History:
Raised on the mean streets of Miami’s Overtown district, Arnold Roberts may not have had the luxuries or opportunities of rich families, but he had the strong moral upbringing of his parents, and a strong will to resist temptations. However,
his brother was unable to resist the temptations and became the super-villain named “Black Tempest”. This broke Arnold’s heart.

As a boy, Arnold was teased by his classmates and so-called friends for being sensitive and kind-hearted, even though Arnold was always the biggest and tallest kid in the class. This gentle giant absorbed the taunts and girls and boys alike made fun of him because he loved poetry and preached peace as opposed to violence and war. Arnold’s mutant ability to write innovative poems and stories was not latent- he had it at birth.

Trying to make a life for himself, Arnold registered with the University of South Florida in Tampa, Florida. Unable to make his mind up about what degree he wanted, he took a Religion Course out of curiosity. Arnold was shy, buy struck conversation with the man who was The One, the Leader of the War Purgers, and CCB3.That night, Arnold was working in the kitchen at the Marriott on USF campus where he saw The One was his work partner. Little did Arnold know that The One had his eye on him, and set the moment up years before. The One had designed a mutant detection machine years before called Cerebro, which had flagged Arnold as a potential super-human being.

One night at closing, The One shot Arnold with a tranquilizer dart and put him to sleep. The One genetically engineered Arnold Roberts to transform into KUMA!
