Conner Warden (Earth-1546)

Conner was born along the border of Harlem, basically where town just begins to get rough. His mom and his dad cared greatly for him and his twin brother Lucas. When Conner and Lucas were 10, their dad was diagnosed with terminal cancer and if he was lucky would live about three more years. Conner and Lucas grew up pretty quickly after that, both running around doing errands in order to make money, and helping their mother around the house in order to take care of their father. When they were 12 their father passed away, leaving Lucas with a Zippo lighter and Conner with a necklace.

After that Conner got interested in stuff he shouldn’t have, and got tangled with the wrong crowd. At the age of 14 he began to run around with kids who by their families were in the Italian Mafia. Whenever Conner would get stressed at home he would go over to one of their homes. Their mothers developed a liking for Conner and as for his interest he was given the job of running around and doing errands for the mafia. As he would be running and doing errands, Lucas was hitting the history and law books, getting the schooling and education he’d need in order to be a lawyer. Despite their differences the brothers were still close. However, when Lucas discovered that Conner was tangled with the mafia he pretended to be unrelated to him outside for his own safety. When Conner was 15 he killed a man for the first time. It was a member of the gang that the mafia was currently quarreling with, this specific member threatened Conner’s family.

After Lucas discovered this, the brothers stopped talking, electing to go their own ways. Towards his 16th, Conner really wanted out of the Mafia. He was done with the secrecy, the dead bodies, and the drug rings. From there he reached out to a man named Ivan Baranov, Ivan made a deal with the Italian Mafia and agreed that he would keep an eye on the Warden son in order to make sure that he snitched to nobody. Conner would do favors for Ivan in return, such as the occasional drive by or looting, however it didn’t require the commitment and the title of the Mafia. At 17, Lucas joined the army and was shipped off to god knows where. Conner stayed in school, but began to pick up the slack with Baranov. After paying off his debt he began to do contract killings. At the age of 20 he was given the job of killing his first superhuman. This Superhuman was Lilith, he failed, and Lilith ratted him out. Conner managed to convince his mom that he was on drugs that night so she wouldn’t know of his illegal activities. A few days later he ran away. From there him and his best friend Jace met Alex, Cyran, Tina, and Lilith. They quarreled with some elementals and had targets on their backs because of it. They formed a base between the group of them however this was quickly discovered and raided. Conner was kidnapped by the man behind the whole operation, Mark and the doctor.

These people activated the meta-gene in people, for the cyborg to copy their powers and kill them. Conner found a little girl there, her name was Elizabeth and she was 7 years old. Conner rescued Elizabeth and with the help of their friends they escaped. Over time Conner, Lilith, and Liz got close to each other, starting a family amongst the three of them. Later on a man named James was added to the equation. James had been forced to work with Mark and after he escaped Mark he was brought into the safehouse crew. The safehouse was founded after this, Conner bought a farmhouse in the outskirts of New York, hours away from the city. Remote and hidden they could be safe there. Elizabeth found a girl named Lily and brought her back to the safehouse, from there the two bonded and became like sisters. Jace and Lily got really close, and in the battle with Nova Prospekt put his life on the line in order to save her from her past captors.

Conner began to become close with a man he had worked with in the past, the god of thunder himself. Through Thor, Conner also had met Dr. Strange a few times. It didn’t take long for the god of thunder to be welcomed into the family, he even was given the opportunity to share a room with Jace which he took. Through hard work, tears, sweat, and love, the safehouse became a welcome home for many who struggled, and together they became a makeshift family, always bustling with activity. Whether the characters were getting in trouble or whether there were just heartfelt moments. One of the biggest struggles was a battle with a man named MR, however the safehouse crew defeated MR in a mighty battle. After Conner took away his mobility, Thor just fucking killed him. It was through Thor too, that Conner got his mighty sword, Reign. Reign is still with Conner today, and has been used in many battles. However one of the most famous battles was the battle with Mark. Mark and Conner met on a bridge and fought for hours, until Conner cut Mark in half and killed him. Mark however, was brought back to life.

After this, Conner was captured by Lilith’s brother Zeke. It was Zeke’s intention to turn Conner and against Lilith and he nearly succeeded. Zeke’s partner Durge went off the rails and killed his mother, burning her alive. Zeke earned Conner’s favor by letting Conner take out his anger on the matter on Durge. Zeke and Conner actually bonded during this time, however when Lilith came to rescue Conner, this was turned against Zeke. Durge didn’t survive the attack. Instead was shot point blank in the forehead with no remorse. After this, Conner and Lucas reunited. Lucas joined the military when they were 17 and was thought to be killed in action. However he was captured as a POW. When the work camp he was trapped in was liberated, he was sent home in order to be with Conner. Frightmare came after this, Jace was more involved with Frightmare than Conner was, however Conner is also very important to this story. When Jace was captured he was given the task of rebuilding Oswald, in order to restore him. Jace managed to do so, and Frightmare portrayed this as Oswald attacking Jace. Thor took his hammer to Oswald in order to save Jace. However this was proven to not be true when it was revealed that they were simply in the hospital and not in some underground labyrinth. Conner and Jace used their combined technical genius to restore Oswald. In return for their service and in hopes of gaining an alliance. Dementias gave them a vial that contained the power to give a new ability. Jace gave the vial to Conner, who gained the ability to absorb and use energy from it.

Conner joined in a battle on the streets a while later. He and many others joined forces to fight against Doom and his powered ones. However the group was teleported into a World of Doom’s design, Battleworld. From there, the heroes spent months fighting with each other and against their enemies in order to escape. Doom saw potential in Conner, and attempted to convert him to his side. However Conner took this opportunity to infiltrate Doom’s castle, and even went as far as to steal Captain America’s shield. He returned the shield to Doctor Strange, and now the shield is where it is supposed to be. The battleworld ended with Doom’s downfall, and the group was sent back to the main world. Shortly after battleworld Conner begins to see Lily as a daughter and plans on adopting her when he adopts Liz. After Battleworld came the threat of the Primordial and the arrival of CLU. Despite CLU’s death the Primordial is still a threat, and Conner cannot put up his cape until he deals with the Primordial. However after he does so, he plans on leaving the hero's life. He plans on taking his family and moving to an island in the middle of the sea. With no way of Mark or any enemies ever being able to find them. The Warden family will finally be able to live in peace. And with this, Conner and Lilith hope to tie the knot and bring another child into the world.
