Goodreads asked Mark Millar:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Mark Millar The book I’m writing at the moment is called Huck and it’s about a guy with learning difficulties having a super-ability. It’s always billionaires or Thunder Gods or super-soldiers in these stories and I thought it would be interesting to do something like Forrest Gump, a kind of Frank Capra superhero story, instead. I got the idea from a man I met at a place where I volunteer who does one good deed every day and is the basis of this character too. He’s the purest, most decent character I’ve ever created and quite different from something like Hit-Girl or Eggsy in Kingsman.
