Mister Mystery

A young Kent Cummins came up with Mr. Mystery to solve a problem of needing to perform in more than one place at a time. It could have been a simple, surface-level bit of costuming, but Kent dove into the depths of who this person was and why he hid his identity behind a mask. The thought behind Mr. Mystery reads like the origin story of a superhero… or a villain.

Here is the excerpt of Mr. Mystery’s origin story, beautifully written by Kent, then produced by Chris Walden.

And here is the full scoop on Mr. Mystery in the episode of Tales From the Fantastic Magic Center episode for which the segment was created.
