Joseph Danner is a physicist who dreams of unraveling the secrets of creation. To achieve this, he created a machine designed to fold him across the tenth dimension and beyond. So he activates it, and does just that.
When he returns, he discovers that his journey has given him the ability to control electricity and magnetism, and made him invulnerable to anything short of the impact from a planetary collision. Sadly, flight isn't one of the powers he gained. However, that's no biggie when you're friends with a flying polar bear.
So, taking on the moniker of Mister Solenoid, Joseph and his polar bear friend Ulysses begin their mission to make a perfect world.
