Pat Stout (He/Him)
Other
Pat is a Jamaican-American writer and Muay Thai fighter hailing from rural Florida. He grew up on a small
farm with his single mother, and developed an early
love for heroes and comics after visiting the Superman
Museum with his grandfather and receiving a D.C.
Encyclopedia from him at the age of 10. Pat would often
escape the farm to his own fantasy worlds, imagining
what it would be like to have superpowers and go on
heroic adventures. His favorite pastimes were reading
manga after school, drawing accessories for his comic
book characters or acting them out in athletic feats. His
elders did not approve of these passions and quelled
his pursuits. However, after playing football and
studying biology as a student-athlete at Wesleyan
University, Pat realized his heart was in the arts. After
Wesleyan, Pat reconnected with his partner, Asa, and
they dove into their passions, creating “Sentinel 6”; a
futuristic sci-fi about a group of super powered young
people of color who must face both the problems
within society and those within themselves. Through
writing and martial arts, Pat has explored the path of
the hero, so to speak, and developed a deep connection
to the story of Sentinel 6
