History

Monolith was born in the backwoods of Oklahoma to on-the-lam criminal parents, who were hiding in an abandoned toxic waste dumping site. His mother died in childbirth, for which his father never forgave him. Monolith's early years were marked by abuse and neglect. When he was 10, his father was killed in a shoot-out with the FBI. He became a ward of the court and was placed in a special federal orphanage for "special" children. There he grew to maturity and vowed to use his special abilities to help the less fortunate and downtrodden. When he turned 18. Monolith moved to Los Angeles, joined the Renegades, and became sanctioned by the state of California as a state police officer. When not fighting evil, he makes frequent charity campaign appearances, especially for organizations that help children.
