed the day he turned seventeen and was part of a robbery gone bad.
Luckily for Milton, the judge took pity on the boy who had, according to all accounts of the witnesses just been an observer. As punishment, the boy was given a choice; the Military or Jail. Milt wisely chose joining the military and that put him on a fast track to success. After scoring in the top percentile of the military's aptitude tests during basic training, Milt was given an opportunity to work in the early stages of the DARPA exoskeleton research project, first as a test grunt, but then after pointing out a problem with the design and providing a solution, part of the design team. After four years in the military, Milt found himself on a fast-track to a degree in bio-mechanics and robotics. In college, Milt discovered that he had a unique (apparently) ability to visualize and see new uses for existing systems and even imagine adaptations and improvements at the same time.
After another four years, Milt had founded a new company (which he based in Green City for its advanced tech potential) specializing in bio-mechanical solutions for everything from disabilities to warehouse logistics. While working on the suit, Milt discovered, quite by accident, that he could shift items he was touching into an 'extra-dimensional closet' surrounding him. He discovered this when testing a new variation on an exoskeleton, one that Milton had in mind would assist deep sea salvage crews or rescuers in operations far beneath the waves. With a bit of refinement, Milton could see that the HADES suit (Human Augmentation Diving Enhanced System) had a lot of potential in several areas, the key was figuring out the right way to use it
