[edit] Fictional character biography
Jack Castle, a renowned scientist, was called in by the police to help investigate a case in which zombies were abducting. While investigating, however, he is captured by a zombie and brought before the "The Zombie Master," a 20' tall mad scientist who is kidnapping the hobos and then using a special ray to turn the hobos into zombies. He tries to do this to Jack, but because Jack is familiar with hypnosis, it does not work on him. Enraged by this, the Zombie Master turns up the power on the ray generator, which causes the whole thing to explode, killing the Zombie Master and giving Castle superpowers. He decided to use his newfound powers as a superhero, becoming Fiery Mask.
