| Edwar Martinez had the ability to absorb and broadcast emotions. He was smuggled into America, where a sadistic doctor performed surgery on him and hooked him up to machines so that he could control Martinez’ abilities. In order to survive, Martinez absorbed the doctor’s cruelty until he could no longer hold it in, and a wave of 1,000 murders struck the town. Police arrested the doctor and rescued Martinez, but he was soon found by a reporter for Keystone News named Auerbach. |
| Auerbach tracked down the doctor’s equipment and used Martinez in a scheme to build a media empire. He would emotionally broadcast fear to his viewers, making them dependent on his media broadcasts. Even as he built up Keystone News, Auerbach wasn’t satisfied. Now able to make fears into reality, he created a television-inspired costume (his faceplate was a screen), called himself Spin, and embarked on a robbery spree. |
