## Biography

Stratogale was a friend of both Helen and Bob Parr, having attended their wedding alongside Meta Man, Thunderhead, Dynaguy and Gazerbeam. **Some time after this, on April 23 1957, having just pulled a commercial airliner from a steep dive, Stratogale’s cape got caught in a jet turbine, pulling her in and killing her. Edna Mode later recounted her accidental death when arguing with Bob over the design of his new supersuit. Despite knowing of Stratogale, Parr simply dismissed Edna's story as "generalization."** Stratogale’s NSA audio file was deemed incomprehensible. This was due either to faulty equipment or a high level of ambient wind noise.
