HISTORY
Not much is known about the Heckler. If it hadn't been for the fact that his secret identity was revealed halfway through his first issue, he could have been just about anybody: Your best friend, or the guy next door, or that fleeting shadow in the alley, or that guy who hangs around your copy shop wearing bermuda shorts with dress shoes and black socks. He could even have been you... but alas he is not. In fact he is just a plain old ordinary (well maybe not that ordinary) coffee shop owner named Stu Mosely.
Exactly who he chose to become the Heckler or even if it was of his own choice is not known. Maybe it was just the ages old case of a bored bored coffee shop owner looking for a little fun. However, part of the reason why Stu Mosely became the Heckler might be found in the fact that he was born in the thirteenth sign of the Zodiac... Hecklelarius the Heckler. To be born under this unusual sign your day of birth have to fall between Pisces and Aries on a leap year... or at least that's what the believers of this sign claim.
The Heckler's secret identity is a closely guarded secret, that is known by but a few including Legde, Mr. Dude and everybody who has read about his adventures in the Heckler and those that have since been told about it. Considering the sales of the book and the fast cancellation that can't have been be more than about a dozen.
POWERS AND WEAPONS
Stu Mosely has an amazing ability to arrive at a destined location at the right time. In other words, he is a very punctual guy and hates to be late! As the Heckler he has an amazing ability to piss a lot of people off (mainly bad guys though) by constantly mocking and making fun of his opponents. On the other hand a lot of people (mainly his fans) find him extremely funny. Heckler is also a master of disguices and once put on a purple dress over his regular outfit and cunningly decieved the intergalactic Cosmic Clown into believing that he was not the Heckler.
