After going to a frat party and later going out for pizza, he misses the explosion of the ax-cell-erator and the super powers people exposed to it consequently develop.[2] Although he himself has no powers, he talks the other freshmen into becoming superheroes and fighting criminals.[3] To compensate for his lack of supernatural abilities, he has developed a suit of armor and various comic-inspired gadgets, like a grappling hook launcher and special goggles.[4]

After the team's first field assignment is successful he becomes team leader. However their second field assignment is not and Seductress is critically injured by Rob the frat guy and his Hulking Frat Guys. He blames himself for Seductress injuries, and allows Rob the frat guy and his Hulking Frat Guys to take him to see Dr. Theodore Tomlinson in hopes of getting his own superpowers.[5] He betrays the team and helps Dr. Tomlinson in spreading a disease to millions. He is talked out of releasing the deadly virus by his teammate, Annalee Rogers.[6]
