🗽 Scene 1: Seven Years Ago – New York City
A rainy alley. Sirens wail. A man named Darius Venn, a petty thief, sprints from a jewelry store, clutching a duffel bag. He dives into his rusted car, tires screeching.
Police lights flash. A bullet rips through the windshield—Darius is shot in the shoulder. He crashes into a dumpster.
As he bleeds out, a van pulls up. A man in a lab coat steps out—Dr. Malrick, a rogue scientist obsessed with pain thresholds.

Darius is kidnapped.

🧪 Scene 2: The Experiments – Six Years of Hell
In a hidden lab beneath the Hudson River, Darius is tortured, injected, and reprogrammed. His body is rebuilt with neural amplifiers. His soul is fractured and stitched with dark energy.
He learns to project pain—emotional, physical, even spiritual. He can make people relive their worst memories, feel phantom wounds, or collapse from grief.
He escapes the lab six years later—no longer Darius.
He is now Pain.
