The Charger is a new superhero for the age of electric cars and cell phones and iPads and laptops, or any other rechargeable battery operated device required for modern living. Yes, when we forget to charge our essential gizmos, The Charger is there to help, arriving in a flash like a bolt of lightning, ready to save the day! And he charges your device’s battery fast as lightning, and then he’s off, zapping away to help the next person in need! Whether you need to recharge your cell phone, laptop, iPod, iPad, electric car, or even if you need a jump start for your regular car, The Charger will save the day!
How did he come to be, this savior of the forgetful? (People who forget to charge their devices’ batteries, that is.) Well, legend has it that he was working as an engineer whose job it was to install radio antennae and spires on super-tall skyscrapers, when upon one occasion he had to use his iPhone, and he went up to the top of the skyscraper he was working on to get a signal, whereupon he was struck by lightning, charging him up forever as The Charger! No rechargeable battery need fear death while The Charger’s around!
Oh, but The Charger is not all-powerful, for he has an arch-nemesis in the form of The Grounder! Yes, this super villain sucks all electricity from all that he touches, slurping every device of electricity, and short-circuiting everything requiring an electric charge! With one touch, he turns an electric guitar into an acoustic guitar! (<Surely his most dastardly deed!) And The Grounder has the ability to suck The Charger dry of his electric charge with one touch (if he can hold on long enough)!
Oh, but The Charger can suck electricity out of anything to recharge himself, especially clouds, causing lightning that charges himself back to full strength, and blasting The Grounder away with a loud clap of thunder! Oh, but if The Grounder can catch The Charger inside a rubber room with no electrical outlets and thick padded walls and ceiling, he can run down The Charger’s charge and kill him like a dead battery! And to achieve his aim, The Grounder poses as a psychiatrist, constantly trying to find out The Charger’s secret identity so he can claim he’s a psychotic with delusions of grandeur, and thus confine him to his special “rubber room” (!). (Or else he can just pretend his laptop battery died inside the rubber room and wait for The Charger to show up to help.)
Who will win this electrifying battle of titans? We can only hope The Charger will prevail to charge our devices for years to come!
