Who is Silas Stone?

Silas Stone was a university research scientist. He and his wife, Elinore , performed experiments on their son, Victor Stone , looking for ways to boost child intelligence. Though he loved his son, the way Silas treated Vic would drive a wedge between the two. Their experiments succeeded in making Victor into a child genius with a 170 IQ but the two often argued, particularly about how Silas was trying to control him or how Victor was wasting all his potential running around with crooks or playing sports. Their problems hit a peak when Victor came home after a gang fight. Swearing that he wouldn't call a criminal his son, Silas disowned him then and there. Years later, Victor stopped by his parent's lab to see his mother. An experiment to reach into another dimension had gone wrong and a creature from that dimension made its way into ours.
