Hannibal Parker: Difference between revisions

Hannibal was born to two loving parents on Earth, his sister following four years later. Hannibal grew bigger and stronger than most children, and he had an aggressive streak which never ceased to get him into trouble. He consistently could outmuscle, outrun, and outfight just about anyone...generating whispers that somehow Hannibal Parker had been genetically enhanced which reverberated through Starfleet. Such talk enraged Hannibal’s' father and distressed his mother...so much so that Hannibal was examined by Admiral Leonard McCoy at Starfleet Medical, who, after examining Hannibal, told his father that Hannibal was the fortunate combination of genes and DNA. He also found that Hannibal’s' adrenal gland was bigger than most, which accounted for the freakish strength, size and aggressiveness. With that information in hand, Hannibal’s' father, Ryland, began to teach his son to be a warrior, just as he had been. The lessons started young, and by the time he was fifteen, Hannibal was a double black belt in karate and had mastered other forms of martial arts. Weapons training had also started early for him, with Hannibal mastering a phaser rifle by the time he was thirteen. At sixteen, Hannibal had passed the Starfleet Marine exit physical tests, but could not enter for two more years.
