NARRATOR: From humble beginnings
fraught with persecution in Nazi Germany
to the shores of New York,
one small boy in a huddled mass,
yearning to breathe free,
Jon Osterman transcended pain,
suffering, and even death itself to create a life
the likes of which history has never seen.
To some, the immigrant son of a poor clockmaker
was the fulfillment of the American dream.
To others, the world's first superman
was a toxic nightmare.
Jon Osterman stepped into an intrinsic field chamber
to recover his girlfriend's watch,
but what emerged was an immortal god,
impervious to the passage of time.
This victim of an atomic mishap
would forever alter the history of humankind
by developing miraculous new wonders.
And then, Vietnam.
Was he the liberating hero
who single‐handedly ended the war
and delivered his country its 51st state?
Or was he the cold blue conqueror
who decimated an entire way of life?
And so, like the Vietcong
he vanquished a decade earlier, he retreated.
For the next 10 hours,
we'll explore the legacy of this literally self‐made man
in hopes of understanding why he was here,
and why he left.

His name is Will Reeves.
He was a policeman in New York, back in the 1940s,
and he has history here in Tulsa.
He's Angela Abar's grandfather.
I‐I don't understand.
Angela said she doesn't have any family.
Well, we all have family, Mrs. Crawford.
Some of them we just... don't talk about.
Well, why would this man want to kill Judd?
Well, this is the part that gets weird.
Angela OD'd on her grandpa's Nostalgia,
and while she was under, she talked, a lot.
It's as if she was channeling the old man, reliving his life.
I've got it all on tape if you want to listen.
Like I said, weird.
It turns out that...
Will Reeves was Hooded Justice...
the very first masked vigilante.
And he was black.
I mean, this is a guy who inspired
two generations of heroes, my folks and myself included,
but he had to hide who he was.
Because white men in masks are heroes,
but black men in masks...
are scary.
Thank God times have changed.
Yeah, thank God.
But the point is,
when she was walking a mile in Grandpa's memories,
Angela kept saying one word over and over and over:
Cyclops.
Am I supposed to know what that is?
Back in the day, it was a racist cult, hot for mind control.
‐Reeves‐‐ ‐Whoa, whoa, whoa. Mind control?
Yes, I know. I know.
Now, this may come as a bit of a shock,
but I think that Reeves believed your husband
was a part of this whole Cyclops thing,
and that's why he killed him.
And what do you believe?
Well, I‐I wouldn't be doing my job if I didn't at least
entertain the idea that the chief of police of Tulsa
wasn't a secret white supremacist.
Which has to make you wonder about his friends,
like Joe Keene.
What if the 7th Kavalry is just Cyclops by another name?
And what if Senator Joe used them to kill a bunch of police
so that he could put all the cops in masks,
and pretty soon, no one can tell the good guys from the bad guys,
because everybody's covering their fucking faces
and pledging loyalty to their newly elected leader,
President Joe?

a law imbued in us by our creator
when he gifted us with life
and this glorious paradise in which to live it.
Thou shalt not leave!
Is the accused guilty of murder?
The evidence is indisputable.
Even from the time before he came to us,
he freely admits he not only took the lives
of fellow costumed adventurers,
but those...
of three million innocent people!
Does he apologize for manufacturing
an enormous alien being and using it to perpetrate mass genocide?
Does he show a shred of remorse?
No.
He tells us such wanton carnage was a necessary
sacrifice to achieve utopia.
And so for years,
he hurled our lifeless bodies into the great beyond.
Lives we offered unto him
without questioning his intent,
an intent he made evermore clear
in a series of self‐ aggrandizing monologues,
espousing his own superiority
and his true purpose.
