Mitchell MartinezBorn and raised in Stockton, California, where most of his relatives reside as well, Mitchell has loved superheroes all of his life, and that passion and a love for writing led him to want to create his own comic book series. The idea for the hero ofWannabes, "Zapster" came to him in middle school, but it wasn't until he attended California State University in Sacramento that he found a company called Scattered Comics, which represents freelance creators.
