Vaser Cat

Back in 1985 I started to draw. I wanted to draw Captain Carrot and His Amazing Zoo Crew!. At the age of 12 I would make up stories for the Zoo Crew!. In these stories I started creating my own characters. Vaser Cat was the first character I ever created.
 Vaser Cat is sort of a parody of the Green Lantern. He has  a power ring that gives him his powers. He can fly, an energy shield, and is able to shoot energy blasts.The ring also lets him breath in space and under water.
 In the beginning, I made him to be a new member of the Zoo Crew!. When I started working on my original comics, I made him the leader of my first super team The Animalistics. As time went on, and I focused on Megamoose, I decided to change my team to a JLA parody called The Mighty Menagerie. With the new  team I put Vaser Cat as the Green Lantern like guy.

Chum the Wonder Squirrel

When I first decided to do a solo Megamoose story, I wanted to give him a sidekick. What better sidekick for a moose than a squirrel. Enter Chum the Wonder Squirrel.
 Chum got his name base on heroes calling their sidekicks chum and not the name for shark bait. I pretty much based him on Robin and I even based his outfit on Robin's. Chum's back story is quite interesting. He is the son of Dr. Clayton Forrestsquirrel , The creator of the Mega Steroid that gave Megamoose his powers, and a member of a hero group called the Kung Fu Squirrels. His mom disappeared in the 90s leaving his father to raise him with his maternal grandpa, a hero from the 60s known as the Shao Lin Squirrel. Chum gets his intelligence from his dad and was trained by his grandpa.
