the Secret Origin of .... the Terriffic TOASTMASTERBradley Krumm is the eldest son of Olaf Krumm, founder and owner of KrispyKrumm bakeries, Inc., and the heir to the modest-but-consequencial Krumm fortune (and the business itself). Raised to have a strong work ethic by his self-made millionare father, Bradley worked hard to live up to the responsibilities which he would inherit. He earned Master's Degrees in Accounting and Business Management, with a minor in Commercial Foods, by the age of 20. He also joined Toastmasters International www.toastmasters.org/about.asp, which honed his natural leadership and public-speaking skills. Quickly climbing the ladder from bakery blue-collar worker (no favoritism for the children of Olaf Krumm!) all the way to Senior Executive Manager, Bradley showed himself to be the ideal boss: a friend to every worker (the names of all of whom he makes it a point to know), a creative thinker, and an excellent leader. It was creative thinking which changed the course of Bradley Krumm's life. As an accomplished cook and baker, he often spent his free time experimenting in the kitchen, looking for ways to expand the KrispyKrumm repetoire of flavored toasted breads, croutons, and pretzels. It was late enough at night to be called early morning when he stumbled across something really unusual, a strain of yeast which seemed to have mutated under experimental conditions which Bradley could never seem to recall afterwards. But what to do with a new species of yeast? On a whim, he used some to bake a loaf of bread. Was he mad to cut a slice? Mad to toast it lightly, to add butter and a little honey, to eat the softly-glowing foodstuff? Maybe .... but it was madness born of genius and, perhaps, of Destiny; for it was on that night that the Toastmaster came to be! Bradley Krumm's body chemistry was altered by the Meta-Yeast in that slice of toast. He found that his metabolism could utilize the nutrients in toast with utmost efficiency: never more than a casual exerciser, he gradually became as strong, as healthy, as quick as any Olympic athelete. On a diet of 90% toast, he could heal from even serious injury within hours. More, he found that the specific molecules of bread, especially that which had been heated to the point of crispness, called out to him! Not only could he feel the presence of toast, even from miles away, but he could actually cause it to move, as easily as if it were a part of his own body, or even to vanish, reappearing near him as if eager to do his bidding. The rest of the Meta-Yeast he has kept alive in, and though he has never been able to reproduce the exact results of that first loaf in another person, he has found that any toast made with that mutant yeast has amazing restorative properties. Though he is now far more than human, the heir to the KrispyKrumm toast empire has not lost his focus. As Toastmaster, he still does his level best to live up to the responsibilities which great power bring. Other heroes may laugh and crowds may mock, at first, but in the end they will come to know the power of .... the TOASTMASTER!

There ya go, Pirate. Use him as you will: he's a candidate for a Loser Hero team, comic relief, a misguided villain (if, say, a super-battle accidentally destroyed a KrispyKrumm building), or even a serious, though unfortunate, character. (He does take himself seriously, although he knows that his powers are a bit on the lame side, because he also knows that normal people can't do the things he does. Besides, he's charismatic, creative, and a great leader! And, heh, how emarrassing would it be for some super-villain to get the snot beaten out of him by the Toastmaster? Heh, heh.)

I tried loading it to HeroMachine, and it works, except that where it says "ABC" on his chest, there should instead be a "T" on the left of his chest (your right). Dunno why that didn't take. |
