So anyway, young Oscar, as he was known then, went out into the cruel world as a teenager, and began to attempt to earn his way in the world. He secured a job at the local stake mill, endlessly making stakes to be used for a variety of puposes, not the least of was the killing of vampires. While working at the mill, alongside the simple village folk, Oscar was witness to one of the universes more bizzare rituals, the annual turtle freeze/burn.
The simple villagers, one day out of each year, and the specific day is a closely guarded village secret, forge into the surrounding woodlands, and capture the vicious killer attack terrapins, that frequent the area. The capture terrapin is then brought to the village and placed inaside a huge freezer, and well....frozen.
The unfortunate creature, rendered mighty docile by the freezing, is then removed from the cold, doused with the villagers native fuel source, and set afire. This results in the terrapin getting really really hot. Oscar watched this process in horror and then found the spirit of the turtle crawling into his body. This being a particularly unpleasant feeling, young Oscar ran screaming through the village, whereupon, the villagers realized he had witnessed their sacred ceremony.
The villagers chose that exact moment to attack oscar. In fear of his life, and his pants...you see the villagers had often admired his pants.....Oscar, for the first time anywhere, unleashed the power of the turtle, and slowed to a crawl, allowing the angry natives to catch him. Oscar, never the brightest bulb in the lamp, had his one moment of brilliance and turned his hands to point at the villager, unleashing the power of the turtle, on sopmeone other than himself, and escaped.
Travelling to the coast, Oscar collected the discarded shell of turtles murdered in the past, and used the shells to construct a boat and leave his island paradise home. Once on the mainland, he used the turtle shells to construct his uniform, and swore to fight the forces of evil pants snatchers everywhere.
