Cody Monroe hauled other people's trash for a living for 7 years. One day, while he was illegally dumping a load of industrial waste from Manticore Bioindustries in the forest, an accident inundated him with trash and hazardous waste.

The accident should have killed Cody. Instead, he awoke in that forest with the ability to telekinetically control trash. Any item anyone found useless or unwanted could be mentally controlled by Cody.

At first Cody thought small. He used his powers to continue hauling trash. Eventually, he turned his powers towards crime. It was during a heist that he stole the mystic Azure Jewel, which he gave to his girlfriend Trisha Beauragard, aka Blue Light Special.

Cody was caught and served a few years in Santa Rosa prison. Upon release, Cody got back in touch with Blue Light Special and returned to a life of crime.
