Brandon Breyer - Brightburn
One night in 2006, in Brightburn, Kansas, a spaceship crashed on the farm of Toni and Kyle Breyer, a couple who had been having trouble conceiving a child. Inside the spaceship was an infant that the Breyers resolved to raise as their own son, naming him Brandon. 12 years later, Brandon began to develop superhuman powers, discovered his true origin, rejected his humanity, and began terrorizing his adopted hometown, killing his parents and beginning his attacks on the world at large.
