002: [Video]

[Victor looks a little annoyed when he turns on his console tonight. Behind him, the view of his suite is blocked by some rock. A big, talking rock to be exact. Santo's right there behind him.]

Hey, everyone. I've got a question for everyone that's familiar with superheroes. It's about the costumes. They're an important thing to have, right? For a lot of reasons like protecting and hiding secret identities.

But this guy [He jerks a thumb over his shoulder at Santo.] just says they're stupid.

Don't get me wrong, the costumes are cool but that's about it. Wearing one just to hide your identity is what's stupid. You don't see Ms. Marvel, Iron Man, or Hawkeye worried about people knowing who they are. Hell, Luke Cage doesn't even wear a costume and he kicks all kinds of ass!

Besides, you don't see any X-Men hiding behind a mask.


[Victor just rolls his eyes.]

Lots of X-Men have worn masks. [He shakes his head.] So what do you guys think? Costumes important for superheroes or not?

The answer is obviously not.

[Victor doesn't even bother replying. He just gives Santo a look.]

Someone I know said it was pretty popular--maybe in your world they just think it's silly, though.

I'm trying to think of people that have capes right now, and the only ones that come to mind are bad guys.

Where I'm from, it's kind of equal opportunity on the cape thing.

...

Though, come to think of it, it tends to favor good guys a bit more than bad guys.

You must come from some kind of ridiculous cape-wearing superhero universe, then.

Well, considering how often the idiots in capes are on the news... I'm going to go with yeah. [lol]

Yeah, see, I'm from the universe where the heroes are badass and don't wear capes.

[mrsarcastic003]

Huh. Our most badass hero wears a cape.

[By which he means Batman.]

[zerotoawesome]

Oh yeah? And who would that be?

[What's a Batman? :P ]

Superman.

[Because Tim doesn't want to make it obvious that this is him.]
