Answer Man

A long time ago, in the same year when the light from a supernova in the outskirts of the Tarantula Nebula in the Large Magellanic Cloud appeared on Earth, a hero was born.
He shared his birthday with another lesser known hero called N Pai(together with Palass, they were known as: Ass Pain). N Pai had no powers of great consequence, but was known to have a pure heart, thus enabling him perceive any movie in 3-D.
Anyway, our hero in focus is the Answer Man. Like Batman, he was not born with his powers, he had a traumatic experience as a kid, which changed his perception of life, the universe and everything.
When we think of the Answer Man, we think of a person who has the answers to everything, the answers may be difficult to comprehend or might not make any sense at all, but still are answers nonetheless.
To come up with answers to questions like 'How much wood could a woodchuck chuck, if a woodchuck could chuck wood?'would take a microsecond for the Answer Man to answer. It is also tipped that Answer Man provided Douglas Adams with the answer 42.
If he does not have an answer, he might just say-'OK.', which would leave the people perplexed and they would reconsider the question, but never doubt the Answer Man, for he is mighty,wise and all-knowing. He is even known to have given answers in his sleep, these answers cannot not comprehended by simple beings, for in his sleep he ascends to a realm of randomness and picks out words from here and there to match the question's context.
If the people didn't understand any answer by our Hero,then he would give them a certain substance which would make them happy and they would forget about the question itself.
Like any other super hero, the answer man has a mortal enemy,he is called Kamina Triam. Our hero has a weakness,he cannot bear sound of a certain frequency, this frequency happens to be the same as Kamina speaks in. So basically whenever Kamina Speaks, Answer Man struggles to be sane. Also the fact that Kamina lives next door , watches sitcoms till late night and keeps on giggling like a girl does not help.
Anyway in the next few posts we shall study about the origins of Answer Man. What made him the way he is today.
