The Puma's History

Eric Wheeler was born on March 10th, 2006 to Martha and James Wheeler. Sometime in 2021, Wheeler went on a field trip to the zoo in order to study the anatomy of the Puma. However, Wheeler accidentally falls into the pit and continues to fight off the Puma after it attempted to maul him. After pushing the Puma into his cave, Wheeler is bitten on his forearm and faints from the bite wound. While at the hospital, Wheeler wakes up and discovers that his bite wound had already healed a few seconds after he was bitten. Wheeler discovers that he had gained the powers of the Puma after it bit him. Wheeler's powers allowed him to run at immense speeds, lift and support about 300,000 tons, endure most forms of harm (ex: firearms, piercing attacks, extreme cold and heat temperature, exposure to all forms of radiation and other superpowers), leap from great distances, sense his surroundings in the dark, sense others by their heat signatures, traverse steep surfaces, hear everything within a hundred mile radius and retract titanium claws that can severely wound his foes and enemies.
