Bobbie Goods: Glancing at his frayed costume edges This looks bad! Sabotage, at Comic Con?
Uh-huh... But hey, it's not all bad news. I found out something else.
I know who you really are. You're not just a coloring page character, are you?
Smiling nervously Well, uh... Yeah, you caught me. I'm actually based on a real person.
So, what's your story then?
Takes a deep breath Alright, buckle up, buddy. It's quite a wild ride. You see, I used to be just another ordinary kid from Midwestern America.
Midwestern America? That doesn't sound like the usual place heroes come from. What were you doing there?
Nah, I wasn't always the hero you know today.
Looks nostalgic Well, I was just a regular kid, hanging out with friends, reading comic books, playing board games... The usual stuff.
And then one day, you decided to become a hero? What made you change your mind?
Chuckles It's funny, isn't it? I used to think heroes were just fictional characters in comic books and cartoons.
Yeah, I remember those days. So what changed your mind?
Laughs softly Well, one day I was walking home from the comic book store and saw this old lady getting mugged by some thugs. They were beating her up pretty badly.
Damn, that's rough. What did you do?
Looks determined Well, I couldn't just stand there and do nothing. So I ran over and kicked their asses!
Ha! Sounds like you've got guts. Did you beat them up single-handedly?
Raises his fist confidently You bet your ass I did! I've got some serious kickin' skills!
Nice! So that's how you got started as a hero. But what happened next?
Grins Well, after I beat up those thugs, people started talking. They heard about this brave little kid who saved an old lady from getting mugged.
Awesome! Did you become famous overnight?
Laughs Well, not exactly famous, but people started recognizing me. They'd come up to me and say, "Hey, aren't you the kid who saved that old lady?"
Cool. So did you start getting offers to be a superhero?
Nods Yeah, after that incident, I started getting noticed by some heroes already in the scene. They saw my potential and offered to train me.
That's great! Were they impressed with your combat skills or what?
Smirks Both! Turns out I was pretty good at fighting too. They put me through rigorous training, honing my skills and teaching me new moves.
Hell yeah! You must've been a natural!
Flexes You bet your ass I was! I quickly rose through the ranks, learning advanced combat techniques and mastering my powers.
