—Combo Man[source]

Combo Man was a mild mannered student until a science experiment between Combos^TM Baked Snacks and Marvel Comics gave him the powers and weaknesses of fourteen superhumans.

History

Rick Wilder was a student at a school who was constantly bullied into burglarizing the school's lab, but at the same time, A.I.M. was also burglarizing the lab. After getting into a brief skirmish, there was an explosion, and Combo Man was born since Rick was carrying both Marvel Comics and Combos^TM Baked Snacks. Using his new found powers, he defeated A.I.M., as well as their Super-Adaptoid, and learned a lesson about peer pressure.

Becoming Combo Man

Combo Man had his own booth at The Alley Behind A Closed-Down Laundromat Comic-Con in New York City along with other lesser-known comic book characters such as Brute Force, Spider-Ham, Forbush Man, Flatman, Obnoxio the Clown, Wundarr the Aquarian, and Captain Ultra.
