About

The "hero of the modern age" and one of the most beloved superheroes in the world, Captain Hindsight took the world by storm, telling them what they should've or could've done to prevent their errors. Once a reporter for the National News, an experiment to boost his hindsight levels was interfered with by a retroactive spider, boosting his hindsight to superhuman levels. For a while, he and his trusty sidekicks Coulda, Shoulda and Woulda traveled the globe helping people, until Hindsight began to feel his power is more of a curse than a blessing, and ultimately rids himself of it after being caught having sex with Courtney Love. He has since resumed reporting, even as he begins to realize maybe he shouldn't have gotten back in that chair...
