What they found was beyond any of their expectations, however. Nestled within the centre of the crashed meteorite was an unidentifiable substance. White, gooey and seemingly alive, the baffling substance reacted to the astronauts' probing touches by hardening itself, moving away and, eventually, touching back. Certain they had stumbled across something revolutionary, the team of astronauts promptly secured the substance and brought it back to their space station, where they subsequently transported it to Earth for further study.

When a team of astronauts investigated a meteorite which had crash-landed on Earth's moon from a spontaneous wormhole, the discovery of a nigh-indestructible, semi-sentient substance named Oxymorax buried deep within the meteorite's core was thought to be the scientific breakthrough of the decade. With the unusual power to completely alter its physical structure on a molecular level, create and reabsorb its own matter and transfer its properties to anything it came into contact with, it was thought that the mysterious Oxymorax would bring about a new age of technological engineering. When an imcompetent janitor accidentally dropped a cheese ball in it, however, the unexpected and violent reaction that ensued transformed the semi-sentient mucus into a fully-sentient humanoid creature. Escaping from captivity, the creature was taken in off the streets by a lonely cartoonist and subsequently spent the first three years of its life watching cartoons, reading comic books, eating junk food and browsing the internet. When it finally reemerged to chase down his adoptive 'father's' mugger, the damage of its unorthodox upbringing had been done and it took to the streets as Screwball -- the screw-loose superhero with a 'unique' approach to fighting crime and a tenuous grip on everything else.

Though his various eccentricities and almost satirical approach to superheroics can make him somewhat difficult to understand much less work with, Screwball is bursting at the seams with innocence, glee, enthusiasm and just about anything else his unique physiology can muster. While his lack of human perspective and identity issues sometimes make him an outcast in a world incapable of accepting him, he devotes himself, body, mind and humour, to the fight against injustice just as much as any Earth-born hero. He just prefers to have a little more fun in the process.



Biography

"I was born the survivor of an extinct alien race, brough up by my caring mama and papa on the streets of Brooklyn. Then, one fateful day, my parents were killed before my very eyes by a giant radioactive spider. That was when I knew I had to avenge their deaths by becoming a symbol of hope -- a bringer of justice. Donning my fuzzy-wuzzy jimmy jams, I became the vengeance that stalks the night, the unstoppable force of good -- I became the SCREWBALL! And you wouldn't like me when I'm hungry!" - Screwball

When scientists detected a wormhole opening up near Earth's moon, the last thing they expected to see coming out of it was a meteor of an unknown origin. When the otherworldly meteor crash-landed on the surface of the moon, a team of astronauts were quickly dispatched from a nearby space station to investigate the unusual phenomenon.

"Phenomenon, doo doo doo doo doo~ Phenomenon, doo doo doo doo~" - Screwball

What they found was beyond any of their expectations, however. Nestled within the centre of the crashed meteorite was an unidentifiable substance. White, gooey and seemingly alive, the baffling substance reacted to the astronauts' probing touches by hardening itself, moving away and, eventually, touching back. Certain they had stumbled across something revolutionary, the team of astronauts promptly secured the substance and brought it back to their space station, where they subsequently transported it to Earth for further study.

"Aww, my baby years! I was like a deliciously adorable chunk of nougat at the centre of a crunchy chocolate shell. And who doesn't love nougat?" - Screwball

It was only upon returning the substance to Earth to be analysed by its best scientists that its true nature was discerned. Exhibiting a level of reactivity and awareness which indicated a basic level of intelligence, the substance showed the uncanny ability to completely and radically alter its physical structure on a molecular level almost instantaneously, create and reabsorb its own matter and transfer its uniquely adaptive scientific properties to anything it came into physical contact with. This made it uniquely suited for use in engineering, construction and a number of other key industries. Knowing that their discovery would one day change the world, the scientists named it 'Oxymorax' for its complete contradition of a number of presupposed physical laws.

"I'm not an oxymorax, you are." - Screwball

As the team of scientists hurried to find a way to replicate Oxymorax for mass-production, however, the unexpected happened once again. The lab's rather incompetent janitor, unaware of the fact that he had been given orders not to clean the lab, arrived in the dead of night to do his job while feasting hungrily on a bag of Cheese Balls -- a popular brand of cheese-flavoured corn chips. Spotting the Oxymorax in its display case, the janitor became intrigued by its movements. As me leaned over its containment cell to get a closer look, a single Cheese Ball fell out of its bag and landed in the substance. The Oxymorax's unique physical structure reacted explosively with the Cheese Ball's ingredients in a way no one could have foreseen, rapidly expanding and bursting from its cage as the terrified janitor fled the scene.

"Talk about dangerously cheesy, am I right?" - Screwball

Swelling to ten times its usual size, the Oxymorax violently exploded, completely coating the lab in the process. The sudden reaction didn't stop there, however. Slowly reforming itself from its splattered remains, the Oxymorax took on a vaguely humanoid form in the centre of the ruined lab. With the opening of its yellow eyes, what was once a semi-sentient mass of goo became a fully sentient humanoid creature.

"Ever have one of those days where you wake up with no idea who you are, what you are, where you are and how you are? Because it's not great." - Screwball

With a freshly developed mind and no concept of what it was or where it was, the creature instantly focused upon the most eye-catching thing in the room: the janitor's abandoned bag of Cheese Balls. Moving with pure biological instinct, the creature hungrily devoured the bag of Cheese Balls and, thanks to its influence on its new physical structure, became eager to seek out more. Escaping from the lab that had once been its home of sorts, the creature fled under the cover of darkness, seeking food, shelter and some understanding of what it was meant to be.

"But mostly I was looking for Cheese Balls. Can't get enough of those dusty little devils." - Screwball
