Ethan Thompson never had a childhood. Born from a brief affair his billionaire father Robert Thompson wanted buried, Ethan's existence was considered a problem to be solved. When his mother arrived at Robert's gates to reveal the pregnancy, Robert shot her in cold blood and ordered the body disposed of. A scientist witnessed it. Saved the infant. And took him somewhere he shouldn't have. The Ultimate Project. A secret organization of assassins, funded in part by Robert Thompson himself, was building the perfect human weapon. Twenty one infants. Experimental genetic augmentation. Cellular reconstruction at the molecular level. Only ten survived. Ethan — Subject One — was the most successful. He grew up inside a facility called The Core. No family. No name. No childhood. Only training, missions, and the systematic removal of everything that made him human. By seven years old he was already being sent into the field. By his teens he was the most feared assassin alive. He destroyed cities. Toppled governments. Killed thousands. Until one mission. One child in the rubble. One scream that broke something open inside him that all the conditioning in the world couldn't close again. He walked away. Now he operates as Apex. Hunting the organization that built him. Carrying the weight of everything his hands have done. Trying to make it mean something different.

After losing his family and being condemned to live dependent on an experimental serum created by his own father, Ethan Cross becomes something more than human. With an enhanced body but a life bound to constant injections, he is trapped between the desire to save and the pain that consumes him. When a dark organization begins to control the city from the shadows, transforming people into monsters, Ethan assumes a new identity: DREVSHARR — a shadow that hunts evil. In a world where every choice comes with a price and the past refuses to stay dead, he vows to protect the lives of others… even if it means losing his own humanity
