Now though they observe that this body is stable, unlike his former body. 70% of his body cells, including brain cells, were already damaged before he was captured. The unknown people recognize he is awake, and that his lost cells have successfully been restored, though they don't believe any of his memories were saved. As he considers where he is, he takes notice of what the voices are saying. His memories are badly distorted - a complete blur. Stun awakens to the sounds of voices, confused by his surroundings. Unable to resist, his body becomes infused with the evil energy (or the spirit of the unborn) and he becomes a monster, prepared to bring darkness over the world. The Tabula speaks to him (Actually the entity called the Unborn) and tells Stun how twisted and alike each other are. Jenny, an old friend, appeared before the agonized Stun and whispered to him that his pain was caused by the power of other dominant Zoanthropes with the 'XGC' mark, and unless they were beaten, he'd completely lose all reason - and he should not hesitate if he wanted to retain his pride as a man.Īfter defeating Xion, Stun prepares to destroy the Tabula, when its powers overwhelm him. He knew he'd become a monster if he didn't act soon. The violent energy raged within him, often surfacing in sharp pains that would sometimes make him uncontrollable or unconscious. Eventually, the mysterious 'XGC' mark befell him and the power that came with it began overloading his unstable body. He lives now out of sight - a solitary figure hiding his deformed form from the world. After the ZLF fell, Stun disappeared into the shadows, forced to drink the blood to stabilize his decaying body. His revenge had been quelled by his still rational heart. However, when he faced Busuzima, he was unable to kill him because he remembered their lost friendship. He will live his life now as a 'vampire' to retain his decaying body, though he will only take blood from the 'dirty' criminal populace, Zoanthrope and human alike.Ī year ago, Stun fought against Busuzima after turning him into an artificial Zoanthrope in a cruel experiment. Concealed by a red cape, he overlooks the city after finishing with his prey. They are unable to fight back against him as he savages the criminals, drinking their blood. As the criminals laugh over their crimes, Stun appears from the shadows, startling the group. In a back alley, a group of robbers wearing animal masks hideout, having used fear created by the ZLF to easily steal from fearful business owners. Stun escaped the burning ZLF labs vowing to himself that, even with his hideous body, he will take a stand and not just sit back waiting to die. Slowly, his mind and body decayed though his heart yearned for revenge. Feeling betrayed, Steven (now going by the name 'Stun') plunges into despair over losing his human form. Because of how unstable the experiment had made his genetic structure (mostly because insect and mammalian DNA are incompatible), he could only survive on a special stabilizer developed to retain his body. Though, when Steven discovered the evils behind the company, he became a part of one of Busuzima's experiments and converted him into a man-made Zoanthrope. In the same year that he joined the company, another young scientist by the name of Busuzima entered work there and the two would become good friends, and also, good rivals. He believed his research would contribute to saving people's lives. Steven Goldberg was a young, zealous scientist working for the multinational group, Tylon.
