Editing Crucible:Loco (section)

== Early Life ==

Travis Marion Nelson grew up in Texas and became a professional wrestler at a young age, developing a reputation for enormous strength, theatrical bravado, and frightening aggression in the ring. Wrestling under the stage name '''Loco''', Nelson cultivated an outlaw persona built around unstoppable force and unpredictable violence.

The name worked on several levels: He hit like a locomotive. And people genuinely thought he might be insane.

Nelson’s wrestling career ended catastrophically after a match in which he accidentally killed another man in the ring. Convicted and sentenced to prison, he quickly became known as one of the most physically dangerous inmates in the penal system.
That reputation ultimately attracted the attention of experimental researchers looking for test subjects.
