Origins beyond 'X-Men'

Herman Blume, “Rushmore”

What we want to know: How did all the joy evaporate from the life of this bitter, battered man? When he was a student was he anything like Max Fischer? Or did he have a Fischer-esque rival even then?

Suggested casting: You’ll have to get a time machine to bring back the young Bill Murray; there’s really no one else who can match that perfect balance of cynicism and charm.
