Hero Initiative’s Jim McLauchlin posts on their blog that fans can donate money, play pool and win prizes at their Wizard World Chicago booth:
So. Paul Jenkins will be the Man of the Hour for Mighty Hero at Wizard World Chicago, and The Hero Initiative will have a pool table at our booth.
That’s right. A pool table at our booth. Paul will take on all comers in the manly arts of 8-ball and 9-ball, and in addition, special matches are being set up, to wit:
• THE BIG DIRTY! Instead of getting in at $30, a fan can challenge Paul to a single game for $500, and possibly with a $1000+ prize package! We’ll do this once a day. If your name is “Minnesota Fats,” you might be interested in this.
• THUNDERDOME (Two men enter, Paul Jenkins leaves!) A few other assorted comics pros have already challenged Jenkins to grudge matches for crazy stakes. Mark Millar and Joe Quesada are already in. Paul will shoot BEHIND HIS BACK against Quesada to even things up. Stakes are still being finalized, but may involve the surrender of beloved football jerseys to winners, and the washing of cars in Speedos. It is to cringe.

Wait, does Mclaughlin REALLY want to lock fans in a room with Paul Jenkins and large wooden objects? Methinks Mr. Jenkins should have a bodyguard for the duration.
