Description Comic 82: Exposition Time!
     Panel 1: Emmett and all the others standing around in his room as he is repairing his shell and talking.  Outside it's obvious that the rain has stopped.  
  CAP: "Shortly..."  
  Emmett: "Okay, I break things down as much as I can.  I'm a genetic experiment created by a secretive corporate organization.  To the best of my knowledge, the project went bankrupt or was forcibly shut down about two years ago, and I, along with the other experiments were to be contained or disposed."

     Panel 2: Emmett twisting the head onto it's neck on left half of the picture.  On the right side is a picture of Emmett in a giant test tube.  
  Emmett: "I had no name.  I was merely 'Test Subject Number 4'.  I was created a little over five years ago in an underground bunker, and artificially aged to appear in my early-twenties.  With the exception of one assistant, I was treated as if I were an animal, merely to be studied.  Before he was removed, that assistant gave me my forename.  He claimed that it was after a very important man called 'Doctor Emmett Brown'. I have since learned through the internet that this man was a fictional character from a popular movie trilogy.  But I digress."

     Panel 3: Emmett is putting electricity into the shell's head, similar to a plasma sphere.  
  Emmett: "While the project was operational, my powers and abilities were tested and developed.  I can control electricity up to a certain voltage, and can enter a pure electrical form that allows me to travel short distances quickly, and travel along electrical wiring and circuitry.  I do, however, need to recharge in order to use my powers after an extended period of time, such as when I traveled here, hidden within this android shell."

     Panel 4: Flashback to Emmett locked in his containment unit.  One of the walls is highly reflective, and the others are a dull gray.  There should be two enclosed light fixtures on each of the three non-reflective walls.  Between the two lights on the wall opposite the "mirror" wall should be a faucet.
  Emmett: "When the project was shut down and I was practically left for dead, but one of the engineers failed to properly secure the enclosure around one of the old light fixtures.  There was a small crack in the upper casing, too small for me to pry open, but they had presented me with another way out.  They had left me with a box full of batteries to keep myself fed, since I am able convert the power to calories and last a long time off of a small charge.  It's not as enjoyable for my palette, but it along with a water faucet kept me alive."  

     Panel 5: Emmett flashback to the battery exploding against the "mirror" wall and he's covering his face.  
  Emmett: "Whatever their reasons for leaving the batteries, I found a way to exploit them.  After they had left, in a fit of anger I had thrown a battery I overcharged against the entrance.  It didn't release me, but still exploded, the shrapnel cutting me and coming dangerously close to killing me.  However, the battery acid ran down the wall and I could see the charge sparking in it."
