Crimson Turbo

Crimson Turbo (Kevin Cranston), is a fictional GSB Comics superhero. He was created by Travis Mickey in Crimson Turbo #1 (August 2007), quickly becoming one of the most famous, adored superhero in WWEGSB Heroes history.

Origin

Created by Travis Mickey, Kevin Cranston was the star athlete in high school. He played football (quarterback), baseball (center field), and basketball (small forward), all while managing to have a moderately successful career racing at the local paved racetrack on weekends. He skipped out on college and got a job for General Motors as an endurance test driver.

While testing an alternative for gasoline, the ABS didn't work, sending the car into a brick wall. The fuel tank shattered, coating Cranston with the mysterious liquid. Soon, he found himself being able to conduct both ice and fire. Immediately deciding to use his powers for fame, he used the settlement money to file several suits and hire an agent, using the name "Crimson Turbo."

Living in a high class neighborhood, Cranston leads his neighbors to believe he has a normal commuter job, while he's actually fighting crime in his alter-ego.

Debut

Crimson Turbo made a splash earlier today when he made his official debut. Yet another mysterious Golem robot appeared at Disneyland in Anaheim, California. Though usually fought in Los Angeles by their hero Paragon, Crimson Turbo instead showed up to battle the robot, this time taking the form of a Dragonzord. Defeating it, Crimson Turbo gave his first interview, quoted below.

Crimson Turbo: "You have a question for me, pretty lady?"

Female Reporter: "Yes, actually, I do. Why would a superhero choose Anaheim as their hometown? Anaheim has had a low crime rate over the past decade..."

Crimson Turbo: "You can thank me for that one later..."

Viral Marketing

The night that Crimson Turbo (Issue #001) was released, four key members of GSB comics decided that the character was constructed in a way that would be perfect to create viral marketing sites for. After an e-mail for "adoring fanmail" was set up, an official myspace page was also created for this fictional superhero. The page contained media-friendly answers to the basic questions, as well as a photo album dedicated to his faithful sponsors. The myspace was a moderate hit and created a larger buzz than any previous character in GSB Comics history. Due to this, viral marketing appears to be upcoming for other GSB Comics characters, starting with the mystical character Arcanus.
