-In early 2000, he took promising comics writer, [[Sally Twinings]] under his wing. He spent several weeks tweaking her scripts, brandishing them to reflect the brash and bold '''Bulldog''' style.  He persisted in giving her prime assignments, seeing something in her talent. He sensed that she too liked to be "where the action was."

-At an [[Astro City Comicon]], Manny was part of an editor's panel, when a disturbed supervillain known as [[Glowworm]] burst onto the stage, demanding Manny's attentions. Upset with a comic story that depicted him a racist, he thrashed Manny and put him in the hospital. Manny's determined personality won out over the broken bones and burns.  He was immediately back to his jovial and opportunistic self.  The incident with Glowworm inspired him to create a new comic book line dealing exclusively with over-the-top cosmic heroes.  Entities who wouldn't give a "gnat's fart" about ordinary humans and their seemingly simplistic endeavors on the lowly planet earth.

Upset with a comic story that depicted him a racist, he thrashed Manny mercilessly, sending him to the hospital. Manny's determined personality won out over the broken bones, burns, and bruises. He was immediately back to his jovial and opportunistic self.  The incident with Glowworm inspired him to create a new comic book line dealing exclusively with over-the-top cosmic heroes.  Entities who wouldn't, in his own words,give a "gnat's fart" about ordinary humans and their seemingly simplistic endeavors on the lowly planet earth.
 Six months later, his '''Cosmic Action''' books were among the top selling titles in the comics industry. Yet not so surprisingly, on an average morning, one like any other, Manny had gotten to the offices early, when without warning, the building housing the offices of '''Bulldog''' Comics had completely vanished.  Nothing was left, not even the foundation pillars. Arriving later in the day and viewing the shocking event, Sally Twinings, noted an overwhelming smell of ozone. Potent enough to perhaps be considered a 'gnat's fart,' but on a cosmic scale.

 Undoubtedly, Manny had managed to piss off a supremely powerful entity. One willing to express his displeasure in an immediately grandiose, yet ironic fashion.
