I actually get that alot.

The name comes from an '80s TV show "Captain Power and the Soldiers Of The Future" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captain_Power). When I was like 8 all the kids in my neighborhood would call me that. I altered it in the 90s when I wrote for 'zines and needed a pen name.

Now you know.

I suppose that's the answer to the question "If Robocop banged each of the Power Rangers, what would the result be?" :D

Whenever I see his name, I think of how big of an albatross he was on this guy's neck while in the Young Stallions:

Everyone thought I gave my friend Joe the "Max Power" nickname because he caused an automatic protective action from the reactor by exceeding the max power limit during drills.

Actually, I gave him that nickname because he was fat, bald, and dim-witted. The casualty was just fantastic timing.

You know, just the other day I was thinking to myself, "What was the name of that show/game that I would shoot at the television screen when I was a little kid?"

Holy crap! That's what Captain Powers was!? I had that game. I totally forgot about that until right now. Wow.

Now that I look at it, I think the person who designed the cover for the first "Mega Man" game had no clue what the game was actually about, so they just did a really horrible knock-off of Captain Power (then they had nap time):

That's my job, reminding you of your childhood.

I met the wrestler Jim Powers once, it's not his real name. He picked it out of a phonebook on tour when he just got started. He was like, "Dude, that's your real name? Wow."

Accept no imitations.
