To
the outside world Chris Bolton appears to be a mild-mannered employee in the Web
Marketing department at Powell's. In truth, he developed superhuman abilities
during adolescence and lives a double life. His days are spent providing images
and content for Powells.com — but when the veil of night falls, he dons a cape
and tights to save the world and entertain friends. His powers have yet to fully
define themselves; they appear to have something to do with salted snack foods
and the color purple. In his secret identity he writes a web-comic called Smash with his artist brother, Kyle.
