COSTUMED CRIMEFIGHTERS ACADEMY – Online (for the duration of the emergency)Review Lesson #9: Lifespans. Our applicant’s use of the word “forever” might seem to be hyperbole at first, but he has touched upon something seldom discussed in our profession; longevity. A successful superhero can expect to be around for a very long time. (Indeed, the girl he currently sees as his “Junior Commando” is approaching the centennial of her graduation from this Academy, Class of ‘24.) Note, however, this does not necessarily mean immortality; many of our graduates have tasted death at least once in their careers (Refer to C. Kent, Class of ’36, Dean Emeritus, T. Stark, Class of ’63, et al ) and some multiple times, but are restored to life again for the sake of continuing the story. In our courses, we still teach self-defense to avoid this, because repeated deaths and resuscitations can take their toll on a person, no matter what their overall physique. This is one reason why most people aspiring to this genre apply to our institute instead of _Sam’s School for Supervillains_, since the “shelf life” of all but the fiercest or most unique of antagonists can be very short, indeed. (Refer to Body Count, D. Tracy, Class of ’31) BTW, for those of you who wonder how the girl classifies as a costumed crimefighter, search her history… ever notice she always wears red – even with modern jeans?

Morning, Anniephans!
Suggest to Warbucks that he hire some professional trackers and keep searching on the ground!

“We’ve done the best we could”.
Hardly. They did NOT organize a ground search. Flying above the obviously rocky and wooded terrain is not a comprehensive search.

Somehow I don’t see this working out well for the Phantom Commando. Lunacy tends to hamper self-appointed crime fighters.
