Chip attends comic conventions frequently, and noticed the sale of prints of copyrighted characters. "I respect the law — maybe even more than science," he says. "I wanted to produce something that resembled the feeling of a copyrighted character, but was legally sound."

But, wait, there's more: "His backstory is all mine!" says Chip. "As a poor youth named David Garth, BAT-HERO spent most of his childhood murdering the rich and amassing their wealth. Once he became a multi-millionaire he shut out everyone in his life, including his uncle, who ended up getting killed while attempting a robbery after David turns down his invitation to be his accomplice! The guilt of this drove David to become BAT-HERO, a masked vigilante who aids criminals wherever they may be!”
