Biography[edit]
Origin[edit]
Raymond was born to scientist Carl Manchester and an unnamed mother. He was an ordinary human being just like everybody else, who lived in a town called Swellview. But that would all change in 1989, when one day, 8 year-old Ray, who was skateboarding in his father's laboratory during take your kid to work day, accidentally skated towards his father's indestructible machine, the Trans-Molecular Densitizer, pushing the lever in the process and gaining the power of indestructibility. Despite his extra years of childhood prior to the incident, he never went camping, rode roller coasters, or learned how to ride a bike (he was also pulled out of school by his father, possibly out of fear his newfound powers would harm those around him were he not careful).
His father saw the whole change and to test this theory, he scanned Ray with a detector to see if he really became indestructible. The results were positive and Carl whacked Ray with the detector in the head, with Ray only feeling pain for a second. With his son now indestructible and happy that he is okay, Carl told Ray he would grow up and do special things. Thus Captain Man was born and he would fight crime in the city of Swellview; another motivation for him to fight crime was when a street gang, known as the Wall Dogs, vandalized his playhouse when he was still a boy.
After more than a decade of crime-fighting as a superhero, Ray began to fall out of touch with his secret identity and in 2014, placed an ad calling for a sidekick (under the guise of a Junk N' Stuff. His intention was to train the sidekick well enough to make him a potential successor when he retires. The glimmer of hope would arrive in the form of Henry Hart, a 13-year-old boy from the Swellview area. After a quick, brief interview, Ray would chew on a gumball and blow a bubble in Henry's presence, revealing himself as Captain Man. To prove if Henry was the sidekick he needs, he set up a physical test just for him while he faked an injury.
