He is unique from most other super heroes of his time in that he has no super powers but instead relies upon superior training and intellect (along with a great imagination and mostly being "Really Cool"). He is known as the world's greatest detective. He resides within the listening area of WRAT and is the alter-ego of millionaire playboy Willie Catchum. Willie took up the mantle of the Ratman after devoting his life to being cool. He has earned the distinction of being the International Spokesman for Funky Beat "the coolest little store anywhere".
