History
In the slums of Chandigarh in 1960, a woman named Pariyat gave birth to a monster, a baby with rock like skin and glowing eyes. The birth killed the mother, and the father immediately rejected his son. The child seemed to understand this. And Chandigarh was wiped off the face of the Earth by a power none could explain, leaving only one survivor; the child.
The boy that an orphanage named "Michael Desai" ran away at the age of six, and made his own way in the world. He became The Outsider, and he built an Empire with only his powers and entrepreneurial skills. The Outsider was a businessman, a player in politics, and sometimes a conqueror. He was seemingly indestructible, and very strong, and had other powers that no one knew the extent of. He made many enemies over his life, including Black Adam, whom he almost killed and left for dead in the desert, and J'onn J'onzz, whom he did kill, by cutting him in half with dimension/teleportation technology that was adapted from that which had brought the Martian to Earth in the first place.
Ultimately, the self serving Outsider was forced to join forces with Cyborg and his troops in order to save the world from the war between the Amazons and the Atlanteans. His final fate remains unknown.
