Looked at that one. Like most of the others left, it'll inconvenience both of us fairly equally. I thought about taking Ordinary Day. But that's no fun. So I'll take Overconfidence instead.
Ra's al-Ghul and Kraven the hunter were practically at each other's throats.
"Should we break 'em up?" Wolverine asked, popping a beer and enjoying the spectacle.
"I'm rather enjoying it," Fatality said.
"Fifty bucks says the Eco-Freak wins," Wolverine proposed.
"I'll take that bet," the Green Goblin agreed.
"Yes, but you're crazy," Fatality ponited out.
The Green Goblin just shrugged. They never got to find out who would have won. Two massive hands reached out and grabbed Kraven and al-Ghul by the backs of their necks and lifted them a foot off the floor.
"Stupid men making too much noise," Solomon Grundy grumbled at them, "disturbing Grundy's new friend." Grundy inclined his head to the corner where the Man-Thing stood, looking very out of place. "Stop it or I bash your heads together."
In a three way battle of wills, neither Kraven nor al-Ghul wanted to give in, but Grundy was obviously willing and able to hold them both up all day if he had to. As one, both men ceased their struggling. Grundy lowered them back to the ground, where both tried to uncrick their necks. Grundy went back to the corner. Despite the Man-Thing's lack of a voice, the two seemed to understand each other on a deeper level, as only two beings spawned from the ooze could.
"One day the universe changed. It was slight but a change nonetheless. Maybe it was magic, maybe it was time-manipulation, we don't know. We only know that this is how things came to be," Brian Braddock begins his class in a large lecture hall.
In a row sit six unique individuals in disguise waiting for the speech to end and their nightly carousing to begin.
"Why must all the hunky ones be so dreadfully dull?" Nebula asks reapplying the make up over a blue patch of skin that was showing.
"Why I don't find Professor Braddock dull at all," Gwen Stacy replies.
"Of course you don't, little munchkin," the Ultrahumanite says condescendingly patting her back, "Next to you he's a pillar of excitement."
Nebula and Ultrahumanite look at each other and laugh. But their laughter belies their true feelings: good people can be so #### beautiful.
Their pensiveness is disturbed by an "Eeek!" from behind their row.
"I saw..." a girl says, "I mean I thought I saw a tail...a huge green tail....".
Gwen turns around to comfort the girl, "A tail, Sharon, really? Maybe you've too much caffeine," she smiles. As she pats the girls leg she also grabs the Lizards and then turns to him, "And you...keep your tail in your coat until after we leave."
"But it'sssssssssss sssssssssssssssso uncomfortable..." he says.
"No problem, kiddo," says Deadpool, "I'll be glad to shoot it off for ya. Now bend to the left just a little...".
"No ssssssssssssstop," Lizard replies in fear. The whole scene is now becoming a ruckus. A mysterious female figure, drapped head to toe in a velvet purple hooded cape comes behind the Lizard and wacks him stunning the creature. She lifts down her hood and speaks, "I suggest NOW might be a good time to quietly leave".
Punisher is the first up from his seat leading Lizard out, "Works for me. What the hell we all are doing here is beyond me. Let's go beat up someone."
Enthusiastic "yeahs" are heard all around as the group leaves the lecture hall.
"Deadpool...are you coming?" Gwen asks.
"Oh no I love lectures on dinosaurs!".
"But this is on physics?".
"Who cares..got any popcorn?".
Captain Britain sighs. He just can't take this group anywhere.

"All right, gentlemen - and lady!" A door slammed open. A voice boomed. A heavyset woman with iron-grey hair, wearing red long-johns and carrying a large stew-pot strode into the room. She continued, "we've got a major job here and I hope you're all ready for it."
"What are you talking about, woman?" Ra's asked.
"You're here because we're on a mission. There's another team of costumes out there, and it's up to us to stop them."
"What make you think I'm going to take orders from you?" Kraven demanded.
"Listen, Mister Leopard-Skin Tightpants," she said, getting right in his face, "I've been going up against supervillains since before you were born. Don't think I'm the least bit afraid of you, buddy-boy, 'cause I've had worse than you for breakfast during the big one. Now you got anything else to say?"
"No ma'am," Kraven said sheepishly.
"Good, because we haven't got much time. You may have heard of me. I..." she said, putting the pot on her head like a helmet, "am the Red Tornado!"
"I thought the Red Tornado was an android with the ability to control wind currents," Ra's pointed out.
"You're correct, Mr. Smarty-pants. He's a good kid. But with me you got the original. I let him use the name when I went into retirement. But I pulled the old uniform out of mothballs for this. Because it's important."
"Man-Thing says we need to help Tornado-Lady. Grundy's in," Grundy said.
"I like your style, woman," Fatality said. "You can count on me."
"Well, I didn't have anything else planned for this afternoon," Logan said, pulling his cowboy hat down over his eyes, "an' I'm always up for a good scr*p."
"Sure," the Green Goblin agreed. "Why not?"
"Good, it's settled then," Ma Hunkel said. "And get your feet off the coffee table," she continued, slapping Wolverine's boots. He smiled and obeyed.
"Nothing's settled," Ra's al-Ghul said. "I'll have nothing to do with this."
"Ah, I can't blame you," Hunkel waved him away, "I understand. You don't want to get shown up by Leopard pants here."

Poor Teamwork - a fine one to have in play for my first action! Especially since you get to roll again on your turn to hopefully get another one instead.
I'm going to have to try to keep Ma Hunkel alive, just for the story potential, instead of using her as live bait or blocking terrain like most people do with pogs.
