The adventure began when my cat, Chichi, and I toured a nuclear power plant in Florida. A bolt of lightning blasted out of the clear blue sky, striking the roof over the pool where the rods were kept cool. The rods were damaged, and we were irradiated.

Months later, I discovered that we had developed super mental and physical powers. Chichi could transform into an intelligent, talking black panther named Sheba. I grew taller, healthier, and more muscular. At age sixty-two, and with Chichi at twelve, our adventures began. Not only were we superheroes, but we were also business partners and inventors. We developed futuristic technology for the benefit of humankind.
