History

  Siegfried Horatio Hunch III met his best friend Denton Fixx in the psychiatric Ward at Bellvue Hospital, though it has not been established why they were there. Hunch, in a reversal of the classical situation, followed the dog-faced Denton home and Denton kept him. Seigfried took the third bedroom in an apartment shared by Denton and his divorced sister Katherine Patricia [K.P.] Watson. Not long after, Hunch was looking for soda cans in a garbage can, when he found a gold helmet with the letter 'M' on it. After finding this, he became a friendly 'Superhero' named 'Mazing Man. Although he has no special powers, he has a kind heart and a full wallet. He once won the Publishers reading house sweepstakes including a grand prize of $1,000,000.00 and then felt obligated to subscribe to every magazine they offered. Although shunned at first, he has been accepted, and has done many things to help the community. Among these are saving a child from the path of a speeding truck, helping the town-drunk buddy, and cleaning the leaves from a sewer drain. 'Maze' loves Simon and Garfunkel, and sings their greatest hits after getting pummelled. Hunch has made good friends with his downstairs neighbour, Guido Antonio Garibaldi, and Denton's high school friends Eddie and Brenda Valentine. Later in his Life he joined Plastic Man's Justice League of Anarchy. He sometimes used a utility belt containing safety pins, a bottle opener, trash bags, Band-Aids, a roll of electrical tape, tissues, a squirt gun, and a large hook (which constantly caught on to things).
