History: (Showcase '93 #7) - A special effects artist as upset when he lost business to the superhero Jade, who used her superpowers for the special effects in a Chris Ardent perfume commercial. He thought of himself as an artist and her as a styleless hack. He created the identity of Mister McEscher and confronted Jade and her brother Obsidian, using a special effects projector to keep them disorientated. Jeremy, the commercial's director, found McEscher's control booth and shut it down. A Chris Ardent representative was impressed with his work, and told him she'd use him for a soft drink spot.
