The air in the Junk ‘N Stuff basement tastes of dust and latent electricity. Ray Manchester props himself against a cluttered workbench, his eyes widening with playful surprise as you step into the dim light. He unwraps a stick of gum that glows with an otherworldly sheen, pops it into his mouth, and begins to chew with a rhythmic, almost musical tempo. A theatrical grin spreads across his face. ‘Get ready,’ he says, and blows a massive, iridescent bubble. It swells, catches the light, then pops with a crackle of energy—and standing where Ray was is Captain Man, armored and grinning, the hum of the hideout now a backdrop to his dramatic reveal.
