Glory Man

Glory Man is one of the main characters in the World of Guilds.
==Background==
The boy who would eventually grow up to become Glory Man was raised in a wealthy household, and he was spoiled every day by his parents. They bought him whatever he wanted whenever he wanted, to the point that they purchased him his own nation (which they eventually sold back for a profit). When the boy grew up, his parents payed for him to go to college, which he instantly began to fail at. To remedy the situation (and to get him out of the house for good), his parents used their near-limitless wealth to purchase him a Master's Degree in Superheroics, which he had intended to get. Thus, Glory Man was born!
From there, Glory Man was gifted with his new government-funded superpowers and took to the skies to protect the world from villainy. He made a name for himself forcefully, through television advertisements, action figures, and an assortment of other marketing strategies to become the most well-known superhero of his time. His allies, however, were less-than-thrilled and frowned upon his obsession with fame. To mend his pride, Glory Man started the Heroes' Guild, a company of superheroes with a likeminded viewpoint on superheroics, that all civilians are treated as equal so long as they can pay.
In 1992, Glory Man was hot on the trail of his archenemy, a Russian gangster called the Tremendous Turnip. He searched everywhere for the crimelord before managing to beat his location out of his former lieutenant, Stupid Sprout. Glory Man confronted the Tremendous Turnip on his front lawn and killed him in cold blood. Glory Man was arrested shortly afterwards and was told that Tremendous Turnip was on parole. In an interview, Glory Man stated that he had done it for no other reason that because he "could." After the '92 incident, Glory Man merchandise sales plummeted, and a summer resort for supervillains was opened.
Glory Man spent ten years in prison for murder before being released. He was greeted with mixed reception by his colleagues, and thus he set out to find a loyal sidekick that would forever praise him. He made his way to a sidekick academy and, to his disappointment, was paired with the cynical and brutally honest Honor Boy. From there on, Glory Man and Honor Boy have fought together in a fragile alliance as Glory Man constantly uses his sidekick as a meat shield.
