Origins

Born Eduardo Costa, he was raised by two archeologists. This was an odd profession as they lived on an island nation that prides itself on technological advancements. His father, Hector Silva, born a poor Afro - Brazilian left Brazil at a young age to live in Vizkula where he met his wife, Daniela Costa. The pair would become respected archeologists and later have 3 sons. Their names were Luka, Estaban, and Eduardo. Since they were little Hector would always say " La Familia veine Primero" which means family comes first. Eduardo would take these words to heart and would one day go into the family business, as a way to honor his father after his fatal battle with Cancer.

During a contract restoration job in Brazil when he was 23, he was hospitalized by what he describes was the Light of Destiny. A blue light that struck the earth in two places. The first in Brazil directly on the site of the 6th Aztec temple and the site of the newly christened Devastation memorial in the southern United States

A Hero Rises

Months pass and Eduardo is still in the hospital from the accident.  The doctor tells the Costa family that bases on the wounds the are all over Ed's body they say he won't make it.  That night He is visited by a man with a golden face, and large black eyes. He says that he could help Eduardo. Fearing that he could be evil Eduardo declined the offer saying that if he dies today, at least he will see his father again.

Meanwhile, around the world, People were cheering for Canavin's defeat of Mad Man Domineo who had tried to destroy the world, a few months prior.  Canavin's orbiting Satelite base recorded the entire fight.  And after Frankie reviewed the video, he noticed that 3 consecutive shots fired from the devastator weapon bounced off of Canavin's sword before entering the earth's atmosphere. He summarized that two shots vaporized people and entire city blocks in both Brazil and another in the United States. The third shot disappeared over the Arctic circle.

On September 23rd of that year, Mad man Domineo escaped from his prison cell and began a desperate "run" toward the Mexican border. With A.I.A. agents in close pursuit.  He crossed over into Mexico and seemingly disappeared from radar. As if he suddenly disappeared.  A week had gone by and the doctors were meeting with the Costa family. They had just finished saying their goodbyes to Eduardo. At 10:37 pm the doctor pronounced Eduardo Silvio Costa dead. Several hours later the ground shook and the sea raised. Huge tidal waves formed and were headed for the shore. The people cried in fear for the waves were so massive that there was no use in running. They were doomed. Just before the wall of water struck, it stopped. Suddenly a greenish-blue aura surrounded the Island and shield emulated from a being floating above the Hospital. With large alien eyes like that of Canavin and skin as blue as the sea, this hero saved a nation.

The people cried out in admiration. The next day the shield lowered and the Black suit-clad officials of the A.I.A. arrived. They questioned the Costa family, But the Costa's had no clue what had happened. The A.I.A. took in the risen Eduardo. Later he was made an agent of the A.I.A. and the bio-suit to contain his powers. He is currently assigned to the Amazon rain forest to investigate the disappearances of tourists that ventured to close, to one of the 13 relics of the Roswell incident. 

The Island

Vizkula is a small technologically advanced satellite nation located off the coast of Venezuela in the Caribbean sea, it is close to Lake Maracaibo. This Lake was famous for the lightning storms that would cover the area. This impressive and dangerous lightning storm would initially strive on 300 days of the year, now reduced to a fraction of that. The Island nowadays is the host of this incredible lightning storm. The island is regarded by the people of the mainland as the Powercell of the Caribbean. Their ability to harness the impressive lightning storm in their energy silos and lightning rods has made the nation a great commodity for the neighboring nations.

Productivity seems to skyrocket when the Island's protector is on or around the island. The people believe that he is their Lightning rod and the children refer to him as Zip Zap.
