Multi-Tasking Man is a net.hero created by Jeff Coleburn.
Alter Ego: Unknown
Aliases: None
Primary Writer: None
Status: Member of the LNH (Classic Team), LNHHQ systems administrator
Usability: Free For Use[1]

History

One of the earliest LNHers, Multi-Tasking Man was the original person who hung out in the monitor room. He acts as the coordinator of the Legion, as well as one of the gadgeteers.

He created W.I.L.B.U.R. to assist him and to hold the fort when he has to go out on the field, and has made many improvements and upgrades to the LNHQ's systems.

During the untold chapters of WikiLull, he was put in a state of quantum transcendence, and thru undisclosed means, merged with CassAIndra. He has sworn to repair her.

When he and Doctor Stomper were trapped in the Deep Omnilooniverse, Multi-Tasking Man was possessed by UltraKiwi Wondersock! The evil kiwi traveled back to Looniverse-A in his body, but Multi-Tasking Man used all his multi-tasking might to exorcise him!

Personality

Tends to be very businesslike and brisk, not wanting to waste time. Fairly quiet, but can get really exuberant under the surface. Has a hard time concentrating on one thing at a time; can process tasks better when he's doing twenty of them. Finds a near-giddy joy in creating new things.

Would like to be out on the streets fighting crime, but knows that his abilities are put to their best use in the LNHQ monitor room, making sure that this immense and chaotic group has someone who always knows what's going on.

Powers and Abilities

The ability to do many unrelated activities at once with some degree of super-speed.

Can create super-net.science gadgets. Wears a pair of gauntlets with many functions programmed in. Has a set of self-made and constantly-upgraded battle armor he uses when he actually goes out on the field.

Appearance

From Dave Van Domelen's art site: Guest-starring the Planetary Chance Machine, a hacky-sack, "I'm Nuts About Ninjas" display on top of the computer. Text below signature reads Chrome courtesy of Kid Kirby." 3/3/93

Green costume with white trim. Goggles, but no cape.

Relationships

Creator of W.I.L.B.U.R., and grand-creator of Unity and the Green Knight. Mentor to wReamhack and Renegade Programmer.

Taskani is his alternate-future granddaughter; he goes to visit her on the holidays.

His alternate-universe counterparts include the Multitasker from Looniverse-Dantalion[2] and Multi-Asking Man of the Oddball Legion.
