In 1961 Philadelphia, baby Elijah Price is born with both arms and legs broken, caused by Type I osteogenesis imperfecta, a rare disease that renders his bones extremely fragile and prone to fracture.

David is unsettled and leaves, but later finds he can bench press 350 pounds well above his expectations.

Elijah suggests that this highlights the common convention where superheroes have a weakness, contending that David's is water.
