About Ric:
Ric had a fairly normal middle-class childhood and had developed an interest in tinkering with things at a young age. As an adult, he married a woman named Diane and they had a daughter, Beth. Ric eventually became a scientist and after his wife was killed by an alternate version of himself, he dedicated his life to avenging her death and reconnecting with his grandson… I think… That or he’s just a dude slinging some UB.
