Their Origin

                                    

                                          
Intake stayed low to the ground and eyed the red-haired man up and down. Jack Larison didn't look that impressive, but when it came to superpowers, you could never judge a book by its cover.
Jack was the first to speak, taking a lazy step toward the bad guy. "You should be ashamed of yourself for going after a child. It's villains like you that I hate most in the world-" Jack was cut off mid-sentence when his vision was full of stone, as Intake's fist appeared inches away from his face. With inhuman speed, Jack twisted his body, the punch soaring past him and shattering the ground. The entire street shook, and some cars were raised off the ground from the blow.
With a roar, Jack swung up and smashed the sign into the head of Intake, hitting the bad guy as hard as he could and shattering the makeshift weapon in the process.
The villain let out a curse, stumbling back as the metal was torn across their rocky flesh. It rubbed at the spot and glared down at Jack. With a sick grin, the beast swung its fist, connecting with Jack's face. A punch strong enough to rip through stone caused the red-haired man to stumble back, his eyes filling with shock and pain, but then they quickly narrowed.
Jack was still alive. His head somehow stayed attached to his neck. The man wrapped his arm around Intake's limb and began to easily pull it back with mighty strength. Intake yelped as the villain began losing the battle of power. "You're not just any random Super! Who the hell are you? Why are you pretending to be a normal human? Our kind can rule humans like Gods-"
"Don't look at me like that. It was this or flipping burgers," Jack grunted. The creature roared in agony as Jack used his other arm and jabbed out with a strong right hook. The blow stabbed into Intake's gut and cracked the stone hide with ease, sending black blood spilling out. Hissing in pain, the beast lashed out with his free hand, grabbing Jack by the head. Jack cursed, but it was too late.
With a simple twist, Intake sent the Cleanup Crew member flying into the air as if he were as light as a feather. Jack yelled and tumbled down a few meters away, roughly crashing into the roof of a car, and before he could even get back on his feet, Intake appeared next to him and picked the entire car up, folding it in half with Jack still inside! Metal twisted around the man, who grunted as he felt himself begin to get crushed and encased in the makeshift tomb that was being created for him.
Intake laughed and began to grow in size, the stone that made up his body being replaced with the red metal of the car. The villain was nearly sixteen feet tall now, so big that the ground was starting to crack beneath him, and he kept folding the car up more and more. Suddenly though, in a blinding flash of golden light, the car exploded, and Intake felt himself be flung back by a tremendous force.
Jack dropped to the ground as the car that had been folded around him melted and burned to ash. The man's body was filled with a powerful golden light, and lightning danced across their fingertips. "That's enough." He spoke in a cool tone and took a step forward. With a simple flick, four orbs of golden light appeared in the air around Jack, each firing a thin beam of energy that left small smoking holes in Intake's body.
The villain grunted, more black blood spilling down his chest, but he wasn't ready to quit just yet. Intake slapped at the ground, hitting it as hard as he could and shattered more of the road, sending the debris flying Jack's way.
"Great." Jack said in a dry tone. "Giving us more work to do." The golden man wasn't just strong but also fast, easily sidestepping all the rocks that crashed down around them. "Why don't you just take your loss like a real man and give up? You're starting to tick me off. Powers weren't made to be equal, and I'm far above what you'll ever be."
The truth was he had sent the kid away so he wouldn't have to worry about holding back. This entire street was clear of people and had been blocked off, and due to the damaged state it was already in, he didn't need to worry about collateral damage since they were already in the middle of fixing it. In other words, there was nothing stopping him from going all out and using everything he had to beat this monster.
