Dock Boy


Dock Boy is my flagship character. He was created during the summer of 1996 (between my Junior and Senior years in high school) when I worked at a marina as--brace yourselves--the dock boy. After a long, hard day of work, I sat down and doodled an answer to the question "What would the best dock boy in the world be like?" In my twisted view of reality, he came out as a superhero. He doesn't have any super powers, per se, but he's a natural athlete and excellent swimmer, with uncanny balance and intuitive navigation skills. These are all things that would come in handy as a dock boy and as the masked protector of Baytown, Vermont(modeled not-so-loosely on Colchester, VT).
