"Thank God I wore this helmet -- your power of super-farts is nauseating Lightning Lad. Plus your skintight shorts are repulsing Saturn Girl. What, you were raised on a farm, Super-redneck?"
"Grife, this is kewl! When we all press the B button at once, his head spins around. Press your A button, Saturn Girl, and make his arm do that bird thing again."
"I dunno, dawg, it was a little pitchy."
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry, but we already have a "Batman" and his chest logo much more closely matches his theme.

ReplyDelete"Sorry, Superboy, you can't join us until you change your costume into something nearly unrecognizable."
ReplyDelete"You're too late, Superboy - you can't join the Legion, you've been retconned out of continuity."
Ha! Dave you crack me up.
