Judex Maximus

Judex Maximus, or by his actual name, The Honorable Mortimer Jinkle, is a super powered judge who presides over the High Court of the State of Eastshield. By day, he performs his job on the bench, hearing cases on the worst lawbreakers in the state of Eastshield (but not on federal laws and issues, that's for the federal courts). By night, he's a SUPER HERO!!!

Background
According to the comic book published about him, Mortimer Jinkles was hearing a tort lawsuit on a state government employee, or specifically, the court's janitor. He was suing Doctor Dimmerwits, who he claimed purposefully smacked him with a meteorite using atractor beam. He even had evidence; the janitor showed the scar and the meteorite. However, Doctor Dimmerwits claimed that he hasn't unsed a tractor beam since Aye-Que ran away and took his outhouse with him.

The Janitor insisted that The Honorable Mortimer prosecute Dimmerwits and make him pay his medical fees, workers' compensation, and to give him the tractor beam he used. Dimmerwits continously denied this until Mortimer got hungry and issued a recess so he could go eat his fish.

Outside, he was struck by a radioactive meteorite similar to the janitor's space rock, which knocked him out. An ambulance later arrived, and they had no time to change him out of his robes. He was taken to the hospital as-is, robes and all.

Mortimer woke up in a hospital, with the Janitor and Dimmerwits bickering outside his room. While in his bed, he first realized they had failed to remove his regalia, and secondly, he recalled the Janitor holding some sort of remote. He called the two in and ruled in favor of Dimmerwits, mentioning the Janitor's remote.

The Janitor was enraged, for he thought his plan had been discovered. He continually denied this claim, and Mortimer glared at him. Suddenly, as if out of nowhere, the alledged remote appeared right next to where his gavel had been laid in the corner of the hospital room! It had somehow teleported! That evidence was all he needed. When Mortimer got up to make his verdict, his gavel floated to him! He shook it a bit, and each time he forcefully rapped it (like he would at the bench), it made its distincive whacking sound, out of mid-air! The harder he thwacked his gavel, the louder and more forceful the banging sound. As he was carted out of the ward, he continued to try out this weird predicament.

At home, he continued with this, banging his gavel causally like in court, and hearing the sound out of thin air, and then shaking it and feeling the building shake. He threw the gavel and it came back to him. When he tried twirling it around, a loud wind picked up outside, and when he stopped twirling it, the wind stopped. He dropped the gavel to the floor, and a laser shot out of it in the direction the handle faced upon the floor impact. A hole was shot through the wall as thick as a coin.

...more tommorow...

In actuality, he hit himself with the meteorite in order to steal Dimmerwit's fortune. The Janitor was a court stealer, he had sued dozens of other clients
