Question for JB: Did you base this Fantastic Four character on the Chicago-based theater actor of the same name? If so, story please. Thank you.

Not much of a story. I knew Norm in the early Eighties, and it amused him to have his name appear in a comic book.

He was a favorite cousin of mine; we lived on the same block when I was a kid and we bonded over theater. How did you know him?
