BALLMAN

There once was a young boy named Billy Bobbins. His parents took him to the pizza parlor where he loved playing in the ball pits. One day he jumped into a ball pit and came out with a hypodermic needle stuck to his arm.

Billy yanked the syringe out and gazed at the strange green-red substance.

There was some strange liquid in it that infected and started changing his body.

He began to transform, with giant colored balls all over. Soon, muscles bulged with these balls. He was covered in balls. He quickly earned the nickname, BALLMAN. At first he didn’t like it, but it grew on him, because those balls could bounce him everywhere ….

He also gained new powers, immense strength, the ability to bounce off anything and soar into the sky flying.

At first, Billy believed he was cursed, but when he stopped a purse snatcher one day, people cheered for him. He changed his name forever to BALLMAN and made it his life mission to go after criminals, especially those that contaminated ball pits with litter, garbage and illicit drugs.

He would stop and give ice cream to children. One of them pointed out that the B was missing on his chest in place of a familiar S from that other Superhero guy. BALLMAN just shrugged off this detail, because he knew who was the real elastic superhero of the skies.

After all, they named streets after him. Oh, and BALLMAN always helped the blind and elderly walk across the street. Nobody good was getting hit by vehicles in a crosswalk on BALLMAN’s watch.

One day, he encountered his nemesis: HypoMan. This ugly creature roamed the world with syringes sticking out of him. He contaminated ball pits intentionally. BALLMAN vowed to take him down.

They fought in a ball pit and BALLMAN was victorious.

There were soon beliefs that BALLMAN was something else, perhaps a cosmic figure should be worshipped. Maybe BALLMAN could save mankind with his good deeds. BALLMAN gave sermons every Sunday, spreading this new religion that BALLMAN SAVES.

Everywhere in the world the people celebrate the glory of the great superhero know as BALLMAN.
