> Frighters are surprised when Blackbird's powers recreate his body,
> reveals himself as one of the family of Wicked (cf Ben Rawluk's _Teens
> In Trenchcoats_ series) and proceeds to beat the crap out of them.
> Regrettably for the villains: they are stupid.  They make the mistake of
> confusing the fact that the heroes don't kill their opponents with the
> notion that they don't have the wherewithal to kill them, and thus even
> when captured they cannot help but taunt the heroes.  This sets off
> Smoke Ring Girl, who kills them and herself with her powers.

say, or so bad that you didn't dare?

best,

       then they seem improbable, and then, when we
       summon the will, they soon become inevitable.
