Charles Yoakum was a mere zygote when Jack Kirby and Stan Lee were putting together the mythos that would become the Fantastic Four.

He was 7 when Jim Starlin took over Captain Marvel and fought a battle against Thanos so big that was decided by philosophy.

He was 9 when Shang Chi and Cat squared off in the Fight Without Pity.

He was 20 when the Swamp Thing found out that he wasn't a man turned into a plant, but a plant that thought he was a man.

These are the milestones that he measures his life against: the moments of story that overwhelmed him. He hopes to do the same here.
