Patrick Ward, son of Jackson Ward the famous business man, stared at the painting in front of him. Being the son of a businessman had it's disadvantages some times. He was 17 for christ's sake. He should be out playing football or doing something fun. Instead, he was here, at a dull museum with his dad, looking at stuff because of a business deal. Plus the suit he was wearing was annoying as hell. Whoever made these should burn.
"Patrick, no lingering." he heard his father say.
"Yes dad." Patrick replied before he followed suit.
As they entered the Egyptian exhibit, all hell suddenly broke loose as a loud explosion echoed through the building. Smoke filled the room and Patrick heard his dad run out screaming. Typical. When the going gets though, the though get going. Looking up, Patrick saw his least favorite people in the world. The evil twins Leech and Adhesive. Twin Supervillains who got a kick out of causing as much mayhem as possible.
Leech turned to his sister Adhesive and nodded. She jumped into the air and reached out into the air. Her fingers stretched out like rubber, turning into flat, endless strips of tape that she used to bind the museum occupants who had not escaped. Fortunately for Pat, he had managed to avoid being caught.
He turned the corner, and seeing no one, quickly changed into the heroic X-Stream! He grew from 5'9" to 6'4". His lean skater boy body grew hard, more defined muscles that were showed in his tight, emerald green suit. The golden ex appeared on his chest and gauntlets, boots, and a belt appeared, all shining gold. He placed a green face mask over his eyes and his curly brown hair slicked back and became a dark chestnut. Flexing for a brief moment, X-Stream returned into the room.
"Oh Leech," Adhesive began as she strutted across the Egyptian exhibit in her tight pink outfit. "Once he find the Jewel of Imotet, you'll be able to suck the life out of everyone in the city! We'll be able to use their life force for anything we want!"
"Not if I can help it!" X-Stream shouted as he jumped into action. Shrieking, Adhesive jumped to her brother's side.
"X-Stream! Oh but how?" she asked, hugging her brother's waist as if it were a life preserver.
Patrick ignored her and was about to jump into action when
