hisnameisthecaptain | 9th Hangover - I'm Real ☠☠☠☠ [Call

I guess.

As for my origin story, uh.

[He's obviously stalling to thing.]

I got my powers from a couple of little green aliens. It's called the Heart Star. It's magic.

And nothing else happened. Nothing at all.

Also, yes I am serious. I couldn't make this ☠☠☠☠ up. He had all sorts of crazy stuff. Like naked ninja's, giant psychic baby heads, broccoli men, you name it.

Green alien magic? And nothing else? I'm a little disappointed.

That doesn't sound that out there, though it sounds like it belongs in a video game.

I'm real though. I was just a guy before I got the powers. The magic to fly, to be almost impossible to kill and to punch things really hard.

I can't be a super soldier like Captain America. Or a radioactive roid rage ☠☠☠☠ like The Hulk. Or born with it like the X-Men and other mutant wack jobs in tights.

You can fly? That must be so useful! I wish I could fly, it would make things so much easier.

W-w-wait a minute! Those... those are all names of comic book heroes I found in the comic book store.

Flying's tough. No one ever teaches you how and it takes forever to learn how to land.

....

☠☠☠☠. Am I really a ☠☠☠☠ comic? Maybe you're crazy.

But the flying stat is one of the best, you can move past enemies without them blocking you.

I'm not crazy, I just bought them this past week. But if they are successful and famous heroes, why wouldn't they have a comic about them? Sir Aurum is a famous super hero from my world, and he has comics and video games, and anime, and statues, and all sorts of stuff about him.!

Flying stat?

[Someone doesn't play video games.]

Because they aren't famous. People don't like the x-men because they aren't human. People don't like the Hulk because he is a monster. People...

Well everyone loves ☠☠☠☠ Captain America. Well Americans do, not so sure about Germans or Russians.

Yeah! I heard there was an item that could grant it, but I never did find it.

There was quite a bit of Captain America stuff I noticed, so that's probably true. But are you sure they aren't famous? I mean, they're heroes right? Heroes are famous. Successful ones at least.

Yeah someone people had ways to fake it and fly.

I am pretty sure the others aren't. I don't know what sort of place you come from but back home being a hero doesn't mean people like you. The X-men weren't quite human so people hate them for it. There was something going on with politics and having them hunted, I don't know I don't pay much attention to that ☠☠☠☠.

So wait, you've heard of them but not Nextwave?

Back home only demons seemed to not really like heroes. Though... I still think Mao really likes them, even if he says he doesn't. Being persecuted does sound pretty complicated. It really is a different kind of world here.

Not that I saw at the store, but maybe that comes out a different week?

Yeah, the world isn't like comic books. Superman isn't going to fly in and fix everything. It's gritty and pretty complex. People are real, living their lives and trying to get by and trying to keep something new from ending all life.

... How would I know? I'm not a comic.

[Though now his feelings are hurt.]

It's a little disappointing. It's like everything I know about everything doesn't apply here.

Don't worry, I'll keep an eye out. I plan on going in ever week on delivery day, so if it ever comes in I'll tell you.

Yeah, if we had super heroes this would have all gone to ☠☠☠☠ long ago.

And thanks kid. I guess that means something.

You could always start it yourself, I hear that's popular lately.

No, I'm good without marketing. Thanks anyways.

Modest! I think I would be too. Even though I admire Sir Aurum very much, and want to be just like him, I don't think I could ever handle all the stuff there is about him if it were me.

Of course, I could never be as great as Sir Aurum, even trying to be like him is an impossible dream....

Then don't try to be like him. Try to be your own ☠☠☠☠.

I'm not going to be an Avenger or beat Captain America in a fight but I still helped take down Beyond.

My own.... Maybe if I had my title I could aspire to be something....

Title? Can't you just call yourself something?

No way! You need a proper title for a class description. Though, the field has been blank since I got here. And even if it wasn't... my hero title was taken away. I wasn't able to get it back yet.

Don't worry kid, you'll get it back.

I know how hard it is to get a cool name. I tried all sorts of names. I was Captain Marvel once, but who wasn't? I ended up having to pay some crazy melon farmer to get the name The Captain.

You had to buy your title!? That must have been so frustrating. I made mine, it took a lot of work but I spent my days off working really hard on it. And then when I finished it, I took time off to go defeat the Overlord!

Nice, see. You're pretty ☠☠☠☠ yourself.

My name was a pain in the ☠☠☠☠. I was scraping bottom of the barrel there for a while. I was going by Captain Kerosene for a while but someone already had that name.

See, being a super hero is pretty tough.

It sounds incredibly hard.

Yeah. I made the mistake of being bitter and telling Captain America I was Captain ☠☠☠☠.

Too bad his comic is a one shot run of 9 comics.

And not silver age. :c

Nope,it was a sorta protest, The Captain is all original.

What would he think about the comics available in Mayfeild?

What ones are available?

I think all the ones that would be found in America during the 1950s?

Haha, he's stupid and avoids books of all sorts. Someone should push him towards them.

Oh man, the comic book store is Almaz' new favourite place of all time!

It will end so poorly.

Those are usually the most amusing though.

Yeah they are
