Mark: Y'know, you really ruined my afternoon.

Mark: Well, now that I've got you all to myself... SoundEffect: CHA-THOOM!

Mark: *Sigh*

SoundEffect: THOOM!

Mark: If I keep this up I'm going to give myself a heart attack!

Caption: Four months ago...

Debbie: If you keep that up, you're going to give yourself a heart attack!

Mark: Jesus, Mom! I'm just reading a comic book! I'll be out in a minute!

Debbie: Well, you need to stop reading that comic book and start getting ready. You're going to be late for school!

Mark: Don't worry... I won't be late.

Mark: See. what'd I tell you?

Debbie: Ready, with ten minutes to spare. I should never have doubted you, son.

Mark: Where's Dad at? Did he come home last night?

Debbie: No, he's had a lot of trouble at work lately. I just wish I knew where he was.

Mark: Can you turn the TV on, please?

Debbie: Sure.

SoundEffect: ...Using a dragon-like monster to enslave a portion of Taiwan. New reports reveal the blurred figure seen in this amateur photograph to be none other than Omni-Man, defender of democracy.

SoundEffect: Eyewitness reports are that the battle has been raging for nearly ten hours, destroying portions of the town in its wake. Stay tuned to channel six, Action News for any further information.

Mark: Well, now you know where he is.

Debbie: I hope he brings back something nice for me. I've never been to Taiwan.

William: Hey! Mark, wait up!

Mark: Oh. Hey, William. What's up?

William: A few of us are gonna go hang out at Shenanigans tonight. Do you want to tag along?

Mark: No can do, pal. I've got to be at Burger Mart in about twenty minutes!

William: Oh, yeah. Forgot about you having the job... Sucks to be you.

Mark: Thanks, man. I'll see you later.

Mark: It's about time.

Debbie: Let's go ahead and start. It doesn't look like he's going to be home any time soon.

Mark: I had a pretty interesting day--

SoundEffect: WOOOOOOOOOSH!

Omniman: Sorry I'm late. There was an enchanted flood in Egypt I had to deal with on the way over.

Debbie: Did you take care of that dragon?

Omniman: Yeah, once I found out who was controlling the thing, there wasn't much to it. The hard part was keeping the civilians safe while I figured out who was behind it all.

Debbie: Your publisher called. He wanted to check and see how the next book was coming along. I told him you were on one of your research trips.

Omniman: I guess I'll take a day off this weekend and write a book for them. I'll have to pick up a couple spare keyboards. I hope the Guardians of the Globe can cover for me.

Debbie: So... how was your day, Mark?

Mark: Fine. I think I'm finally getting superpowers.

Debbie: That's nice. Can you pass the potatoes?

Mark: Okay...

Mark: ...Dad says it's just a reflex... So if I can fly... It should just happen when I jump off.

Mark: As long as I have my dad's invulnerability, this shouldn't even hurt if I hit the ground.

Mark: ...But if I can't fly yet... Then it's possible that I'm not invulnerable yet...

Mark: Oh... What the heck!

Mark: Whoa!

Mark: Too cool!

Titan: Boy, we really screwed that one up!

Thug1: We?

Titan: Oh, so it's my fault the cops showed up so quick?

Thug1: It was a diamond heist! We knew there would be cops there! Why do you think we brought you along?!

Thug2: You were there to take care of the cops so we could calmly make our getaway.

Thug2: You weren't supposed to run with us, you idiot!

Titan: Just because bullets bounce off me doesn't mean they feel like back rubs! There were at least six cops back there ready to open fire!

Titan: Besides... they won't catch us.

Thug2: Whatever, just get us over that fence.

SoundEffect: POW!

SoundEffect: THOOM

SoundEffect: KRAK!

Titan: Who the hell are you?

Titan: Are you trying to stop us or rob us?

SoundEffect: THOOM!

Mark: Sorry about that... I guess the outfit could be a bit misleading. I'm sure my intentions are clear, now.

Omniman: What in God's name are you wearing? And isn't it a bit early to be doing this? You've had your powers for what... a week?

Mark: Two weeks, actually. I'm still getting the hang of it. I've been wearing this when I practice flying so people won't recognize me. I spotted these guys and just couldn't let them get away.

Omniman: Well, I can't have you looking that ridiculous. It sounds like the police are here to pick up these sleeping beauties, so come on,

Omniman: I'm going to introduce you to a guy that can help you out.

Caption: Prom dresses by day, nuclear powered suits of armor by night...

Art: ...with your standard spandex number thrown in every now and then for good measure. I've had this secret workshop here forever. Omniman: Well... how does it feel?

Mark: I don't know about this orange and yellow. I mean, it sings... But I don't think it's the tune we were looking for. And what's with all these weird disk things?

Art: They're solar batteries. I designed that costume back when I was under the impression that you and your dad's powers were solar based.

Omniman: It's a common mistake, don't worry about it.

Omniman: Crap, Gridlock is tearing up the east side bridge! I've got to go!

Art: Use the north--! SoundEffect: WHOOOOOOSH!
