Occasionally, when needed, I've been know to wear a suit. Do you wear makeup? No What is your vocal range? Is your voice distinctive in some way? I'm a bass. I don't think it's all that distinctive.

Do other people notice and remark on these habits? Do they annoy you or other people? No real habits unless you call working out three times a day a habit. History Spoiler Where do you come from? Chicago Have you made any major moves, or do you live in your hometown? Moved from Chicago to Freedom City Do you feel loyal to your country of citizenship? Do you consider yourself patriotic? How do you feel about the government of your country? Yes, I feel loyal to America, but I don't consider myself a patriot. These days, the government is going to hell. How do you feel about the place you come from? Chicago will always be home. Where is your home town? What was/is it like? Chicago. It was nice enough place when I was growing up. Now, the area has decayed. Growing up, were most of the people you knew similar to you, or were you somehow a minority? How did that affect you? Yes, though they weren't into body building like me. When my muscles started showing, most people stopped picking on me. Is there something you've always been really good at or really bad at? How has that affected your life? I've always been good at wrestling so much that I made it my life's work. Were there any traumatic experiences in your early years (death of a family member, abandonment, orphaned at an early age)? My mom passed away when I was in high school. I still regret not having see the man I've become. Briefly describe a defining moment in your childhood and how it influenced your life. I caught an old video of Hulk Hogan wrestling against Andre the Giant at Wrestle Mania. Seeing how the crowds reacted to the fight, I knew I wanted to become a wrestler. What stupid things did you do when you were younger? I tried to do a DDT on my little brother. He was in the hospital for a week afterwards.Where did you go to school? How much school did you have, and did you enjoy it? I went to Whitney Young High school in Chicago. After graduating, I spent four years at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. For the most part it was fun. I guess that's where I managed to pick up my love of wrestling. Do you have any mementos of your childhood? What are they, and why did you keep them? If you have none, why not? No mementos from childhood. Just never thought they were all that important. From my early twenties, however, I've kept a few of the wrestling awards I won in the PCW. When did you decide to become a hero? Why? Did anyone influence you one way or another in the decision? This is a hard question to answer. I guess I decided to become a hero once my powers were activated. My brother kind of helped me head in that direction, but I think he was just yanking my chain. Man, did I surprise him! Is the reason you give people for becoming a hero different than your real reason? If so, why? Yes, because no one wants a hero to be human like them. Do you have any deep, dark secrets in the past that may come back to haunt you? Yeah. I try to avoid explaining exactly how I got my abilities. Do you represent yourself as being different from who you really are? Why? Not at all. The world's a stage and I aim to conquer it. If you do have these secrets, what do you fear would happen if the truth became known? How far would you go to protect those secrets? If my secret were to come out, I would lose my fan base and that is the death of every wrestler in this business. If they can't trust me, then I have no place doing the job. I guess the limit is intimidation but that's about as far as I would go. Do you have any sort of criminal record? If so, is it public knowledge? No criminal record. Family Spoiler What are your biological parents' names? Vicki and FredrickWere you raised by them? If not, please explain and describe who raised you. Yes. What was their standing in the community? What did/do they do for a living? Mom was a house wife, Dad worked as technician. Where are your parents now? Both have passed away. Did your family stay in one area or move around a lot? Stayed in the city though they did live in a few different neighborhoods. How did you get along with their parents? How do you get along with them now (if applicable). I got along well with them. They encouraged me to follow my dreams. How do your parents view you now, or how would they? I think they would be proud of what I have become. Do you have any siblings? If so how many and what are their names? Describe your relationship with them. Yes, an older sister, Camile, and a younger brother, Jerome. For the most part we're good, though they never really understood why I decided to go into wrestling. What was your birth order in the family? I was the middle child. Where are your siblings now (if applicable)? Do they have families of their own? What do they do? Both are in Chicago. Jerome has a wife and two boys. He's a teacher at the University of Chicago. Camile is divorced, no kids. Right now, she's working for an advertising agency. Do you stay in touch with them or have you become estranged? Yeah, I make sure to call them on their birthdays. When we have time, we meet up during the holidays. Do you love or hate one member of the family in particular? Not really. They both have their good and bad parts. Tends to change over the years as to loving or hating more. Is any member of the family special to you in any way (perhaps, as a confidant, mentor, or arch-rival)? No. Are there any black (or white) sheep in the family (including you)? If so, please explain. No. Do you have a notorious or celebrated ancestor? If so, please explain, including how it has affected your life. No. Do you have a partner and children currently? If so, please describe them. I hope not. Seriously though, I'm still single. If you do not have a partner or children, do you want them someday? How firm are you in your opinion on this, and what might change your mind? I guess I would like to have a few kids to call my own. It really depends on how this new Hero business turns out. What type of person would be your ideal mate? Someone who understands that physical fitness is very important to me. They would have to love and understand wrestling at least a little. I can't be with someone who's worried about my safety. Relationships Spoiler Do you have any close friends? If so, please describe them, and how you came to be close to them. I have a few good friends. There's Jesse "The Spur" Cassidy who I've had the pleasure of wrestling against on numerous occasions. He's the closes friend I have right now.Do you have a best friend? If so, how did they become your best friend? How close are you to your best friend? No.If you were to go missing, who would worry about you? I guess my brother and sister would miss me. Have you lost any loves? If so, how did it happen, and what did you do? Once. She didn't understand that wrestling was taking a big part of my life. She couldn't handle that so we parted ways. It was the hardest time in my life. Do you have any bitter enemies? If so, please describe them and their history with you. Not that I know of. If you have enemies, how do you think they might attempt to work against you in the future? If I had any enemies, I guess that would try to discredit me. Again, losing the trust of my fan base is like getting shot multiple times. It really hurts! What is the worst thing someone has done to you? Someone stole my car.Where do your loyalties lie? In what order? My family first, then my friends. After that, everything is pretty much the same.Who or what do you trust the most? Why? I trust my family the most because they will always be real with me. They will never let my fame or abilities cloud their ability to call me out for doing something wrong.Who or what do you despise? Why? I despise quitters. Something about them just turns my stomach. I think it's because I've always tried to do my best and believe that if you try, you should be rewarded.What qualities do you admire most in other people? Are these qualities you possess? I admire people who never give up. It is a trait that I share.What qualities do you hate most in other people? Do you have any of those qualities? I hate seeing people who don't want to try. No, I'm not like that.Do you have a secret identity? If so, who knows it? Do you hide it from people who are close to you? Why? No. Do you work well on teams and in groups? Are you a leader or a follower? Depends. For the most part, I've always been a solo act in the ring. Occasionally, when it's needed I can step up into the leader role, but I perfer being a follower. More fun that way. Are you on a super team? If so, how do you get along with your comrades? Do you trust them, or do you have secrets from them? No. Are you a member of any church, fraternal organization, club, committee, political party, or other group? How much time do you spend on that?

My parents.Did you ever become disillusioned with former heroes or idols? If so, why and what were the circumstances? No.Do you like being a hero? If so, what is the most rewarding part? If not, what makes you keep doing it? Not sure yet.

I guess to leave a great impression on the youths of today.What is your greatest fear? Why? What do you do when something triggers this fear?

I would do anything for them.How do you feel about money and material wealth? Do you desire it or disdain it? Are you miserly with what you have, or do you like to share?

Another way to bust my popularity.How do you generally treat others? With respect and courtesy. It's how I like to be treated.Are you a trusting person? Has your trust ever been abused?

I haven't killed anyone and there hasn't been a situation where I needed to make that choice. For now, I'm just grateful that the situation hasn't come up. What circumstances led to you forming that conviction, or taking that action? It was just the way I was raised. My parents weren't violent, so I guess deep down, neither am I. Are there circumstances under which you believe it is permissible to kill? What are they? I'm not really sure. I try not to dwell on such a dark topic. Life is too short to worry about such dreary things. How would you react to watching someone kill another person? Would your reaction be different if the killer was a friend or an enemy of yours? Again, I'm not sure. I would like to think I would be horrified, but I can imagine a time when it might be the only way. How would you react if something important was stolen from you? I would be upset and hurt.How would you react to public humiliation? I would try to find a way to turn things around. You know, make lemonade from lemons.How would you react if a good friend or relative were purposely or accidentally killed? Has it happened to you? I would be angry and hut.
