Franklin Davis was an Evolved. Had been for a couple years now.
Despite having powers, he didn't used to feel all that special.
Having powers really only benefits you if you were the kind of person who is confident enough to use them.
If you were a regular person, or for argument's sake, a person who didn't quite know how to fight for themselves, then having superpowers doesn't accomplish much, aside from making people treat you like a circus freak or a meal ticket.
Franklin used to have that very same problem.
For most people, getting powers was their single greatest dream in life, and then for others, it is their undeniable turning point.
But Franklin just considered getting powers to be a hassle. He was a simple enhanced type evolved who could make his skin like flexible diamond.
Frank read a lot of comics, so he understood the themes and general need for heroism. Be it fictional, or realistic.
