Kyle's father was a hunter for HSI, exterminating humans who had demonstrated unique powers. This job required much travel abroad, and Kyle and his mother were dragged everywhere, sometimes it was weeks, months, even years. After Kyle's sixteenth birthday, Kyle's father was hunting a target thought to be in China. While there, Kyle was enrolled in a Kung Fu Academy, "Prepping you to join dear old dad when you're ready," was what his father had said. Kyle showed an amazing Aptitude for the martial arts, and his instructors acknowledged this fact, and not aware of their father's profession, agreed to train Kyle in the art of using Chi. It would be three years of training before his father's target would finally fall, in this time, Kyle would master the art of Chi. Capable of amplifying his physical abilities to near super-human, as well as releasing it, manifesting it as pure energy. In the years to follow Kyle would study various other combat disciplines, under orders from "Dear old Dad". Kyle would quickly improve, however, he also developed an unhealthy blood lust, seeking out conflict with other students whenever the opportunity would arise. While Kyle would keep his supernatural ability concealed for a short time. He would be discovered shortly after being employed by HSI, though his abilities weren't considered powers, instead, his superiors decided to deem them skills, that could be useful later, as they weren't built into his genetic make-up. While the hunt for super humans has died down, Kyle still retains his employment, with HSI hiring him out to various military powers as a mercenary.
