Buddy Baker was a happy hell-raising punk rocker. One fall afternoon he went hunting in the Adirondack Mountains... and when he returned home, he had changed. Whatever it was, something in the woods had connected him to what is variously referred to as the Red, the Lifeweb, or the Morphogenetic Field - the force that binds together every living animal on Earth. Encountering some escaped animals from a nearby zoo, Buddy discovered that in the presence of an animal, he was able to absorb its special abilities. He was now the Man With Animal Powers. At the idea that came from his neighbor Roger Denning, he took up a blue and orange suit starting a career as Animal Man, partly for the hell of it and partly to promote his band, and partly to support him, his wife and kids. Now he has to go up against some real threats, like Brother Blood, Psycho Pirate and....The Mod Gorilla Boss?
