The origin of Labcoat Man

One fall day, Carl Geiger was late for school. He had forgotten his labcoat, which he needed for one of his classes. if he didn't have it, he would get a detention, which he really didn't want.

When he arrived at school, he went to his locker to drop off his coat and unnecesary books. When he opened his locker, there was a clean, white labcoat inside, with a pair of goggles. He thought nothing strange about it, and took the garment and eye protection.

After his class, Carl noticed that on the left sleeve, near the cuff, there was a dark smudge. When he rubbed the smudge to try to remove it, a bright flash of light enveloped him, and he felt strange. He felt smarter somehow....

When he reached the next class, he took the mystical coat off, and he felt normal again. He thought nothing of it, however he was growing curious. How did the labcoat get inside his locker? Why did he feel smarter after he rubbed the smudge?

Upon arriving home after school, Carl went upstairs to his room with the labcoat, and he rubbed the smudge again after he put it on. The same light enveloped him, and he felt smarter once more. He then went downstairs to get something to drink. He grabbed a bottle of soda out of the refrigerator, and took a swig. Very shortly after he took the swig, he could name every ingredient in the refreshing beverage. He considered this very weird.

This startled Carl greatly. How could he have blurted out the ingredients when he himself had not looked at the list of ingredients? He then sat down to do his chemistry homework in the living room. He finished the chemistry problems with the greatest of ease, when in class the same day, he had trouble with the intricate calculations. He began to realize that this was no ordinary labcoat. This was an enchanted garment that gave him increased cranial capacity, activity, and granted him the ability to ascertain the chemicals in any substance.

The next day in class, he put the labcoat on, and rubbed the symbol. The brightness surrounded him, and he heard a strange voice say "the goggles..." He looked around and saw that no one was looking at him, let alone were talking to him. He took out the goggles from his book bag, and noticed a strange symbol on the side of them. It appeared to be two flasks that crossed each other in an "x" pattern. He then looked down at his sleeve, and the smudge had turned into the same symbol. Stunned speechless, he decided to wait until he got home to try experiments with the wounderous pair of items that was in his locker.

When he got home, he went back up to his room, and shut the door. He first put on the labcoat and rubbed the crossed flasks. Big flash of light. He then put on the goggles. At first nothing happened, but then he pressed on the crossed flasks. Another big flash of light encompassed him, and transformed him. He went from a flabby tall guy, to a less flabby, more muscular guy. He looked at himself through the goggles, and a display showed up on the goggles, showing chemical composition, and atomic mass. Carl looked at the plant in his window, and a diferent set of numbers came up. He deduced that the goggles were the completing part of the mystical labcoat. The labcoat made him smarter, but the goggles completed the transformation, making him stronger. After this, he ran about the house, and noticed that his speed had increased considerably from what it had been before. He then tried jumping over things. He surmised that his agility had also increased. This was a good thing.

On his way to school the next day, he saw a smaller high schooler being harassed by some of the larger variety. He then put his labcoat and goggles on, and experienced the total transformation again. Carl walked up to the bullies and said "why don't you leave him alone?"
One of the bullies answered "because he's a nerd, and we hate nerds. Hey, you look like a nerd too!" He then called to his other buddies to get Carl. Carl ran circles arond the bullies..... literally. By the time he was done, they were so dizzy that they just fell over. Seeing that his comrades had fallen (again, literally) the head bully ran off towards the school, never to bother any more nerds again. The person that I saved - let's call him John - stood up and thanked Carl for dissuading the oversized miscreants from bothering him.
"Thank you.... whoever you are. What can I call you?"
"you can call me (he thought about his appearance for a second) Labcoat Man."
"Thank you Labcoat Man. I owe you a lot more than I can repay."
"Don't worry about it. Now, we better get to school before we're late!"
"Right, we better hurry!"
