HistoryRichard O’Shea was born the son of Irish Immigrants in the “Little Belfast” area of the Bronx known as Bainbridge. However during the downturn in the US economy the O’Sheas, as well as many other Irish families were forced to move to Germany (whose reunification process coincided with the American recession).
His late teens in Germany were a series of semi-successful Criminal Enterprises; becoming something of Robin Hood type, robbing from Smugglers and other Criminals and giving to the Poor. By the time he was an adult he had achieved some notoriety, even garnering the attention of the Crimson Council; whom he had inadvertently crossed during one of his cons.
It was the Council who gave O’Shea his powers , kidnapping Rick and putting him through a series of weird experiments. Rick found that he could repulse any matter or energy that entered his Kirlian Aura and send it back to its source. Through practice he even learned to reflect things at different angles to different targets.
After being brain-washed by the Council he was given the name Ricochet and was set-up to be the Crimson Council's latest Super-Villain.
That was until he fell in love.
Victoria Lenz was a double agent working for S.T.O.R.M. and had successfully infiltrated The Crimson Council as an Agent. She and Rick developed a relationship and it was Vickie who began to show Rick the truth about the Council. When they discovered her duplicity they ordered Ricochet to kill her. He refused and overcame his Brainwahing and attempted to escape, with Vicki, to America. However as skilled as he was, Rick couldn’t protect her from the hail of bullets that rebounded off of his repulsion field. Vicki died helping Rick escape and he has sworn to make the Crimson Council pay.
Sean's next step was to make a large contribution to the Olympia Foundation to gain membership to the Guardians. Figuring joining a soon-to-be prestigious supergroup would give him the Hero Cred he needed to make it in the Big Leagues.
