New Topic: It's been almost two weeks, and stories are starting to come out. What did your favorite superhero/villain get caught doing over Valentine's Day weekend?

A Junior High School girl waits for Billy Batson to meet her at the multiplex for a data and Captain Marvel Shazam shows up.

 

NT: Subtle signs your military has been buying their equipment from Foxbat Enterprises (Providers of Fine Comedic Weaponry since Last Tuesday!).
