Who is Justice?

Origin Since a young age John Tensen had a firm and unshakeable moral code and stance on right and wrong and had only one ambition: to be a hero. He grew up with few friends, due to an instance wherein he beat up a bunch of classmates for offering him drugs, but was lucky enough to meet a woman called Irene whom he married and had a daughter named Angela with. After putting himself through college while Irene supported him and their daughter, Tensen quickly got a job as an investigator for the Justice Department's Narcotics Division. Tensen's incorruptible nature meant he quickly rose the ranks and made a lot of enemies. Eventually, this took it's toll when a carbomb meant for him killed his wife, Irene. Following his wife's death, Tensen was sent into deep undercover to bust Daedalus Darquill , a corporate giant who was suspected of major drug trafficking. Darquill was actually a superhuman with the ability to generate illusions and shape reality with his dreams. Tensen became involved in Darquill's fantasy world and developed powers of his own.
