Where did Captain Sideways come from?
The Ahaverse, short for Aha Universe, is a distant part of the universe. There, Dark Matter is prevalent. Organic life in the Ahaverse evolved to relate to regular matter differently because of being exposed to so much Dark Matter.
Is Captain Sideways human?
No. Captain Sideways resembles a 10-year-old human, but is not human. Humans would guess that Captain Sideways is male, but don't believe them.
Can Captain Sideways fly?
Because of exposure to Dark Matter in the Ahaverse, Captain Sideways (CS) floats above regular matter and is not strongly attracted to it. So, CS appears to fly above the Earth, but is really floating at a certain speed in a certain direction.
CS has to concentrate to stay on the ground. While daydreaming, CS floats away and people say that CS is "spacey."
What is the symbol on the suit?
You see a dark box with a lighted ring around it? This means that the light (the solution) is "outside the box." To be a creative problem solver you have to think outside the box. Captain Sideways' brain is always thinking outside the box, so Captain Sideways is good at problem solving.
What does the helmet do?
What does the helmet do?
The helmet pumps extra micro-bits of electricity into Captain Sideways' brain to keep it hyper-active. It overstimulates the brain so it is constantly making new connections.
What does the visor do?
The visor projects information that only Captain Sideways can see. A computer called C-More (See More) is constantly looking up information relevant to the problem and projecting it onto the visor so Captain Sideways can see it. C-More helps Captain Sideways to see more!
Together, Captain Sideways and C-More combine the best of organic creativity and machine creativity!!
