It all began back in 1995. The evil Baron Von Badguy was hypnotizing the citizens of Adrenicks City by using a very large pocket watch. Three heroic...heroes was what it took to bring him down
The Origin's Origin:
Baron Von Badguy was an evil man. His life of crime began early. Being German, he naturally had an evil accent. So the only path he could take was that of the wrong path. Thought of as too nuts and overdone, the other super villains rejected Baron Von Badguy. This caused him to be more evil, which in turn caused his wife to leave, making him even more evil. So he decided to build a giant pocket watch and hypnotize the people of Adrenicks City so he would have an indestructible army. Baron Von Badguy is rumored to have been a high commanding officer under Adolf Hitler.
Our Heroes:
Cowlick. One morning Steve Jeffrey Alfred Samuel Frederick Hoover woke up with a horrible cow lick. Little did he realize that this cowlick gave him the uncanny super power to throw round objects at extremely fast speeds. This power was discovered at breakfast when Steve's younger brother made fun of Steve's hair. Angry, Steve threw an orange at his brother. He has yet to wake up out of the coma. After witnessing the horrible things his power can do when used in anger, Steve decided to only use it for good. He soon bacame Cowlick and moved to Adrenicks City where he puts on a ball cap to hide his new identity. One time Cowlick threw a tennis ball to the moon.
Imagine Boy. Imagine Boy's true name is Cob Webb. One day Cob was being beaten up for having a ridiculous name. To try to ease the pain, Cob imagined that he was at the local comic book store instead of being beaten up. To his surprise he was there. He would go on to test his powers by doing random tricks like imagining he had the very first issue of The Amzing Spider-Man.
Dust Bunny. Dust Bunny has the power to control dust. No one knows his real name or what he looks like because he is covered with dust so bad that he appears to be a dust ball. He can shape his protective dust suit to form hands and various weapons. Dust Bunny is allergic to dogs.
The Story:
Seeing no alternative than to team up and stop Baron Von Badguy, the three young men formed a team. They called themselves, The Super Friends. Seeing as how none of them were experienced crime fighters, they called Captain Procrastination. The first couple of times no one answered. Finally, on the seventh try, Captain Procrastination answered, "Yeah, what is it?"
Imagine Boy replied, "Uh, Captain Procrastination, we're three super-heroes who have teamed up to stop Baron Von Bad Guy from brainwashing our city. We need your help."
"Yeah, I'll help you later." said the Captain and he hung up.
Dust Bunny and Cowlick looked at Imagine Boy with curiosity. "What did he say?" asked Cowlick.
"He said that he would help us later." answered Imagine Boy.
"Oh. Well...hmmm."
"Looks like we are on our own." said Imagine Boy.
So the team went to Baron Von Badguy's secret base above the giant swinging pocket watch.
"How did you find my base, you intolerable young do-gooders?" asked Baron Von Badguy.
"It was easy, we just...how did we find this place?" asked Imagine Boy.
"That's not important right now! What is important is that we stop Baron Von Badguy!" said Cowlick.
"Stop me? Who do you think you are? The allied forces?" said Von Badguy.
Oddly enough, Imagine Boy was British, Cowlick was American, and Dust Bunny had been known to whistle Russian tunes.
Anyway, Baron Von Badguy was prepared. He snapped his fingers and his two henchmen lept out.
The Henchmen:
Big. Big was born the size of an adult male. He grew and grew and soon he grew so big no one wanted him. The rejection made him angry, of course he was already angry because he had such big blisters on his big feet. Soon enough he joined with Baron Von Badguy as a henchmen. Big's arms are as thick as tree trunks.
Trash Can was built as a science fair project. The day before the fair, the robot was struck by lightning, causing him to short-circuit and be evil. Trash Can has hidden grenade launchers and a laser built into his head.
Back to the Story:
"Big clobber!" shouted Big and he punched Dust Bunny into a wall.
From behind him Cowlick pulled out a liquid filled baloon. "Eat acid baloons you over-grown...big man." He threw the baloon at the back of Big's head. It burst and did nothing, except make Big angry. "Crap. Wrong baloon."
"Big clobber funny hair man now!" shouted Big. The soundwaves crushed a nearby mountain range.
Digging into his pouch, Cowlick pulled out another baloon. "Ah, a sticky baloon." said Cowlick. Before he could throw it, Big punched him. The baloon fell out of his hand and landed at Big's feet.
"Big stuck! Big no move. Help Big!" Shouted Big. From behind him, Dust Bunny punched him with a giant dust fist. Cowlick, using his unbroken but in a massive amount of pain arm, threw a bowling ball into Big's face. This knocked the giant out cold.
While this was going on, Imagine Boy was left to fight Trash Can on his own. In a room full of pillars, Imagine Boy searched for the evil robot. From behind he heard the sound of bouncing grenades. One struck him and blew his lower torso off. Laying against a pillar and dying, Imagine Boy could do nothing but imagine what it would be like if Albert Einstein was there to talk to him about life, the universe and everything. Suddenly Einstein appeared.
"You know, Imagine Boy. If you imagined that you had a lower torso then you would not die." said Albert.
"You know. I should have thought about that." said Imagine Boy realizing how dumb he was. "Thanks Albert!"
Just then Trash Can locked onto Imagine Boy. "You are on your way to destruction." said the robot.
"Use the imagination, Imagine Boy." said Albert.
Imagine Boy tried hard, and his thoughts went back. Back to old Warner Bros. cartoons. Suddenly an anvil crushed Trash Can.
"The imagination will be with you, always." said Albert.
Baron Von Badguy stood nearby an big object with a tarp draped over it. "You may have defeated my henchmen, but you will not defeat me!" said Baron Von Badguy. He then pulled the tarp off of the object to reveal the Red Baron's plane. "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!" He then jumped into his plane and flew over the Super Friends.
"Hmmmm..." Said Albert Einstein. He then pulled out a pencil and a notebook and began to draw diagrams.
From above, Baron Von Badguy dropped bricks and laughed insanely. "You thought you had beat me, well I have news for you, the Nazis will always win. Seig hi!" He then gave Nazi salutes.
Albert continued to draw, while Cowlick threw his whole arsenal of round objects at Baron Von Badguy.
"I don't get it, the Red Baron wasn't a Nazi." said Imagine Boy.
Suddenly Albert asked, "How many baloons do you have left?"
"One. And it's filled with jelly." answered Cowlick.
"Good enough, on my signal throw it at that wall, but only at 75% of your strength. Dust Bunny, make a slide right there. Imagine boy, imagine the wall is made of rubber." Dust Bunny did as told. Then on Albert's signal, Cowlick threw the baloon, it bounced off the wall slid up the slide and busted on Baron Von Badguy's goggles.
"Noooooooo!" he shouted as his plane sped towards the city below them.
"Good work, gang." said Albert. He stuck his hand out, then they all stuck their hands out(you know, classic super-hero team up stuff). "We are the Super Friends."
"Ahem." came from behind them. "I believe we are the Superfriends."
They turned around and saw Superman, Aquaman, Wonder-Woman, the Wonder Twins, and Batman standing there.
"Expect a call from our lawyer." said Aquaman.
"No one steals our show, right friends?"
All but Batman said "Right." Instead he stood there with his arms crossed and a frown on his face and said, "I'm not your friend."
The End
P.S. I wonder if it would have been easier if Imagine Boy simply imagined Baron Von Badguy away. -todd
