Servant

This is one of the Characters I created for DC Comics. Fortuanltely with just alittle tweeking of his backstory, he can work in almost any universe froth with superheroes. Incase you can't tell, his name was inspired by the author and pastor Joshua Harris. The basic idea for him came from Samson, the man born with superhuman strength.


Servant
Alter-ego: Joshua Harrison.

Origin Story: Joshua Harrison was born into a Christian family, and educated by his father, a former school teacher, for much of his childhood.  When he was 15, his parents were killed in a car crash. Tragically crushed by an out-of-control semi-truck.  The crash caused Joshua's miraculous, hidden powers to become active and therefore he survivesd the crash.  After the death of his parents, he was placed in a foster home with a Christian family. For a long time, Joshua struggled with the Christian teachings his parents had enstilled in him. He became rebelious and ran away from his foster family, trusting in his powers to help him survive. However, he soon became full of himself, and lost his powers. while in his state of weakness, he got into deep trouble and finally had to call out to God for help. His powers then returned and he now lives believing that his powers are a privilege to be used for serving God.
