Lee and I went to see Mystery Men tonight. If you've been under a rock for the past three months, Mystery Men is about a group of quasi superheroeswho really have no right to be walking the streets, never mind fighting crime. He's in danger of losing his product endorsements if he doesn't find some good supervillans to fight. Problem is, all the supervillans have already been fought by, and put away by, Captain Amazing himself. All goes well until Amazing actually tries to fight Frankenstein, at which point he is easily captured and placed in a dungeon to be killed at midnight the next night.
Capital City is now without a superhero.
Actually, it's overrun with superheroes, just none of them are any good. So they audition for others to join them. They're given the names and numbers of superhero wannabes by Invisible Boy, who can only become invisible if nobody is looking at him. The auditions turn up nobody, but after they're done, a rather dour-looking young woman shows up with a bowling bag. They try to shoo her away, but she turns out to be the most powerful one in the group when she hurls a pink bowling ball at them, filled with the screaaming skull of her dead father.
