History
Hank Cobb was an athletic instructor at an undisclosed "State University" where he was competing for the love of Lorna Bond with Professor Philip Hayden also known as the Brain. After Philip Hayden disappeared into a time flaw and reappeared some time later he met with Hank a changed man. No longer was Philip the small framed weakling he was prior. Philip had asked Hank for clothes and to stay away from Lorna. Hank informed Philip that while he was away Lorna had married Philip's replacement professor who was just as skinny as Philip had been prior. The two men bonded on their failed courtship and Hank gave Philip the nickname "Muscles".[1]
