A few short years ago, The evil Queen Slug-For-A-Butt commissioned her mad scientist, Professor Monkey-For-A-Head, to create some means for her to gain superpowers. The mad doctor complied and created a mechanical supersuit that would give it's wearer incredible strength, as well as access to some built in gadgets and gizmos. The power of the suit came from one awe-inspiring source: The Battery of the Gods, of which the Professor only had one. Before the Prof. could build a suit big enough for the queen's ample frame, Psy-Crow, the Queen's right-hand Crow, picked up the suit, battery and all, to be delivered.

While drifting in space, Psy-Crow was attacked by an enemy agent from the Phlegm Galaxy, hoping to steal the suit and give it to his leader. During he fight, Psy-Crow accidently let the suit fall to earth, where it landed on a lowly Earthworm. The radiation from the suit's neck collar mutated the worm's squishy flesh. He gained eyes and a mouth as well as a passable amount of intellegence. From that point on he dubbed himself "Jim" and dediated his life to fighting evil wherever it may be. He wouldn't have much of another choice now that he has a dozen supervillians breating down his neck, all claiming to be the true owners of the Supersuit.

Jim isn't too bright, and he doesn't have all his marbles. He's an easy going guy, but the responsibilities of being a superhero sometimes weigh on his fragile psyche. He usually tries to show off or act really self-confident when he's fighting crime, but never manages to get it quite right and is forced to resort to shooting at the bad guy while laughing maniacally.

Jim is also really childlike when it comes to the posession of novelty items like Snow Globes, Vending Machine sandwiches and picture postcards. The mall is his temple of worship. These odd quirks of Jim are obvious to all and both his friends and his worst enemies notice it and make snyde remarks.

All this, however has no interference with Jim's ability to fight crime. Let's face it, this huge worm is pretty powerful and could wipe out a whole army just by standing in one place and blasting. Jim's nemeses also really dislike the worm for being the lowest form of life that manages to thwart their schemes over and over again. Jim is most worthy of his superhero title no matter how much of a goof he is.
