MAN-BAT (eARTH-7)

What began as a desperate attempt to defy death became something far more disturbing. Hidden above the city, a fragile line is all that separates love from obsession… and humanity from something else entirely. 

And in the darkness, something still breathes, sustained at a terrible cost.

Biography 

Early Life

Kirk was once a brilliant scientist, working alongside his partner Francine as pioneers in stem cell and muscle regeneration research. Together, they stood on the edge of a breakthrough, believing they had achieved something remarkable.

But beneath that success lay desperation. Kirk suffered from a degenerative disease, one that threatened to end his life and career just as they reached their peak. What began as scientific ambition soon became deeply personal, shifting their research from altruistic goals to a relentless pursuit of survival.

There was never enough. More tests, more subjects, more progress. While Kirk believed in making the most of the time he had left, it was Francine who refused to accept any end at all. She would not lose him, nor allow herself to be abandoned.

Their work ultimately led to a transformation that went far beyond curing disease, reshaping Kirk into something no longer entirely human.
