*Since the feverish day his consciousness rocketed from the planet Meta to America, Shade has possessed the body of a serial killer; become a woman; died; returned as a mental patient, and currently reigns as a mad, mod, poet god. He has performed missions for the angels and schemed for the devil. He is The Changing Man, possessed of the reality-improving power of madness, peering out from the invisible gap between moments as he peels away the hot, sticky mysteries of life. *Source: Back of card
