Background: Tom Revere grew up in Lexington, Massachusetts, very aware of the region's history. A few months prior to America's entry into the second World War, Tom was making money after school as a lab assistant to a scientist. This scientist was experimenting with strengthening matter by condensing its electron shells. During an experiment, he managed to reduce Tom to a less than a foot high. After the process was reversed, it was discovered that Tom could now repeat the process at will.

Tom, who had been planning on volunteering for the Marines when he turned 18, decided he needed to use this new power to bust spies, sabatoeurs, and fifth columnists. While trying to decide on a codename, he was flipping through a thesaurus for words that referred to smallness. There, he saw "minute", which he initially read as /min-nut/ rather than /my-newt/. Thinking about his error, and the Minute Men of the Revolutionary War, he decided to adopt a patriotic costume, including a tri-corner hat, envoking the image. He became Minute-Man.

Minute-Man is created and designed by Ken Hallaron. He is an NPC.
