Cage Stryker

Background
Born Johnathan C. Kurtis in Brooklyn, New York to Frederick and Rena Kurtis, the superstar known as Cage Stryker to fans everywhere lived a normal life. His parents were huge conglomerates of a Pharmaceutical company so they lived a bit of the high life. Johnathan was always too modest. He never allowed money to influence him. He treated everyone equally. It was on a cold autumn night he found himself walking home, lugging a huge bag of books for the holiday weekend when he had a run in with one of the local gangs of Brooklyn. Swifty McVay...head of the gang decided to have his lackeys mug Johnathan on his way home. The Kurtis Pharmaceuticals was a well known business and they knew John was the son of the multi-millionaire family. However...what Swifty wasn't expecting was for a rival gang to be in the neighborhood. Childhood friends of John's...(more commonly known as TJ Hicks and Matt Covey today) were also in the neighborhood that night. Lucky for Johnathan too, otherwise Swifty would have left him for dead. A gang war broke out as Johnathan lay in his own blood slipping out of consciousness. Hix and Covey made quick work out of Swifty and his gang and helped Johnathan home that night. That was also the night they chose to take him under their wing and toughen him up. That night Cage Stryker was born.
