Captain Fabulous

Captain Fabulous was an openly gay superhero who independently fought crime in the American midwest. Though known for his flamboyant persona and vociferous advocate work on the advancement of LGBT rights, his foremost interest was justice in the abstract for all decent citizens.

Background
Born with unnatural physical prowess, Clarence Cartwright initially lived a relatively normal life as a "super". But his growing recognition of the asymetrical rights assigned to American citizens, all whom "are created equal... endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights..." in theory. An accomplished actor from college, he took up the persona of Captain Fabulous, which was as much another character as it was a vehicle for himself. The Captain was energetic, flashy and bombastic, seeking by his acts to demonstrate that "manliness" had nothing at all to do with sexual orientation. In private, however, Clarence was a subdued, intellectual sort, with a great love of live theatre. His favorite hobby was oil painting, at which he possessed reasonable skill. He had hoped for some of his pieces to make it into galleries.

Current status
On October 27th, 2013, Clarence Cartwright was murdered brutally.
