Known as "Project Prometheus", this black-budget program was the Army's attempt to create a new breed of soldier.  Using gene therapy techniques, various breeds of animals' genes were spliced into the test-subjects' DNA and radiation treatments were used to seal the process (whoever was in charge of matching up donors with recipients had a sense of humor, assigning Bull to receive bovine DNA).  This managed to increase the subjects' physical attributes and aggressiveness tremendously.  Unfortunately, despite the initial successes, it was soon discovered that 99% of the subjects developed one or more mental instabilities.When the project was discontinued that winter, the subjects were scheduled to be tranported to various mental health facilities where their psychoses could be treated before they were discharged from the Army.  Fearing that the Army really meant to eliminate their failures, Bull and his fellow test subjects rebelled and staged a massive escape, destroying 90% of the secret facility, including the computer that held the records of the personnel involved and the treatments they had received.In the two and a half years since, Bull has slowly made his way back home to Freedom City, taking on odd jobs where strength and endurancemean more than intelligence and looks, and payment is customarily cash under the table.  Afraid to go home because of what he had become and what he might do to his loved ones if he snapped, Bull Durham has stayed away from his family and friends, working at the docks of Freedom City, but looking for something else... something better.Description:More to come, but for the time being, he's a well-muscled man, more than usually hirsute, with a broad face, almost a snout, looking rather bullish.  When he becomes enraged, the animalistic appearance intensifies, such that his head looks exactly like an enraged bull with horns growing from his temples.V</blockquote>
