To Begin from The Tubaman by John Burnett

This story begins with Simon Burnett - a mediocre tuba player
Playing the tuba provided Simon with some unrivalled gifts
Namely, a huge amount of time not really playing anything, and access to
some destructively low-frequency notes!
Although he has since acquired new skills, this was the ideal foundation for him to build upon in his never-ending search for justice.

The result, of course, is the infamous and ever-mysterious super-hero know only as "the Tubaman"
Unfortunately, Tubaman was a wanted man - not only by his own enemies, of which there are many, but by the very police force he aided!
Stuck-up snobs!

But, anyway, this huge problem is the reason why Tubaman never revealed his true identity to ANYONE!
Except, of course, his sidekick, Bass-Trombone-Boy, and his
Band of Merry Minions

He successfully kept up this deception with a very simple mind trick:
At the end of each and every performance he happened to be participating in, he would stand at the front of the stage
and say, "Ladies and gentlemen, I have an important announcement; I am the Tubaman!"

This trick fooled nearly everyone!
It did not, however, fool the evil super-villain "The Vending Machine"!
