Background
A semi-rogue government research program codenamed PROJECT NIGHTSKY. They had a deal during the ‘Mourning War’ (two alien races had a throwdown on earth, one side helped us the other tried to enslave us) the ‘good’ aliens provided a bio-engineered organ, similar to a heart, that pumped a bizarre hormone which reacted strongly to human physiology.
I was implanted with the alien heart, gaining incredible powers, and fighting alongside standard soldiers and earth’s heroes to try and end the war. Unfortunately, our allies suffered a tragic loss just after we pushed the ‘bad’ aliens off of earth. So that ended any more help from them.
(Unknown to me)
NIGHTSKY is still experimenting with a synthetic version of the alien hormone, however some unknown quality of the alien heart helps to regulate Sentinel’s powers because their other subjects exposed to the hormone have become monsters with bizarre mutations called Husks.

They all have one or two powers similar to Sentinel’s, but they are all monstrously deformed, and very violent.
(/ unknown to me)
I’m still a soldier in the military, I’ve recently gained the rank of Captain, and I’m on Semi-Permanent assignment with STRIKE, a paramilitary enforcement and protection agency tasked with monitoring powered individuals all over the world.
I joined the military to make a difference, I agreed to NIGHTSKY because I wanted to protect my world, being a superhero is just doing the same job I always have, just doing it for the whole world now. I like to think my team believes something similar.
When our team first came together…
We defeated a dangerous enemy. Who or what was it?

You’re kind of gruff. Give your love and rival influence over you, but that’s it.
