Captain Coincidence
Chapter 1

Captain Coincidence was born yesterday. Of course, up until yesterday and for the thirty-four years prior to that, the man known as Captain Coincidence went by the name Dennis Potomkis.

Concerning Dennis Potomkis, there are three essential truths. One: Dennis Potomkis IS Captain Coincidence. Two: Dennis Potomkis lives in his parent’s basement. Three: Dennis Potomkis possesses a single magnificent weakness, which miraculously is also his most powerful strength.

We will elaborate upon these truths soon enough.

For now we find Dennis sitting on the roof of his parent’s home, his back to the chimney, writing in his diary.

Dear Crunchy Nachos,

He calls his diary Crunchy Nachos.

You’re not going to believe what happened to me last night. You know how I’ve been wondering when Big G was ever going to recognize my kickass guitar skills and send me the members of what will one day be the most groundbreaking prog-metal death-blues band in the world, allowing me to finally fulfill my fate of being the internationally-renowned recording genius and rock star I was born to be? Well, as it turns out, I think I may have been totally wrong about all that. I believe without a doubt that my true fate is and has always been to be a superhero. And not like Strawberry Shortcake and Scooby-Doo in the comics either. I mean a REAL superhero!

Now Crunchy Nachos, I know that you always tell me I’m a filthy liar and I’ll never amount to anything, and this is a lot to digest all at once, but believe me, it’s true. I’ve been waiting my whole life for Big G to make me the person I was always meant to be, and now it’s happened.
