Mike Ortiz wasn’t rocketed from a doomed planet as an infant. Nor was he ever bitten by a radioactive anything. He has however been a geek for over 40 years, he has worked in various movie theatres, and comic books stores, He is an artist and graphic designer that has worked in home video, on geeky projects like the Evil Dead, Hellboy Animated, The Walking Dead, Dawn of the Dead, Near Dark, Return to the Batcave, Free Enterprise and more.
He also makes too many obscure movie, tv and comic book references but his Midichloreans are off the chart. so he’s got that going for him. Which is nice.
Damon Shaw doesn’t like writing in the third person, so he lets Mike do it. He is a geek of all trades, encompassing Star Wars, Star Trek, Comics, Harry Potter, Video Games, Ninja Turtles, Comedy and more. He has worked in comics retail, at Gameworks and was a part of Star Trek The Experience in Las Vegas, where he was the very last Borg ever created. Resistance was futile.
He is also a golden god, though his deific status may be unverified, it is not necessarily unproven.
