[Twisted Sister]

 
It was early enough in the day where the customers at the Heroes & Villains comic book store were few and far between. It was a double blessing as that meant that there would not be many, if any, customers to risk bothering this pair, and there would be little risk to other customers should they opt to do so.

The door opened with a slight jingle of the overhead bell and in walked, perhaps surprisingly enough, the controversial wrestling manager and psychological therapist, Doctor Kraven Moorehead. At his side was his client, the woman who was quickly being noticed as perhaps the most blood thirsty and violent Bombshell in SCW history, Twisted Sister.

The clerk behind the counter looked up from where he was taking stock in the computer system and did an immediate double take at what had just walked inside. For years at stores like these and comic book conventions, he had seen a number of cosplay spectacles, but the sight of Twisted Sister and the man with her was a tad short of perplexing. There was no contest and this was certainly no convention.

Clerk: "Hi. Is there something I can assist you with?"

Doctor Kraven Moorehead waved off the clerk's attempt at customer service, it was for the best with his unstable patient so near.

Doctor Kraven Moorehead: "No, thank you. We're fine. I'm just here for a bit of research with..."

He motioned toward Twisted Sister who had been drawn toward the glass case and wall display, both filled with carded and loose action figures from everything between Marvel to DC to Masters of the Universe and more.

The clerk blinked. Research? Odd. The punk chick didn't look like a student.

Clerk: "College?"

Doctor Kraven Moorehead: "No."

And he said nothing else. The clerk shrugged. He tried. When working retail, you met all kinds. Some wanted assistance, others took it as an affront to their egos to even be offered. Still, he had this funny feeling he had best keep alert for this particular pair. The man seemed -- odd -- in a sense, but that green haired chick just sent off bad vibes in a major way.

Doctor Kraven Moorehead held his hands behind his back as he cautiously approached Twisted Sister who was now looking at the display of new comic releases, the colors and art work causing her to grin.

Doctor Kraven Moorehead: "We're here for a reason, my dear. This coming weekend, you are not only being given the chance to shine in a tournament where the winner will face the World Champion, but you are also opposing a ... superhero."

The use of the term 'superhero', and his tone of voice when doing so, showed that Doctor Kraven Moorehead had his doubts as to the claim held by not only Roxi Johnson, but also her partner and wife. Keira Fisher. Twisted Sister brought her head up and shook her head.

Twisted Sister: "Wonder Woman?"

Doctor Kraven Moorehead: "No, not Wonder Woman."

Twisted Sister: "Not the Phoenix!"

Twisted Sister shook her head emphatically, refusing to dignify the notion of facing Marvel comic's most powerful female character. Doctor Kraven Moorehead held up a hand to ease her fear.

Doctor Kraven Moorehead: "No, no. Not the Phoenix. Roxi Johnson."

Twisted Sister: "Who?"

Doctor Kraven Moorehead: "Roxi Johnson. Former World Champion of the SCW. Former Internet Champion. Their current World Tag Team Champion..."

Twisted Sister frowned and one eyebrow rose in confusion and disbelief.

Twisted Sister: "I'm expected to believe that!?"

Twisted Sister's raised voice drew a few looks from the two other customers in the store, and from the clerk himself.

Doctor Kraven Moorehead: "Yes, my dear. She is a champion many times over, and apparently fancies herself a superhero -- of sorts. One that is constantly posting sexualized messages on social media, so hardly a proper role model, but I digress."

Twisted Sister dropped the toy she had been holding with perhaps the hopes of buying it for herself, and she leaned over the table filled with boxes of back-issue comic books. Her eyes widened with manic delight and she smiled brightly.

Twisted Sister: "A superhero? I get to fight a superhero!?"

Doctor Kraven Moorehead nodded his confirmation. That led Twisted Sister to a brief cease to her delight and she frowned again.

Twisted Sister: "Wait! Does that make me the super villain!? I'm not a villain! I'm DELIGHTFUL!"

Doctor Kraven Moorehead: "Yes, you are very delightful, but no. You are not a villain. The line between hero and villain in comic books are often blurred at best, if existent at all. Look at some of the most popular so-called heroes today. Batman. This 'hero' as he calls himself commits more crimes than the men he often apprehends. Assault. Stalking. Breaking and entering. Theft. Breaking and entering. And yet the public adores him."

Twisted Sister: "They adore ME!"

Doctor Kraven Moorehead: "Yes. That they do. Then we have the Wolverine. Perhaps the most popular anti-hero in all of comics, and he is a violent, rampaging psychopath that carves his enemies up without a second thought, much like a wild animal."

Twisted Sister shook her head.

Twisted Sister: "I hate that type!"

Doctor Kraven Moorehead: "Er, yes. The Wolverine even killed his own son. Tsk Tsk! And these are the sorts that the public seems to love. Just like the woman you will be facing in Jamaica this weekend..."

The uttering of the location of this weekend's edition of Climax Control made Twisted Sister throw back her head and cackle. She then started dancing in place and singing....

Twisted Sister: "Put da lime in de coconut and drink it all up...!"

She was starting to draw more stares than the norm with her singing and apparently, dancing, and the good doctor moved to intervene and calm her.

Doctor Kraven Moorehead: "But I brought you here as a bit of a project. Research, if you will, on the weaknesses of super heroes. I thought it would help you bring down your opponent to a more amicable level on Sunday. Weaken the superhero, and they will be prime material for an embarrassing defeat."

The thought of besting a superhero makes Twisted Sister stiffen her arms in anticipation and grin.

Doctor Kraven Moorehead: "Every superhero has a weakness, no matter how powerful or seemingly unbeatable the odds may be in their favor. Come..."

Doctor Kraven Moorehead takes her by the arm to escort her towards a display of comic books and toys in the far corner of the store, Twisted Sister pausing only long enough to quickly snatch the toy she had desired from the floor. At the display, the Doctor motioned towards the toys and 'funny books' and started a small lecture.

Doctor Kraven Moorehead: "Now take Superman, for example. Most powerful man in DC comics, and a simple radioactive rock from his own home planet is his greatest weakness."

Twisted Sister: "Pft! Loser."

Doctor Kraven Moorehead: "Indeed! Daredevil? Noise pollution of all things. The man may as well retire now in today's society. Your precious Wonder Woman is rendered a helpless and weak female..."

He noticed Twisted Sister's frown and he quickly interjected...

Doctor Kraven Moorehead: "Just her, not a woman such as yourself. She is rendered so if a mere male of any type binds her bracelets together. The Green Lantern can not affect anything the color of yellow. So you see?"

Twisted Sister turned her head toward her 'doctor'.

Doctor Kraven Moorehead: "Every superhero, no matter who they are or how powerful they may be, has a weakness of some sort."

Twisted Sister started to grow visibly excited.

Twisted Sister: "What's Roxi's weakness!?"

This made Doctor Kraven Moorehead ponder the question, rubbing his chin with the tips of his fingers.

Doctor Kraven Moorehead: "An excellent question. I would dare say her main weakness would be her own bride, Keira Fisher. Such a weak emotion could be used against her at a moment's notice. However in a case like this, I would dare say..."

He held his hand out toward Twisted Sister and she looked around before pointing toward herself with a smile. Doctor Kraven Moorehead nodded.

Doctor Kraven Moorehead: "Yes. You. You, my dear, are Roxi Johnson's greatest weakness, and this weekend, you will exploit it for all to see. Like all beloved super heroes, she has pulled the wool over the eyes of her adoring public, hiding her greed at wishing another championship to add to her already glutted collection. You will remove that wool from the eyes of the world and show her for what she truly is. A wolf in that very sheep's clothing."

Twisted Sister: "Baaaaaaaaaa!"

Doctor Kraven Moorehead: "Now! What have we learned?"

Twisted Sister: "Nightwing has a ROCKING ASS!!!"


A VISUAL AID!

The Doctor sighed at his client's fascination with the butt of the former Robin...

Doctor Kraven Moorehead: "Come!"

He beckoned her to again follow him. She placed the toy in his hand and he wisely took it towards the counter for purchase.

Doctor Kraven Moorehead: "We have much to do, my dear. It is not every day one gets the rare opportunity to take down a famed superhero!"
