Biography:
Last pup of a dying planet, a young German Shepherd is rocketed to Earth, where he is bombarded by cosmic gamma rays emitted by a radioactive spider. Crash-landing in the forgotten land of Hubba Hubba, he is discovered by the Who-You-Callin'-Ancient One and his lovely wife Pookie. Instilled with their traditional American values, he spends his young adulthood roaming the globe, learning all the secrets of Comic-Fu. Donning battle armor fashioned from spilled chemicals splashed by lightning, he becomes the Sensational Shield of Sequential Art ACE THE BATHOUND! Look, it sounds a lot better than the truth. Born in Brooklyn, moved to Queens at 3 and then New Jersey at 10. Throughout high school, college, grad school, and gainful employment, two things have remained constant: 1) I am a colossal nerd, and 2) I have spent far too much time reading comics, and then reading and writing about them. Currently working as a financial programmer in New York City, while continuing to discover all the wonderful little surprises (and expenses) of owning your a home in the suburbs. Shares the above with a beautiful, wonderful, and incredibly understanding wife named Frances (who, thankfully, participates in most of my silly hobbies) and a large furry dog named Brownie (who, sadly, does not).

|
Biography:
Got hooked into "Batman" at a very early age and that spun itself into a dozen other interests and hobbies, including movies, writing, drawing, and comic collecting. I started up "The World's Finest Message Boards" on September 20th, 1998, and "The World's Finest" site followed quickly afterwards. After a few years of jumping from server to server, I settled down with "Toon Zone" and I've been apart of this great community ever since.
I currently help run "The World's Finest" and "WF DVD Report," as well as act as administrator, reporter and moderator.

Nobuyuki sama |

Biography:
When not engaged in the neverending battle for truth and justice, "Nobu" can be found either lurking as a mild-mannered reporter for Toon Zone and Toonami Infolink, or annoying people in real life with tales of the open road, cartoon discussions or Mac advocacy.

a.k.a.:
Jacob T. Paschal
Biography:
In February 2007 I was offered a job as a reporter for Toon Zone News and I took it, now I report news for a really cool site and I am always looking for ways to sell it like a product. Additionally, I battle with an innate tendency to be arrogant and ignorant. Jacob is also very, very, lazy. Loathed by all, I sometimes wake up in the middle of the night wondering if maybe I'll get in trouble for a post I made. One day I hope to achieve the wisdom and cool of the senior 'veteran' staff members. Until the day I shed my immaturity I look to the senseis for stewardship...

Duke |

Biography:
I'm a big cartoon nut, and have a semi-active imagination. I'm hoping to become a novelist and get a few of my works turned into animated series (hopefully Toonami). I've been a Toonami fanboy since day one, March 17, 1997.
Bah, I have no idea what to say for these things. :P
I guess I should say that I am a Moderator for the Toonami and Anime Forums as well as a Reviewer here at Toon Zone (It's "Toon Zone," not "Toonzone" or "ToonZone"!), and will usually be found in any topic that has the words "Pokémon" or "Gundam" in it.
