A college professor by the name of Trevor Bellows made a breakthrough in growing man-made diamonds. He perfected the process and was attempting to make the largest diamond ever produced by man.

But his benefactor threatened to relieve him of his funding unless the professor agreed to help him smuggle blood diamonds under the guise of them being man-made.

The professor refused and was forced into the industrial sized microwave from which he planned to grow his experiment. The carbon seed of the diamond started to grow crystal formations on his body, which attached themselves to his DNA. 

Bellows emerged a different creature all together. No longer did he care about teaching students to reach their full potential. Instead, he now wanted to teach a lesson in pain and misery to those responsible for his plight.
