And safe. Super safe. And he does this all in secret. No one in his civilian life knows he's actually...Stuntboy!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut his regular Portico identity is pretty cool, too. He lives in the biggest house on the block, maybe in the whole city, which basically makes it a castle. His mom calls where they live an apartment building. But a building with fifty doors just in the hallways is definitely a castle. And behind those fifty doors live a bunch of different people who Stuntboy saves all the time.
