Origin Chen Lu Doctor Chen Lu specialized in nuclear physics and served as a nuclear physicist for the Respected in his high ranking specialist role, Doctor Lu was also well known for his research into how nuclear radioactivity may be in utilized to trigger and grant superhuman powers within humans. After hostile Chinese military presence and occupation in a part of prompted the thunder god to intervene and push back the incursion single handedly, the Chinese government sought various means to able to contend with such superhuman power. Revising its strategies and looking into their military and scientific resources the Chinese government called upon Doctor Chen Lu hoping his expertise with both nuclear physics but more importantly experiments in superhuman enhanced power would be the key to opposing might like the Asgardian Thor. Doctor Lu was more than obliged to his new role, already having his own aspirations to be super powered, and having already spent months exposing himself to dangerous radioactive materials and substances. Immunized by his smaller experiments and now with the support of his government Chen Lu exposed himself to a larger concentration of speciality radiation which suitably mutated his body increasing his size, causing his body to glow an unnatural jade and giving the Doctor super human powers.
Demonstrating his newly acquired power to his superiors his experiment was considered a success.
