Champions of Olympus
Awakening the Heroic Spirit in Humanity
Interview: Captain Ozone
Hercules: Thank you for granting us this interview Captain Ozone. I am looking
forward to learning more about you. Is your private identity kept
secret, or is it known to the public?
Captain
Ozone: I'm
William J. Ozone, but I'm known around the world as Captain Ozone. My
facial identity has been kept secret.
Hercules: What inspired you take action and actually be a Superhero?
Captain
Ozone: I was born in 2011(Note: Captain Ozone is a Time Traveller) and grew up on a small
ranch in a rural town in the United States. I've always been sort of
a cowboy and some of my friends even called me "Willy the Space
Cowboy". I volunteered for this mission to not only save us from
an ill-fated future, but to escape the overly electronicized,
digitized and synthesized society I lived in to enjoy simpler times
in your era.
Hercules: Are you part of the RLSH movement/community?
Captain
Ozone: I've never been part of the Real-Life
Superhero community. I don't go to Superhero meetings, or belong to
any Superhero clubs. I was here about 17 years before the Real-Life
Superhero community existed. Some Superheroes accredit me and a few
other old-timers, like Master Legend, as being the founding fathers
of the Real-Life superhero movement. I do, however, have several
Real-Life superhero friends on Facebook.
Hercules: Do you currently champion a particular cause or causes?
Captain
Ozone: I promote zero-emissions energy sources,
such as solar, wind and water power.
Hercules: Does your community recognize and appreciate the service you offer,
or is it opposed?
Captain Ozone: My entire country appreciates my service which is not limited to
certain regions, cities or communities. Solar, wind, geothermal and
hydro power are all integral throughout the United States.
Whatcom
County, where I live, has painted me as the "village idiot"
or "town nut" ever since they first got wind of me.
Hercules: Are you a lone Superhero or do you work with a partner (or
partners)?
Captain Ozone: I'm a lone wolf. I don't have a sidekick. I have partnered up
with a nonprofit organization by the name of "Environmental
Media Northwest".
Hercules: Do you belong to a Team? If so, can you tell us about it?
Captain
Ozone: I have starred as spokesman in several of
Environmental Media Northwest's television and movie theater
commercials about endangered wild salmon and clean energy.
Hercules: Have you formed, or are you working with, any community
organizations?
Captain Ozone: I have voluntarily taught middle school kids how to write, direct
and star in their own environmental television commercials that have
been aired in the United States and Canada.
Hercules: I am re-forming my old Superhero Team, the Champions of Olympus,
here in my local community. Last time we operated in secret, now we
are going public. Do you have any suggestions or advice?
Captain
Ozone: My advice is to remain clandestine. Once
your team becomes public, the local cops will impose their
stipulations on you.
Hercules: How does a newbie become involved with the Superhero
community?
Captain Ozone: Most newbies become involved by joining a social networking site
and then they search for Superheroes and add them as their friends.
You can find Superheroes in your own area this way and meet up with
them in person. The first Superheroes I met were Tothian, Sentinel
Lenitnes and Master Legend on MySpace in 2006.
Hercules: How can people learn more about you and help support your
efforts?
Captain
Ozone: They
can go to www.CaptainOzone.organd learn all about my mission, how to apply for loans, incentives
and grants for home solar panels and wind turbines. Not only will you
reduce your greenhouse gas emissions by converting to these clean
energy sources, but you can also sell the surplus electricity you
generate back to your power company.
Hercules: Thank you very much Captain Ozone! I greatly appreciate your time and attention!
