They were genetically engineered to be suprahuman weapons of mass destruction, but now they must walk amongst the people they were created to destroy. Ebony Hide is one of them; an Elephantman. Even when he is befriended by a small girl, Hide is still haunted by his past and is forced to recognize that suspicion and contempt will always be his constant companions.
