BioSo, you want to know about me?
I'm half tempted to tell you to get in the ring with me first. After all, sometimes the best way to understand a person is to see how they fight. But I guess I'm mellowing in my old age, as Star would say.
I grew up an orphan, and back then.. you didn't have many options to pull yourself up when you didn't have a family. I found my way out in the boxing ring. I gave blood, sweat and a massive heap of my formitive years to the training that made me a heavyweight champion.
Pity my managers didn't have that same dedication. And it cost me the man that taught me everything I knew, and almost my freedom. Framed for the crimes they commited, it took the inspiration of a Green Lantern comic to put me on the path to justice. The cat suit, well even I can't exactly explain what I was thinking when I made it.
The rest, well it became history, and I found myself smack dab in the middle of it.
From teaching some of the best heros in the game, to helping found the Justice Society of America, to still fighting the good fight at my age. I've done it all and then some..
And if I keep in shape, I may have another ten-fifteen years ahead of me.
See, little known fact is that all those years ago, I was involved in an experiment.. and it literally gave me nine lives. Helps explain how a septigenarian like me is still in the prime shape the ladies have come to know and love. Unfortunatly, I'm on my last now.
It gives a fella something to think about. Knowing that I don't have that safety net under me any more.. that the next fight could be my last.
But you know what? I don't regret a single damned thing.
