History
Larry Trainor was an Air Force pilot involved in a plane accident that bonded him with a radioactive being know only as the "negative spirit. A scientist named Niles Caulder, who Larry would affectionately later call "Chief", invited him to live in his house with other misfits and outcasts he'd picked up over the years, such as Rita Farr, Cliff Steele, and Gar Logan, safe from the fear and hatred of the world. Larry agreed and moved in. Caulder gifted him a radiation-proof room he could stay in, as well as lead-lined bandages for him to wrap around him to be comfortable outside his living quarters. Larry stayed in the house for many years, growing close to the other tenants of the house, even when Gar left to go his own way.[1]
