Ultra Biographies

Richard Reeves / Ultra Maroon - Richard Reeves is a billionaire playboy who's parents weren't killed in a dark alley late one night. As a matter of fact, he still lives with them, and he works as a manager at his father's multinational corporation, Megacorp. He's a bit of a kid at heart (and brain), and that is what motivates him to become Ultra Maroon, Superhero.

Bob - Bob is a lawyer at Megacorp, who sees a golden opportunity to turn Richard into a superhero. Actually, he really sees a golden opportunity to make money as Ultra Maroon's PR manager. Bob also happens to be in the middle of a bit of a mid-life crisis, and being a part of the superhero business makes him feel younger.

Mom and Dad - Richard's parents are a bit on the eccentric side (for example, mom won't let the butler do any work, and it drives him nuts.) This suits them just fine, because being eccentric is practically a prerequisite for billionaires.

Woodsworth - The Reeves' loyal family butler has spent twenty long years serving them. Actually, he spends most of his time not serving them, as Mrs. Reeves insists on doing all of the cooking, cleaning, and hosting by herself. When Woodsworth is eventually let in on Richard's alterego, Ultra Maroon, he savours the chance to be a part of something for a change.

Ultra Maroon's Staff - Thanks to the oodles of money his parents have, Richard is able to afford a complete crime-fighting staff! Actually, Bob hired them, but they turn out to be quite handy.

The Villain - Bob and Richard soon discover that Megaville has no villains suitable for fighting. They remedy this situation by finding the most psychologically unstable person in the city, and bribing him to be their villain. Originally, he was a disgruntled postal worker whom I called Mailman (clever, huh?) However, disgruntled mailmen have become a bit cliche, and I think a disgruntled Milk Man might be funnier...any thoughts?
