Carson Bohmer's life has been shaped by trauma, secrets, and a constant battle for control. Born into a broken family, Carson's formative years were filled with violence, neglect, and confusion, largely due to the influence of his father, Dr. Theodore Bohmer. His father, a man obsessed with power, conducted horrific experiments on both himself and his family, pushing Carson to the edge of madness.

From a young age, Carson witnessed his father’s twisted experiments, causing severe anxiety and sleep terrors that plagued him for years. As the experiments grew more grotesque, Carson's mind began to fracture. He saw things no child should ever see—his father’s cold ambition and the dehumanizing treatment of those around him, all in the name of "progress." The trauma of these events left Carson mentally scarred, and he developed an intense fear of the world around him. He was tormented by vivid nightmares, where his deepest fears would manifest in the form of monstrous creatures and people he loved turning against him. His anxiety would keep him up at night, eyes wide open, unable to escape the haunting visions.

Despite these inner struggles, Carson was a fighter. With the help of his inner strength, he managed to survive his turbulent home life, even as his father's obsession grew more dangerous. The tipping point came when Carson finally realized that he was nothing more than a pawn in his father’s sick experiments. In a desperate attempt to escape the horror of his home, Carson ran away and eventually fell into a new world—one filled with even more danger and betrayal.

His powers came to him under violent circumstances. After a horrific confrontation with his father and his family, Carson was subjected to an experimental serum that granted him powers beyond his control. At first, the newfound abilities overwhelmed him, but soon he learned to harness them. He could teleport anywhere, move with superhuman strength, and manipulate shadows as though they were extensions of his own body. But the most chilling power he discovered was his ability to delve into the minds of others, to peer into their deepest fears, and bring those fears to life. Whether it was the fear of failure, of loss, or of monsters lurking in the dark, Carson had the terrifying power to manifest those fears in a tangible form, using them to torment or even destroy his enemies.

As Carson’s powers grew stronger, so did his resolve to confront his past. But with each step forward, he was reminded of the terrifying hold his father still had on him. His father’s twisted need for control and power hung over him, and Carson’s obsession with avenging his past became all-consuming. Yet, despite his immense strength and abilities, Carson remained emotionally numb. The trauma of his past had made him incapable of love or trust. He pushed others away, believing that emotions were a weakness he could not afford to indulge in.

But Carson’s true battle was not just against the forces of darkness that surrounded him, but against the darkness within himself. His fears, nightmares, and anger would often manifest in the real world, challenging him to face not only his enemies but his own inner demons. His powers—the fear manipulation, teleportation, and shadow bending—were powerful tools, but they came with a cost. The fear he created in others would often circle back to him, amplifying his own terror and anxiety. As he grew, Carson found himself haunted by the question: Could he ever escape the fear that had defined his life, or was he doomed to live in its shadow forever?

Despite his cold exterior, Carson was not without allies. Over time, he found people who shared his goals, people who understood the trauma he’d endured. But deep down, Carson struggled with his greatest weakness: love. He had pushed so many people away, believing that to care for anyone was to risk becoming vulnerable. Love, to him, was the greatest threat of all, and yet, he could not help but feel the tug of connection when faced with those who reminded him of the life he might have had if he weren’t so consumed by fear and hatred.

Carson's journey was one of self-discovery, vengeance, and ultimately redemption. Would he succumb to the darkness, or would he find a way to use his powers for something greater than revenge? That was the question that haunted him as he navigated a world that seemed to be constantly shifting beneath his feet.
