You may have heard of me, or maybe not. If you’re reading this, and you worked with me or fortunately knew me as a friend, you already know who I am. Some know me as the “Guardian of Canterlot” but my official name is Nightwatcher.

Of course, those are not my real names. I mean, who in their right mind would want Nightwatcher for a real name. My real name is Matthew Wilson.

Before I became Canterlot’s vigilante hero, I was a teenage assassin for the CIA. The CIA had me eliminate terrorist leaders, tyrant leaders (including US government officials suspected of treason), etc. Sometimes, on rare occasions, The CIA sent me to investigate suspects, then kill them if proven guilty of their suspicious acts. I had approximately 1,000 confirmed kills that included the henchman. For these missions, the CIA sent me worldwide, including Sydney, Hong Kong, and Rio de Janeiro.

You are probably wondering how I managed to get around 1,000 kills without getting killed. Like the X-Men, I’m a mutant. There’s an invisible shield that surrounds my body. Anything going over 5 miles per hour can’t penetrate it. In other words, no bullet or any other projectile can hurt or kill me unless they put a gun on my chest. I’m still prone to punches, kicks, and sword and quarterstaff strikes, but I also have enhanced speed, stamina, and reflexes. Plus, my five senses (touch, smell, hearing, sight, and taste) are also improved. In addition, my ligaments are so well enhanced that I can do impressive acrobatic maneuvers. Also, I grew a little taller. I was five feet and four inches, but when I turned 15, I produced 15 inches.

Also, my strength increased. As a sophomore, I used to bench press 180 pounds, but now I can bench ten times more. Plus, I somehow had a memory chip implanted in my brain. Because of it, I know every martial art known to man, with a black belt in each one. I can fluently speak, write, and read over 100 languages, including Arabic, Swahili, Dutch, and Japanese. For another unknown reason, I can play the electric or acoustic guitar. I can play beginner music up to progressive music, like hardcore, head-banging awesomeness.

Since I work for the government as an assassin, I have weapons. I use an array of unorthodox weaponry: two katanas made up of proto-adamantium (the most robust metal on earth, so my sword can’t be broken), two.45 ACP caliber pistols with unlimited ammunition and a vibranium eleven-inch KA-BAR knife from the African country of Wakanda.

Eleven other mutants, including Hamato Kornata or Headhunter, went to my high school.

This book series is based on my and the Teen Mutant Alliance’s hunt for Headhunter after he escapes the Arkham Asylum (Thank you, Joker, and Harley Quinn) and goes to an alternate dimension. We make new and strange friends along the way. I hope you enjoy this series.
