just in case you wanted to read FLYING RAT MAN’s full back story, here it is:
“It all started when my parents were BRUTALLY MURDERED one night after a performance of MADAME BUTTERFLY. as i recall, the soprano cast as lead was particularly awful… in any case, i had to watch as a man i later learned to be my arch enemy THE JOKESTER shot my parents in COLD BLOOD! what is a boy to do? well since you asked, i decided to devote my life to striking FEAR into the hearts of my enemies. I thought to myself, Bruce, what’s REALLY scary? and i thought, RATS! OF COURSE! and the only thing that would be scarier than LAND RATS is FLYING RATS! can you imagine? rats with wings? absurd! that’s the thing NIGHTMARES are made of. I was thinking of calling myself NIGHTMARE MAN, but flying rat man seemed like a more appropriate title.
