this idea comes from the weekly sketch group, where i thought of redoing EWJ's origin. so here goes.
EARTHWORM JIM
PAGE 1
We open on an idyllic forest. lush forests, all that crap. Then we pan down, underground...into a wormhole. a worm is wriggling as fast as he can, away from something. hes huffing, puffing.
WORM: HUFF, HUFF
WORM: JIM! MARY!
SFX: SKRTCH SKRTCH
PAGE 2
We see the worm hole open up, into a little worm house. Throw some little worm furniture or something. A photo hanging from the dirt wall of some old worm relative. We see MARY, the worms wife, and JIM, his son. They look up at FATHER, worried.
MARY: WHATS GOING ON?
JIM: PAPA?
PAGE 3
all of a sudden, the entire freaking ceiling is ripped off the worm house by something we cant see (yet)!!!! its like a total ****ing force of nature here!!!!! Light streams in.
MARY: OH MY GOD OH MY GOD!!!!!
SFX: SHRAKKK!!
JIM looks up. we see whatever hes looking at through his eyes. as it looks to jim, all he sees is piercing eyes surrounded by blackness.
PAGE 4
Splash page of PSY-CROW, cawing maniacally as he hunkers down over these worms, ready to eat them! Scale is important here. this bird is ****ing enormous, and these worms are...well, they're ****ing worms.
PSY-CROW: CAWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PAGE 5
a BLUR, and MARY IS GONE, plucked by PSY-CROWS beak. JIM can only stare, while FATHER IS PISSED.
JIM: MAMA?
FATHER: YOU BASTARD...YOU BAST..
another BLUR, FATHER is now plucked and eaten.
JIM: PAPA?
PAGE 6
PSY-CROW grabs JIM with his TALONS, and lifts off.
SFX: FWA
PSY-CROW: YOU....ILL SAVE YOU FOR LATER.
PSY-CROW: HAHAHAHA
PAGE 7
PSY-CROW is holding JIM loosely. too losely, as JIM wriggles free of the grip. but, he is already very far up. he starts to fall.
JIM: (thought) DEATH IS BETTER THAN DEATH
JIM: WAIT...WHAT?
JIM: I REALLY DONT WANT TO DIE...
JIM crashlands on something. we dont see what it is.
PSY-CROW notices that hes dropped something. Looks down, doesnt see JIM and shrugs. fool is dead anyway, he thinks. laughs again as he flies off.
PAGE 8
at the CRASH-SITE. we are looking from behind a rock. then all of a sudden, a GLOVED HAND GRABS THE ROCK! we see a shady figure slowly start to rise. we see his eyes first, burning with eternal hatred.
JIM: (thought) PSY-CROW....KILLED MY PARENTS.
JIM: THAT SON OF A BITCH
PAGE 9
splash page of EARTHWORM JIM, in costume, rising from the ground. He is super-pissed!!!
JIM: (thought) THAT SON OF A BITCH
JIM: IM GOING TO ****ING KILL HIM.
TO BE CONTINUED!!!!!!!!!

I liked the idea. The cute worm-house indicating a cozy pre-crow lifestyle was great.
Jim's thoughts as he's flailing through the sky could be tightened up a bit. It doesn't seem to fit in with the rest of the story.
Which makes me realize that when I first read this, I thought Jim was only a real young child. The only things he said at first were "Mama" and "Papa". Then he's weighing the options of death... threw me off a little bit.
I also would have liked some realization of his power when he first entered the suit... maybe he admires his new body? Or he pulls the gloves tight over his new hands with an "oooh yeah!"?
Anyway, just my two cents...
before his time, he was 2 or 3 when the game first came out
Not bad, but am I ever going to see your Supermanick drawn up?
It's very... heavy. I'm not convinced that Earthworm Jim needs a tragic backstory. He's not Batman, you know.

Makes us feel old A?before his time, he was 2 or 3 when the game first came out
he's one year younger than me and I saw the show (on tv) and rented all of the games for my sega mega drive yo.
explain that.
but this isnt anything that didnt happen in the game...I just embellished it. Psy-Crow DID kill Jims parents.
