Fictional Character Biography
Soon after Robbie Baldwin (the superhero Speedball) moves into his building, Carlton LaFroyge discovers his secret identity. He uses this information to blackmail him. Baldwin refuses to cooperate. Soon, the New Warriors are captured by a street gang called the Poison Memories; the same gang that had viciously attacked the team's relatives, even leading to the death of Rage's beloved grandmother.
LaFroyge creates a caped costume that included automobile side mirrors attached to a football helmet. He summons the help of Night Thrasher to help free the team. Through this, he weaseled his way onto the team as a non-official member, calling himself Hindsight Lad.
Hindsight Lad became caught up in a cosmic adventure involving the New Warriors and many of their allies. In a confrontation with the Sphinx, most of the team were lost in time and space. Hindsight Lad figures out much of what is going on and assists the remaining New Warriors allies in fixing the situation.
Night Thrasher soon offers him full membership. He changes costumes to a red/yellow suit and dropped the "Lad" part of his name. Through him, another person gains membership, Timeslip. He remains with the team until sometime after issue #75.

Famous quotes containing the words fictional, character and/or biography:
“One of the proud joys of the man of letters—if that man of letters is an artist—is to feel within himself the power to immortalize at will anything he chooses to immortalize. Insignificant though he may be, he is conscious of possessing a creative divinity. God creates lives; the man of imagination creates fictional lives which may make a profound and as it were more living impression on the world’s memory.”
—Edmond De Goncourt (1822–1896)
“They aroused me to a determination to understand more fully the position of women, and the character of those men who talk so much of the need of our being “protected”Mremoving from us, meanwhile, what are often the very weapons of our defence [sic], occupations, and proper and encouraging remuneration.”
—Harriot K. Hunt (1805–1875)
“There never was a good biography of a good novelist. There couldn’t be. He is too many people, if he’s any good.”
—F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
