Fun facts:

• He wants to visit Gotham City, Smallville, or any other superhero city to see how fast they rebuild the destroyed buildings after villains attack. He has a feeling that the property damage and reconstruction bills for these places are ridiculous.
• The best piece of advice he has received is that people will do whatever it is they want to do.
• When he was a child, he wanted to be a pilot.
