Many years ago, I encountered a sobbing little boy.  “What’s wrong?”  I asked.

“My name” he replied.  “My parents named me Bertilious Whine.  I get beat up like there’s no tomorrow.”

Mother of balls,I thought, this is a super villain in the making.

Not if I had anything to say about it.

Back then, Echo was just a story in my head, but I recited the whole thing to him and we parted ways.  Decades later, we reconnected.  The boy-turned-man was handsome, well-built, and badass.

“Did you change your name?”  I asked.

Bruce Wayne responded, “Yes I did.”
