GENERIC MAN

Real Name: John Doe

Class: Altered human

Occupation: Accountant

Group Affiliation: None

Known Relatives: None

Aliases: None

Base of Operations: Delta City

First Appearance: Heckler #2 (October, 1992)

Powers: The Generic Man has the appearance of a sketch of a human, with few defining characteristics such as a nose, eyes etc. He is incapable of expressing much emotion, but as his mood changes, the name of that feeling appears on his body. Anything or anyone that comes into contact with the Generic Man becomes generic just like him, but these effects appear to be temporary.

History: (Heckler #2)-Little is known of the Generic Man's past, but he was formerly an accountant for Delta City crimelord Boss Glitter. At some point he gained his powers and spent some time in a mental institution. After being released he led the life of a shut-in, being taken care of by his superhuman girlfriend Buckshot. One fateful day he read about Delta City's one and only hero, the Heckler. He opposes individuality, believing it to be the root of all human conflict, so he felt the need to counterbalance Heckler's influence on the city. He bathed in the city reservoir, genericating a good portion of the city. Boss Glitter and the Heckler both tried to put a stop to his generic ways, but in the end he was gunned down by the vigilante named Minx. Shortly thereafter he was reincarnated.
