Walter White. Your average, everyday, family man. Chemistry teacher, loving husband, father of two. Then, the doctor's visit. After hearing the earth-shattering diagnosis of terminal lung cancer, it sends his wife Skyler, his son Walt Jr., and himself into complete panic. After hearing many different offers from others to help out with the treatment bills, he realized he had too much pride to let someone else support him financially. Walter then lied to his wife saying that their rich friends were paying for his treatment. That's when he partnered with his former student, Jesse Pinkman, to make a lot of money in little time. During his first deal, he decided to keep his real name hidden for the safety of himself, Jesse, and his family, so he coined the name "Heisenberg." This led to one of the most intense scenes on television,
