So when the mood strikes my son (and that is quite often) and he wants to make up “superguysâ€, “superdudesâ€, “supermansâ€â€¦ I pull out a bunch of templates I made for him and he picks out everything from the style of boots to the color scheme of the various costume options presented before him.  I then draw quick sketch, and he edits, adds, etc…  I then draw up the character and he hangs them in his room…if they meet his ultimate judgement.  Then I make him come up with a story for each character.

THE NINJA BROTHERS is a story that my son started to tell me one night before bedtime.  Perhaps in an attempt to put off the impending lights-out, the story of three long-lost brothers became almost epic in its proportions spreading out over a few evenings and interweaving all of his interests  – superheroes, spies, ninjas, and magic.
STINGUT is a boy who was kidnapped by an evil ninja master at a very young age. Â The ninja master trains Stingut in various marial arts and escape tricks. Â One day two ninjas infiltrate the ninja master’s fortress and take Stingut away. Â The two ninjas, BIRQ and KOKU, are actually Stingut’s brothers who have been training for years as ninjas so they could finally be able to rescue their long-lost little brother.
Together, the Ninja Brothers, start waging a guerilla style war against the evil ninja master who also controls the country they live in.
STINGUT, although young, is exceptionally skilled “at leaping around and disappearing like Batman and Robin.” Â He also carries a special arsenal created for him by the evil ninja master. Â His tolls include lock picks, and “little darts and sharp sticks to throw at bad guys because he is little so he has to use little stuff.” Â STINGUT can also do “really cool rope tricks and magic tricks with rope so he can get out of traps or tie up evil ninjas.” Â Alo, STINGUT carries a small magic short sword that each of his brothers have an identical copy of.
