When we moved here, I was in the third grade. Two years later, we moved across town. The local place to eat for me and my brothers was Kermit's. It was a throwback to the drive in burger place. You could eat inside and listen to the jukebox, or eat outside at picnic tables, or in your car at a curb. Later on, I would take my wife and boy over to get them something to eat.
 
So the place was a local landmark for the neighborhood for years like Arnold's from Happy Days.
 
Last night, I saw it on the front page of the paper. Someone had shot it up while some firefighters were eating on the curb. The police were investigating but had no suspects yet.

Nah. The grifters have changed with the wind. The crazies are still all in

I'm picking Kim Kennison, the  Lensman, as my character, and Space Ranger (DC Comics) as my free option
CES

Seriously...what the hell?  

I need a home base, other piece of equipment, read only knowledge, character, and free option.
I think I am going to pick the Darkhold as my read only knowledge choice today.

I nominate Free Guy for the best movie of the year.

Just finished Battlegrounds. We see what high end magic is like for the first time in the Dresden Files and it is not pretty. I don't like what happened to Murphy, and I think the White Council made a major mistake in outlawing Harry again. He's like their tenth most powerful wizard and capable of going toe to toe with some of the other heavy hitters in the series (not Mab, or Odin, or the Archive, but some of the  others).

Answer the Call got 46 mill before there was a pandemic. Afterlife got 44 mill with a pandemic and the movie being delayed two years maybe. ATC opened in a summer slot with no competition. Afterlife opened in Nov right before Encanto and the Matrix Resurrections both of which are looking at taking the wind out of its sails. In a week, Afterlife has made almost as much money in five days as Answer the Call did in two weeks.
 
In my opinion, Paul Feige caused the failure of his movie. He should have said nothing. All he did was stir up people who might have given him a chance into saying we don't need your movie. And the movie sucked. (The boy said the actresses were trying to be too wacky which hurt the movie because they weren't funny). I have to agree with his assessment.
 
Critics liked Answer the Call but they don't like Afterlife. GB fans hated Answer the Call and liked Afterlife. That's all that matters.

The very first episode is the one with Gene Barry killing his wife with the help of his lover. This one is deep into season three after he got the dog.

This Variant of Bravestarr didn't get animal powers, a magical mentor, or a sense of law and order. Instead he got a scarred face and a bitter attitude as the fastest gunfighter around.
 
Bravestarr and Jonah Hex is the base for this character

On one New Texas the threat of Stampede became so great, Bravestarr followed in the footsteps of his mentor and learned more than his animal powers. He became Doctor Fate.

Let me go over what I have.
 
The setting is Cleveland, Ohio. It's up on the Great Lakes which is the stomping grounds of the Great Lake Avengers. Mr. Immortal was their founder and team leader at one point. His main power is to come back to life whenever he is killed. It's possible that events in Cleveland would have drawn his attention.
 
Mister E was a detective that investigated minor monsters and Scooby scams with his secretary and his assistant. He claimed that he could see the good and bad in people even though he was blind. No real name given. No other powers shown. For some reason, Neal Gaimon gave him time travel and future sight so he could kill Tim Hunter at the end of the universe, but I am going back to the original low key monster hunter.     
 
The Femme Fatale is retired super criminal turned adventurer Modesty Blaise. While she doesn't commit planned crimes like she used to, she does mix it up against other criminals and organizations with the help of her assistant Willie Garvin. Basically she was Red Reddington before there was ever a Blacklist.
 
I picked the Creeper as my brawler since DC has decided that Jack Ryder can't hold a job because they made him a split personality. Essentially he is the Kolchak of the DCU, moving from job to job, city to city because he ticks people off, and then they declared that every time he becomes the Creeper, he is high on drugs so he has no control over what he is doing. So working in Cleveland is just the newest thing for Ryder.
 
I don't know why I picked Usagi Tsukino, Sailor Moon except that she was a reincarnation of a moon princess from a moon kingdom and punishes monsters in the name of the Moon. Vacationing in Cleveland might be because of a warning being sent out to her advisors.
 
The Big Bad is the Kingpin. His position as the ruler of the New York underworld means that he has probably dealt with Modesty Blaise and the Creeper at some point. It gives him the wherewithal to hire Captain Boomerang and move him from Central City, Kansas to Ohio. And he has been revealed to be using the Tracksuit Mafia as his lower level gangsters to get things done. So what's in Cleveland that could attract his attention and cause a slew of random strangers to team up against him?
 
I am stating as part of the draft that Fisk has heard of the Pillars of New York under Manhattan. The story is that the island is held up by columns deep below the city and if anything should happen to them, the island will sink into the ocean and rivers. Maybe Fisk has actually seen these columns, or come across proof when Graviton lifted New York into the air. I think my missing piece is that Fisk has heard about a similar thing in Cleveland and has decided to see if he can blackmail the city over it.
 
I think my last piece is going to be the Cleveland Hellmouth from Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
 
That's a long winded thing there.
 
I still need a title. I always have problems with the titles. Maybe Great Lakes Sailor Scouts will do.

I trust DC to make a good superhero movie much like Corwin of Amber trusts his family.
 
Which is to say, not at all.
