The first several years of Shin's life were spent living on a variety of US Army bases. His father quit the service when Shin was 8 years old and they settled down in San Antonio. Shin was just becoming old enough to understand that his parents had little in common and that the marriage was teetering on the verge of collapse. His mother was quiet and shy, never having felt comfortable since leaving Korea. His father was increasingly absent, involved in shady deals with people that his mother didn't trust.</p><p></p><p>When Shin was 10, his parents finally divorced. His mother would have returned to Korea were it not for Shin, who had finally settled into life in one city and with a core group of friends. For him, she worked a string of low-pay factory jobs to cover a run-down apartment in a neighborhood largely populated with Mexican immigrants. She taught Shin strong values, which were enough to help keep him out of too much trouble with his friends.</p><p></p><p>In high school, Shin started learning how to box. His best friend's father was a boxing instructor and would teach them on the weekends and after school. Shin took to boxing like a fish to water, showing incredible natural talent and a great desire to learn. His focus improved and that spilled over to the rest of his life - his grades improved, he shunned his shadier friends, and he even took a part time job. His mother did not approve of the boxing, but couldn't deny it to her son after seeing the way it positively affected the rest of his life.</p><p></p><p>After graduation, Shin decided to pursue boxing full time. His career was taking off at a tremendous pace and money was starting to come in. He was able to send his mother back to her hometown in Korea, with the promise of writing, calling, and visiting as often as he could. Things were good...until the day his father came back into his life.</p><p></p><p>His father tracked Shin down one night after a fight in Las Vegas. Shin, somewhat naive, was taken in by his slick personality and agreed to a change his manager for the promise of a quicker rise to the big-time and better pay. What he soon came to learn, however, was that his father was involved in some manner of organized crime. Shin was shielded enough that he could largely pretend it wasn't there, but his conscience started to gnaw at him.</p><p></p><p>At this same time, Shin's powers began to grow. He came to realize that his strength and regenerative abilities were beyond any normal man. He had to hide his talents for fear of discovery, all the while dealing with his own questions about what it meant and why he was different.</p><p></p><p>At 23-0, he was now heavily favored in nearly all match-ups. He acquired the nick-name "Blackout" for his string of knock-out decisions. It was then that his father came to him and demanded that he throw his next bout against Tom "Pretty Boy" Mahony in the third round. Shin's father had arranged for a number of associates to place large bets for a substantial payoff.</p><p></p><p>Shin was so furious, and his pride so hurt, that he refused to play along. He knocked "Pretty Boy" out fifteen seconds into the first round, crushing several ribs and collapsing one of his lungs. Shin was horrified at what he'd done to his opponent, especially as his anger had been directed at his father. He had lost a grip on his powers and it had nearly gotten an innocent killed.</p><p></p><p>After the fight, his father and three tough goons confronted him in an alley. His father cursed him up and down, threatening him and demanding obedience. Shin quietly declared that his boxing career was over. His father sicced the goons on Shin, to "teach him a lesson in respect." Shin easily knocked out all three in a span of seconds. His father got a worried look, told Shin that this matter wasn't over, and fled into the night.</p><p></p><p>Shin has since moved back to San Antonio where he works at a small local grocery store.
