This is the story of the world's greatest hero,Wildfire. Wildfire was a normal American teen (named Jon) from a middle class family. He was a member of a Boy Scout troop, and he went camping often. During his freshman year of high school he went on a backpacking camp-out in Ocala National Forest with his Boy Scout troop. After hiking 11 miles they set up camp for the night. They noticed smoke in the distance, but they thought that the fire was far enough away, and would not be of any danger to them. Once the sun went down they could see a hazy orange glow on the horizon from the forest fire. When they went to bed there was a strong breeze coming from the west the same direction as the blaze. Suddenly they awoke in the early morning hours to the sound of crackling, the wind had pushed the fire to the camp-site. All the boys in the troop ran to the nearby lake and jumped in the water. Unfortunately, Jon was surrounded by the fire and unable to make it to the water. The flames pushed their way toward him, and he began to fear for his life. As the flames began to lick and engulf his body he realized his skin was not burned. After the fire died down his friends found him, and he was fine. The troop leaders were relieved, but they were baffled by the fact that he was unharmed by the flames. An hour later a forest fire fighter found them, and radioed for a helicopter to take the boys to the nearest hospital. After receiving a clean bill of health Jon went home, and experimented with his powers. He found out that he could shoot fire from his hands, and manipulate the flames with his mind. From then on he was known as Wildfire.
The life altering force that I used in this story is sheer chance. This was chance because without that fire he would have never found out about his power.
The Superhero origin has 3 kinds of life altering experences. The 1st is trauma, the 2nd is destiny, and the 3rd is chance.
