(This is the first part in what I hope to become a series, I hope you enjoy the back story behind this new tale)
Sydney was famous for its pristine harbour, its beautiful scenery and amazing flora and fauna. In recent time, the budding nightlife had grown into quite an industry and Sydney was the envy of the partying world. Unfortunately this had instigated certain unscrupulous characters to take root in the city.
Drugs, sex and booze where the new exports of Sydney; the face of the beautiful harbor city was being eroded by the decay of corruption.
The crime rate kept rising, the lacklustre police force was unable to make a dent in the new criminal element which was emerging, the war on the streets was being lost to the emerging gangs and there was nothing that anybody could do about it.
Until Brother Titan came.
It was a day no different from any other, when they first saw him.
Along the city skyline; leaping from one building to another with amazing speed and grace, flew Brother Titan.
The media had a field day with the report; they didn't know what to make of it. Was this caped man some psychopath who had escaped from a mental institution? Was he actually leaping from building to building?
The answer came sooner then they expected; the mysterious man caught three men in the middle of an attempted bank robbery.
The bank manager had sold the footage from the security camera for a cool two hundred thousand dollars; the news station which purchased it, considered it a bargain.
The footage was replayed so often that it dominated the airwaves, the first real life superhero to ever emerge.
The robbers all emerged into the bank, guns waving and demanding cash from the teller. The banks side window shattered a moment later and in leapt Brother Titan.
In one fluid motion, he fired a net from a contraption on his wrist and the robbers were pinned to the ground.
A few words were spoken from his lips "I Brother Titan have come to fight crime".
Northing more, nothing less was spoken.
The picture of Brother Titan, the bright blue armour that encased his body except for the golden trim, which covered his abdomen.
Clearly he wore something underneath which bulked up his already built form and scientists theorised that it was Kevlar.
The helmet that covered his face was similar to the one that the famed Athenian hero Achilles wore; it covered most of the face but allowed his eyes to be visible at all times. Unfortunately for the public, it did a very good job of disguising his identity.
From that day onward, whenever crime took place it was generally accompanied by the arrival of Titan and his continued success by using more and more ingenious devices.
Everything from nets, foam and even some sort of stun gun were at his disposal, he was truly a versatile superhero.
The media were lapping up the story and continued to feed the frenzy, they encouraged rumours of Brother Titan being a superhuman beast and capable of things which ranged from flight to telekinesis.
The police also felt that it was their responsibility to condemn the vigilante tactics of Brother Titan and his behaviour, stating that it was irresponsible for any citizen to take the law into his own hands.
The truth was that they were only too happy to have Brother Titan at their side, the honest police who were not on the payment of the criminal element knew that Titan was the key to shifting the tide.
Crime had a new enemy and the law had a new trump card, a card by the name of
Brother Titan.
