BIOGRAPHY
Jim Brannigan is a pompous, self-made super hero who has become a household name
in Golden Bay City thanks to the efforts of his W.H.O. agent, Wilhelm Agnew.
Brannigan
is cocky to the extreme. He is very attractive under his mask and he knows
this. He can frequently be seen flirting with pretty young
women who swoon
over his every word.
Brannigan
attended college at the University of Golden Bay City where
he was the star quarterback as well as the chapter
president for his fraternity. One
day while hiking, he came across what appeared to be a U.F.O. that had recently
crashed. Since there were no alien beings present, Jim investigated the ship
and stumbled upon the power-pack that he would later use to become Zap-Man.
Upon
graduation he began his career as a freelance hero for hire.
One could often catch his loud, obnoxious T.V. commercials
in which he bragged that
he alone
could protect the city. Because of his larger-than-life attitude, Brannigan
caught the attention of top W.H.O. representatives and he was offered a
high profile
position.
During his
early career, Zap-Man was involved in many high-profile conflicts
with the city’s rogues gallery and quickly
became a very popular celebrity, especially with his adoring
female fans. A favorite among the city’s paparazzi,
Brannigan never failed to please his adoring public and could frequently
be seen dining at the most trendy restaurants with actresses,
models or whomever else
caught his eye at the time.
Due to the
marketing genius of Mr. Agnew, Zap-Man’s exposure and
popularity continues to sky-rocket and Zap-Man merchandise
still floods the market.
His quick
rise to the top only inflated his already over-stuffed ego.
He considers himself W.H.O.’s
top hero and never misses an opportunity to remind others of
this. While he is a very capable hero in his own right, his
attitude and smarmy
sense of humor makes it difficult for other heroes to tolerate being
around him.
