Backstory: Born to a wealthy and well off family of means who were a pillar of society which organized charities to help the unfortunate, The Bouncer had a natural mutation which made his arms and legs super strong and resilient, allowing him to perform incredible physical feats and put incredible strain on them without the slightest issue.

His mother deciding to put him into ballet school on the basis that it would suit him well with his physical abilities, and many wealthy donors would give money to a good cause if a dance recital was involved, would scold the youth whenever he came home with dirty and muddy clothing from kids throwing mud at him and calling him names for doing ballet.

This would lead to the Bouncer spending the next thirty years of his life plotting and training until he was ready to become a supervillain whose entire schtick was built around robbing charities, declaring it as vengeance against his mother for putting him in ballet school all those years ago~
