Origin story
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In comic book terminology, the phrase origin story refers to a story or backstory revealing how a character or team gained superpowers, or the circumstances under which they became superheroes or supervillains.
Of course "origin story" is a term used in the study of myths, as well. It can refer to narratives of how the world began, how creatures and plants came into existence, and why certain things in the cosmos have certain qualities.
