RAIS Abandoned at birth in a junkyard and raised by a traveling circus freak show, Dwayne spent his entire youth mastering martial arts, juggling, and a variety of bizarre circus skills. When his master, alcoholic Buddhist monk So-Do-Re-Me retired and opened a toy store, Dwayne was his most loyal friend and partner. But when Dwayne was 12 years old, So-Do-Re-Me was brutally murdered in a botched robbery attempt right in front of the young boy’s eyes, and something snapped in his head, leaving him mentally unstable ever since. Donning a cape and mask to shield his identity, Dwayne vowed to avenge his master’s death and rid the streets of scum and villainy once and for all.
Now, after fighting crime with his trusted alter ego, Kudos (a ventriloquist doll that The Yo-Yo Avenger carries around on his back) and keeping the city safe for almost two decades, Dwayne has had enough. He wants to quit being a superhero and lead a normal life, but the city needs him now more than ever as a crazed anonymous madman known only as Mr. X has a plan to blow up the moon for no apparent reason other than to safely watch from his space station as all life on earth slowly becomes extinct. The only thing Mr. X needs is the formula for tetrahydrabazookanol, a bio-nuclear liquid chemical so powerful that a single drop is more powerful than a hundred Hiroshimas, but the formula is on a disc that safely rests in Dwayne’s possession, until. . .
Tragedy befalls Dwayne when Mr. X not only acquires the disc and Kudos, but Delores Dane, the beautiful journalist for the Megalopolis Times who has secretly captured the heart of our hero. On Mr. X’s space station, Kudos awaits to be turned into kindling and Delores is held as unwilling prisoner, and the evil Mr. X plans to launch a rocket with 100 gallons of the deadly explosive right into the center of the moon and set off a cataclysmic chain reaction that will end the human race. Has Dwayne given up and accepted his fate? Can a man with a yo-yo really save the world? Is it all in his mind? Will there be a sequel?
How the hell does it end, anyhow? |
