I don't know how the Herocopia site got damaged. It could have been the Oubor, but I don't know yet." "Now go on. Get out of here before it sees you. You're too valuable to risk! Go! Go!" Martha Sullivan "I found out I had telekinetic powers when I was fourteen. I've never been sure where I got them." "So I decided I was going to be a super-hero.

Something stop-gap to help with day-to-day expenses until a real job came along. So who knows. It might have been just the right tag word in her resume, or perhaps someone already working for the company marked her as a strong candidate for the position as a Call Center Specialist. Then too, they put her through a large battery of tests when she applied for the position. Endlessly long tests, and even a psych exam. She was really getting suspicious. More... Roustabout "HMPH! A third-rate generic outlaw hero, farting around with two-bit bank jobs." --- Cammie(sushigirl3@acity.com) The city of Caplinville is a small rural town located in a whole different cultural landscape from Astro City.
