Richard Elmer Dorsey was born on December 16th, 1983 in Baltimore, Maryland. Richard was a wild child in a wild city. As a kid he'd bounce off walls so much his mother called him Joey, after a baby kangaroo. As 'Joey' grew (on his way to looking like Luke Cage's body double), he found it harder to control himself. Good luck to anyone who thought they could control him either. Baltimore's public school system tried, and failed. Dorsey got expelled from middle school, forcing his mother to enroll him at New Foundations, an alternative school which at that time had 35 students, ranging in age from 10 to 21.
