That’s me. Back before any of this crazy shit happened. I guess I’m the last person you’d expect to become a superhero. I’m not saying there was anything wrong with me, but there was nothing special, either. I wasn’t into sports, I wasn’t a mathlete or a hardcore gamer. I didn’t have a piercing, or an eating disorder, or 3000 friends on MySpace. My only superpower was being invisible to girls. And out of my friends, man, I wasn’t even the funny one. Like most people my age, I just existed.
