Origin

Frederick Xavier Ray was a young copywriter working for a Madison Avenue ad agency when he was caught embezzling along with an art direction named Jim Smith. The two were fired from their jobs, starting a domino affect ruining both of their lives. Eventually, they opened a company that sold children's novelty items like X-Ray Specs and Piranha People (knock-off sea monkeys). One day, Ray's estranged daughter Judy arrived to his office. She told her dad that her mother passed away and left her in the care of her drunk uncle. Ray rejected her pleas to take her in, forcing her to run crying from his office. When he chased after her, he found that his office building no longer exited to Madison Avenue but to a new street called Hyde Street. Mr. X-Ray was now stuck on this street under mysterious circumstances.
