Who is the Flaming C? Who is the amazing costumed avenger that fights for the safety of all those within ear-shot or who so happen to have his phone number? Who was he before he became the premier hero of the modern age? Honesty it would take away from the character, robbing him of the mysterious charm that makes oh so alluring, but since this is going happen away we may as well get started… Ahem… Prepare yourselves faithful readers since what follows is the all true, all action origin of Earth’s Most Uniquely Dressed Hero, THE FLAMING C!
Our story begins years ago when after a nice dinner out Bertram and Margret LaRue begin to get frisky… Wait this may be to far back… Flash forward 27 years into the future and we find ourselves at the grand opening of the Charlton Community Commercial Center in Holyoke, Massachusetts. Among the multitude gathered we find one Conrad “Conan” LaRue, a local field reporter for WNAP 35 better known as Coco LaRue the News Dude. He is of course here to report on opening of this brand new shopping center, but little does he that soon he himself will become the news story. Suddenly without warning the ground shuttered, the floor of the manager‘s office had caved in trapping the manager’s young boy and girl who had be put down for a nap. Without a moment’s hesitation Conrad rushed in saving the children from falling in the widening pit. As Conrad hurried the children through the front door, he turned his head as he heard an explosion emanating from the back room. In the next moment he was overcome by a blinding blue brust of light.
Since unknown to the throng of people gathered that before the land was cleared on this very spot stood a secret laboratory run by a shadowy cabal of mad scientists, who were forced to abandoned the site after a mysterious explosion destroyed the building. But below the ground in a secret vault their greatest invention remained, the Territorial Bonding System, a device that could infer traits of the surrounding environment onto a subject granting the amazing abilities beyond the limits of normal men. This vault was now located directly under the manager’s office. The immense weight of the shopping center’s foundation has slowly began to stress the ceiling of vault already strained from explosion. Until it just finally gave in. But the cave in wasn’t the only accident to take place either, rubble from ceiling and foundation hit the Territorial Bonding System causing it overload and the energy released was the strange light engulfing Conrad.
As Conrad awoke he felt odd to say the least, the energy from the Territorial Bonding System had granted him amazing new powers based on the stores surrounding the office. From the sporting good store he gained the power of super traction thanks to his golf shoes of justice and the ability to return anything thrown at him including insults thanks to the xistera of righteous now affixed to his left hand. From the bakery he gained heated touch thanks the pecan sandie scented oven-mitt on his right. Also thanks to the bakery owner’s son selling pot out of the back he gained to ability to eat anything and everything. Finally from the Jewish Tattoo Parlor he gained his mighty emblems. And as Conrad finally began to stand it was no longer as Coco LaRue the News Dude it was as the one of Earth’s Champions, the Flaming C!
