Samuel Greyson, formally known as Matthew Wheeler grew up in a lab all his life. His mother had just been a waitress at some small town diner when Matthew's father, Nikolai Wheeler, picked her up. He brought her to his underground bunker/lab and there he proceed to rape her. He held her hostage until she gave birth to his son Matthew and when Matthew was old enough not to need his mother Nikolai had killed her. Matthew then proceeded to have needle after needle injected in him. He became a human labrat, living in a bunker and surviving with nothing, but bread and water. It was only when he was ten years old that he managed to escape from the lab and his father.

Three years after escaping his father, Matthew met Robert Queen. Robert had taken a special interest in Matthew due to his own son being the same age. He took Matthew home, fed him, took care of him. He gained Matthew's trust and adopted him, renaming him Samuel Greyson in order to hide his past and hide him from his real father. Samuel never saw his real father again and he grew up with the Queens instead. At the age of 22 Samuel and Oliver went on a trip with their father on the boat, bringing along Oliver's girlfriend's sister, Sara. The ship crashed and Sara died along with Robert Queen and Samuel and Oliver were stranded on an island. Five years later they are found and now they are no longer the same boys, but grown up men. Men that will fix their father's mistakes and save their city.
