Sheldon Phillips is an artist and photographer in Zenith City.
History
Sheldon Phillips was taking a photo of his family when they got distracted by the Superior Squad flying into the area. Sheldon was annoyed as all he wanted was to take the photograph, but now everyone was distracted. When Sheldon was going around Zenith City trying to take nice photographs of the area, superheroes kept getting in the way of the shots. Sheldon then encountered a giant robot which had defeated Radioactive Man and a now super-powered Gloria Grand was fighting against it. Sheldon got photographs of the scene, thinking that a regular human who suddenly got super powers might be of interest to people. However, Sheldon got too distracted taking photos and lost his camera when the robot was defeated.
Sheldon bought a new camera and went around Zenith City trying to take interesting photos, all of which were blocked bu superheroes fighting against supervillains. Sheldon then learned that the average woman he saw fighting the robot was Gloria Grand, a reporter for WZEN News. Sheldon went to WZEN Tower to speak to her and Gloria gushed about Radioactive Man. When Gloria saw Radioactive Man fly past her window, she fell out of the window. As Radioactive Man saved her, Sheldon left.
Eventually, Sheldon decided to abandon taking photos and opened up an exhibit in the Mann Gallery. This exhibit had pictures of the superheroes and supervillains of Zenith City painted like comic book characters and proved to be a big hit. As Gloria Grand was interviewing Sheldon, a fight between Radioactive Man and Dr. Crab broke out outside of the art gallery, causing Gloria to cut the interview short.
