Mr. Magnificent About

Metroplex

This is the city, Metroplex. A very nice place to raise your kids, in between crime waves. Metroplex is one of our largest cities. Its a port city, nestled on the fair shores of Lake Mushikumi. Metroplex has been designated a point of exit for all the undesirables who have infiltrated our great society.

The Daily Trifetca

In the center of Metroplex, we find the building of the Daily Trifecta. A daily newspaper edited by the great editor Gerry Black, who strives to keep the ever diminishing reading public up to date on what happened yesterday.

Will Clark

Will Clark is humble soul. He was born in a small town just outside of Metroplex. His parents died when he was very young. His grandparents raised him.

His grandfather died when he was a teenager. That left just Will and Granny Clark.

In high school, he was thought of as a nerdy kid. Easily dismissed. He worked on the high school paper, where he was noted for his stories and being able to meet a deadline, no matter what.

He went to Metroplex City College, majoring in journalism. There he worked on the college newspaper, City Beat, working his way up to being one of the editors.

After graduation, Will Clark worked in various newspapers and a few radio stations, till the day he convinced Gerry Black to take a chance on Will. This became something Gerry never regretted. Although a humble person, Will is known for being a top reporter who has never missed a deadline. However, Will Clark is such a humble person that the less talented members of the staff has made Will Clark the butt of their jokes.

Gerry Black

Gerry Black is the editor of the Morning Star. Gerry Black worked as a show biz hack working for a television show that was canceled after one episode. Afterward, Gerry found out a tip that the gorillas in the Metroplex zoo were eating buttered lobster pasta instead of bananas. With this tip, he was able to negotiate a job at one of Metroplex’s fine newspapers. From there, he has worked his way up to managing editor of the Daily Trifecta, earning several awards along the way. Rough, cantankerous, yet with a good heart. He is a Type A personality, but he cares about and worries over his reporters, especially Carol, his ace reporter. Usually with a coffee cup in his hand.

Carol Avenue

Carol Avenue is a hard working, no nonsense reporter. Nice, but strong minded, strong willed. Will Clark is secretly attracted to her. She likes him and tries to buck him up. She seems to realize that Will Clark is a good, possibly great, reporter. Carol was raised in a lower middle class family. She vowed to never be hungry again. She worked her way through night classes in journalism, then worked her way to being the top journalist in Metroplex. She always wants to get the best story, no matter what. Carol cares about Will deeply. Perhaps more than just simply colleagues.

Kaz

Kaz is the staff gopher, but he becomes a friend to both Will & Carol. Therefore, he is usually with one or both of them in their adventures. He secretly dreams of becoming an ace reporter like Carol Avenue or Will Clark.

Prof. Bratwurst

One day, Gerry Black sent Will Clark to interview Professor Bratwurst. Professor Bratwurst was a professor of physics and chemistry at Metroplex University. He was one of the professors that tossed out Dr. Periwinkle for violating University policies.

Tommy Larson

Professor Bratwurst has the help of his assistant, Tommy Larson. In addition to helping Professor Bratwurst, Tommy is a computer and broadcasting nerd, particularly broadcasting. He loves radio and is quite knowledgeable about all forms of communication.

Professor Bratwurst has developed a pill that will change ordinary people, like Will Clark, into a superhero like Superman. Will took the pill and turned into Mr. Magnificent, protector of the downtrodden, friend of the forces of law and order, the worst nightmare any crook could imagine!

Protecting Metroplex since coffee in the morning, Mr. Magnificent is there when we need him!
