Background: Jon Parker was a spy in the C.I.A., tasked with infiltrating the ranks of America's enemies, learning their secrets, assassinating dangerous individuals, ect. In 2012, he was tasked with infiltrating a rougue terrorist group in Iran who reportedly had some new chemical weapon. Once there, Jon not only discovered that the terrorists did in fact have this chemical, but they were planning to supply it to other terrorists and dictators who wanted to destroy the United States. Jon managed to collect a sample for analyzing, but was discovered and forced to flee. During his escape, the case containing the chemical was damaged, exposing him to it. He managed to escape and turned the chemical over to the government. However, sometime later, he started to feel strange. He discovered that the chemical had affected him, giving him the abilities to become invisible, and assume the powers and appearence of those he touches. Realizing the usefulness of these powers for spywork, he became the first official super hero employed by the U.S. government.
