C. Wright Mills (August 28, 1916 - ?) was an Outsider mathematician (nonfiction) and time-travelling superhero.

He is widely thought to have died saving America from evil, and then deliberately thrown himself into an eternally fatal self-recursive loop so that the fight would go on forever.

It is possible -- but not likely -- that Mills sacrificed himself to stop the Pi disaster.

However, recent computer models (February 2016) strongly indicate that this is not the case, and that Mills in fact sacrificed himself for some as-yet entirely unknown cause.

Mills and Dalton Trumbo were friends. They formed a part-time crime-fighting team.
