Jackson discussed writing "Bulletproof":
Bulletproof is a fictional character a comic book superhero from the Image Comics series Invincible. His first appearance was in Invincible #9. Before the name "Invincible" was settled on, "Bulletproof" was one of the proposed names of the main character of the series. Bulletproof's costume also appears to be based on early designs for Invincible's costume, and in Invincible's first visit to Art Rosenbaum, the tailor who supplies his costumes, Art's initial offering ends up being worn by Bulletproof.
In Invincible #89, Bulletproof takes up the Invincible mantle while Mark recovers from the Scourge Virus.
Bulletproof attended the auditions for the new Guardians of the Globe held after the original Guardians were murdered. At this time he was not selected; however, after Robot's chosen team failed to live up to expectations, Donald, the Guardians' government liaison, made some changes to the team, including adding Bulletproof to the roster.
As well as being super fast (almost as fast as Red Rush) and having the ability to fly, Bulletproof is apparently almost as invulnerable as Omni-Man, although according to Bulletproof "not nearly as evil." Despite his supposed invulnerability, early in his career with the Guardians of the Globe, Bulletproof was hospitalized for several weeks after an encounter with the extraterrestrial creature Battle Beast. He has subsequently made a full recovery and remains an active member of the Guardians.

Additional personnel:
A roller coaster train is a vehicle made up of two or more cars connected by specialized joints which transports passengers around a roller coaster's circuit.
It is called a train because the cars follow one another around the track, the same reason as for a railroad train. Individual cars vary in design and can carry from one to eight or more passengers each.
Many roller coasters operate more than one train, sometimes several, simultaneously. Typically they operate two trains at a time, with one train loading and unloading while the other train runs the course. On the Rock 'n' Roller Coaster at Walt Disney World, there are five trains, but only four operate at a time (the trains are rotated out on a regular basis for safety reasons).
Roller coaster trains have wheels that run on the sides (side friction or guide wheels) and underneath the track (upstop, underfriction, or underlocking wheels) as well as on top of it (road or running wheels); these lock the train to the tracks and prevent it from jumping the track. The side wheels can be mounted on the outside or inside of the train, depending on the manufacturer (although outside-mounted wheels are more common). The wheels are sometimes located between the cars, as well as at the front and rear of the entire train.
In clothing, a train describes the long back portion of a skirt, overskirt, or dress that trails behind the wearer. It is a common part of a woman's court dress, formal evening gowns or wedding dress.
In the Roman Catholic Church the cappa magna (literally, "great cape"), a form of mantle, is a voluminous ecclesiastical vestment with a long train. Cardinals, bishops, and certain other honorary prelates are entitled to wear the cappa magna.

I came to make it right, I know it was your birthday
Now I do remember, but these days my mind ain't right
Maybe it's the pressure, think you can forgive me?
Don't over think it baby, doesn't mean that I am falling out of love
Don't you think that I wish that I could be somebody else sometimes?
Someone to depend on, I don't know what's wrong with me
Don't you think that I wish that I could be somebody else sometimes?
Someone that would never forget your birthday
I bet your family, never wants to see me, sisters want to knee me
Most times I think they're right
Whistling my memory away just like a melody
And what worth's an alibi
Think what it's like to be me, if only need me
Don't you think that I wish that I could be somebody else sometimes?
Someone to depend on, I don't know what's wrong with me
Don't you think that I wish that I could be somebody else sometimes?
Someone that would never forget your birthday
When I met you, you were looking for a sunny day
A little bit of heart and a whole lot of running away
And now you're looking at somebody that you would love to change
Don't you think that I wish that I could be somebody else for you?
Someone you could count on, what is taking so long?
Don't you think that I wish that I could be somebody else sometimes?
Someone that would never forget your birthday
Baby, happy birthday
