Introduction to The Manbat

This blog is going to be a collection of stories told by my brother and I about a fictional 23 year old guy named Wayne Bruzinski who tries to emulate a well known superhero.  The problem with Wayne is that things never quite go as planned, much like a real person trying to be a superhero would.

Wayne lives in Chillicothe, Ohio.  He presides over both Dayton and Columbus, as well as the outlying areas.  He works at a fictional local mom and pop gas station called "Gas Up" for little more than minimum wage.  Wayne works first shift, Monday through Friday and has every weekend off.  He lives in a studio apartment, though he recently has started to rent another studio apartment in Jeffersonville, Ohio that he stays at on the weekends and refers to as the "Mancave". 

He spends his weekday evenings listening to a base unit police radio scanner (which is very static filled when listening to Columbus or Dayton) waiting to hear if there is trouble in Dayton, Columbus, or Chillicothe.  When he picks up a call, he jumps in the Manbatmobile (a 1997 Ford Escort Wagon) and responds.

Wayne doesn't have much money, but he's very innovative and improvisational.  He makes all of his own implements to the best of his ability from what he has available.  We will learn more of said implements as the stories develop.

I feel that I have to say that Wayne will pretty much be dying in every single story.  This is not supposed to be realistic at all, we're just writing funny stories about the things that could go very wrong when you put yourself in these kinds of situations.

Suspend your belief and don't drink any milk while you are reading these stories.

Without further adieu I present to you, The Manbat!
