Elephant Boy

Elephant Boy (real name Hugh Robertson) is the fan and sidekick of Super Elephant.
==Biography==
Hugh Robertson is a seven year old boy who lives with his mother and stepfather, following the death of his father John three years previously. Following his dad's death he lapsed into a deep fantasy world which involved a superhero named "Super Elephant", inspired by his stuffed elephant as well as his love for the superhero genre, with movies such as Marvel's The Avengers.
Hugh soon discovers a spaceship which contains an elephant like creature, which he believes is super elephant come to life. The creature hides away, and Hugh decides to keep him a secret.
When Super Elephant takes on the role as a superhero in Hugh's home city, Hugh begins to idolize him. But his stepfather isn't pleased with it, and denies Super Elephant's existence and tries to claim Hugh needs to "grow up". Unknown to Hugh his stepfather is actually a kingpin, who decides to take up the mantle of a supervillain known as the Human Clock, who sees Super Elephant as a threat to his plans.
Hugh begins to follow around Super Elephant and creatures his own costume (consiting of a grey tracksuit, grey trousers and a cutout elephant mask) and dubs himself Elephant Boy. Super Elephant isn't too eager for Hugh to join him, but eventually lets him tag along and uses him to keep an eye out on the goings on around town.
After Hugh and Super Elephant take down crime rackets run by the mysterious Kingpin (not knowing he is Hugh's stepfather), Kingpin has a breakdown and fully takes on the Human Clock persona. The Human Clock sets up different bombs around the city, and tells Super Elephant to find the devices on time before it runs out. Sensing danger, Super Elephant returns Hugh back to his home, feeling that he shouldn't be put in further danger as things are getting serious. Super Elephant then leaves, and Hugh ends up feeling upset.
As Super Elephant takes out the devices, Hugh is kidnapped by his stepfather who he is shocked to find is the Human Clock and the kingpin. The Human Clock found out that Hugh was the true identity of Super Elephant by coming across one of his costumes, and feeling they are responsible for his downfall plans to kill Hugh and Super Elephant. Once Super Elephant finishes tracing the bombs the Human Clock broadcasts a message that he has Hugh and orders Super Elephant to arrive back at the house to settle things. Super Elephant arrives, only to find Hugh's mother tied up and a bomb set up. Super Elephant manages to save her and get away before the bomb is set off. The Human Clock witnesses this, and tells Hugh (who is in the car) that they are now dead. He drives to the airport, where he plans to take Hugh away in his private jet and to set up his empire elsewhere. But Super Elephant arrives and rescues Hugh. The Human Clock attempts to escape in his jet, but ends up being stopped by Super Elephant and taken into custody.
Following the incident, Hugh's mother decides to take him so they can live near her mother-in-law (Hugh's dad's mother). Hugh is upset as he won't be able to see Super Elephant, but Super Elephant says they will meet again one day, but he has to stay behind the protect the city.
