It was here, upon the chaos of a world gone savage, he would make his debut.
He tailored himself a suit and mask, making sure no expense was spared. He practiced martial arts, both unarmed and with a melee weapon.

He rushed out the door and into the world, ready to face the music.
Primed with his music player, Music Man didn't have to travel far to find the first ounce of crime he needed to stop.
