Origin

Mr. Excitement!
Mr. Excitement!

The life of Madman prior to the car accident that "killed" him was unknown. His body was found by a police officer friend of scientist Dr. Egon Boiffard (he owed him a favor). Dr. Boiffard managed to resurrect him with the side effects of super human agility and precognitive abilities. He could not remember anything of his life save for his childhood hero, Mr. Excitement. Dr. Boiffard named Madman after his artistic and intellectual heroes, Frank Sinatra and Albert Einstein. Thus, Frank Einstein was born.

Modeling himself after his hero, Frank likes to try to get in the way when bad things happen to good people. He and his scientist friends get into many adventures but Frank prefers to spend time with his girlfriend Joe (short for Josepine).

He was given the name "Madman" when chasing the evil Mr. Mr. Monstadt through a circus. He shot himself out of a cannon and an onlooker in the crowd shouted, "He's a Madman!"

He later befriended the alien Mott, from the planet Hoople. Mott was on the run from crazy alien, Zenelle, who wanted to marry and eat him.

Frank is 6', has pale blue eyes (and skin), weighs 190 lbs, and has brown hair. He likes paper airplanes and dislikes surly beatnik mutants.

In the Beginning...

Beginning his life as Madman, Frank had many questions. Being resurrected from the dead left huge gaps in his memory. He didn't know who he really was. He wrote in his journal about the regret of some of his actions that didn't seem like stuff he should do and how Dr. Boiffard was his only hope in finding the answers. He was attacked by two of Mr. Monstadt's men. Monstadt wanted his head on a platter. Frank, using his yo-yo and skills, quickly put them in their place. Frank even went so far as to grab the one called Jake, plucked out his eye, and ate it in front of the other, Arnie. Freaked out, Arnie pressed himself against the wall. Frank "touched" him and got a psychic reading off of him to get information about Monstadt. He told Arnie to grab Jake, take him to hospital, and leave town. As soon as they were gone, Frank threw up. Frank needed to find Dr. Flem since Dr. Boiffard got hit by a car. Boiffard told Frank to freeze his body before he died. If he did die, there wouldn't be anyone that could stop Monstadt. Flem was the only one that could bring Boiffard back.

At the hands of Mr. Monstandt, Frank was believed to be dead. Frank found himself questioning his entire existence as part of Monstadt's plan. Dr. Flem sends Astroman to try to save him since he's a digital imprint of Frank. Astroman appeared as Mr. Excitement. Astroman's robot body seemed to overload as a result of interacting in Frank's mind. Frank and Astroman made their way through Frank's subconscious to try to find their way back to Frank's body. Unfortunately, it was too late. Dr. Flem, Joe, and the others believed Frank to be long dead. Both Frank and Astroman's bodies were sent to a burial in space in one of Dr. Flem's experimental rockets. The two awake in deep space.

Madman meets Haley Foofoo and is put on a mission to save the universe. He is joined by members of the The Atomics. They succeed despite some casualties and return to Haley. As thanks, she says she sent engineers from her planet to Earth to build a base with some of their technology to help them in fighting the good fight.

Frank's rocket has also been fixed and modified so that it is easier to navigate. Frank is given a new spacesuit and It Girl is given a re-animated Metal Man. Haley is confused at her distress. She figured they'd want to use him as a Zom-bot. Next is the arrival of Joe. Haley figured Frank would want to celebrate with her there and she is being brought in a sphere. As she approaches, Frank realizes that he's having deja vu. This is when she dies. It Girl stretches out her arms to save her. Haley stops her saying she'll be killed too. With an explosion, Joe is gone.

Frank departs on his own. Eventually Mott finds him and is seemingly with Joe! Joe then changes to It-Girl. The two have somehow been merged into...Luna Joe

Weapons

Madman is a skilled and agile fighter. He has used a few weapons early in his career. He took a Duncan yo-yo, hollowed it out, and filled it with lead. Madman is able to use it against bad guys by knocking them in the head with it from a distance. Madman is also has very good aim with a sling shot. Later, Madman modified a toy disc gun that fired with such intensity that the discs would actually become embedded in the skin.
