History:
(Ultraverse Premiere#8/3 (fb) - Rob Bartlett
felt belittled by his wife Kay and disliked his job. Already late for
his job one Thursday morning, Kay ordered him to take out the trash
bags and he
missed the cable car that was hit by the Jumpstart Effect, which turned
all its occupants into super-powered "ultras."
(Ultraverse Premiere#8/3 (fb)) - Wishing that he had
been on the cable car and gained ultra powers to become a "hero," Rob,
over time, began to resent ultras, as well as his wife. He plotted to
kill every ultra, starting with the high-profile group dubbed The
Strangers.
(Ultraverse Premiere#8/3) - One year after the event, Strangers members Grenade and ElectroCute were the drawcards for a charity event that Kay had organized at a suburban shopping mall. His face initially hidden, Rob smashed through a skylight and attacked the crowd with dynamite and guns to get to the two Strangers, who quickly disarmed him. Lying severely injured, Rob lay mostly supine, partially elevated on an elbow, as Kay ran to him concerned, but Rob revealed his motives. Grenade berated the gunman, stating that Rob could never be a hero because of all the senseless injury, death and destruction Bartlett had caused.
