Rex Shard was a convict serving a nine-life sentence at Megakat Maximum Security Prison who was chosen by Warden Cyrus Meece to operate Dr. Lieter Greenbox’s experimental Gemkat 6000 mining device in its trial run. In return, Meece would shave some time off of Shard’s prison sentence. Amazed at how quickly the Gemkat 6000 worked, he attempted to open the drill housing to get at the collected gems within and “take a few off the top.” In doing so, he somehow caused the machine to backfire and explode. When Shard emerged from the mine, he found that the explosion had somehow caused him to begin to rapidly change into a being made of unbreakable green crystal, with the power to turn anything he touched into crystal.
