25. Trouble Lurking


There is a story behind this one, and don't worry, it's not what you think. It's arguably weirder. A while ago I was thinking about unusual superheroes and came up with the occasional really odd one. My major contribution to the superhero tradition was Wardrobe Man, a nefarious antihero with the seemingly prosaic ability to turn himself into furniture. Now it might seem dull and useless to the uninitiated, but anybody who's seen Star Trek: Deep Space Nine is fully aware of the espionage potential of being able to hide a person innocuously in a room for even a matter of hours. Wardrobe Man is the ultimate child-snatcher: what child is going to resist a wardrobe that might be a doorway into Narnia? Spare Oom? Spare Cash For Kids, more like.
