"Be back in a moment," Cosmic Cataclysm Lass announced to her brother. 
"Powder Room Break."

She touched the doorknob.  The inconceivable force of three 
universe-destroying explosions threw her across the room, burying her 
two feet deep in the room's impervium armor plate wall.

"Interesting door knobs they have here," her brother, the Master of 
Cosmic Law Alteration announced. Cosmic Cataclysm Lass had several more 
pointed remarks as she pried her way out of the Lass-shaped dent in the 
wall.  "Of course," her brother announced, "if that door is stuck we 
could use you to knock a hole in the wall."

Cosmic Cataclysm Lass had several more pointed comments. "All I was 
going to do was switch to my new costume."

"No, that won't work," he announced.  "We can't use you. The armor in 
this wall is actually infinitely thick. And one inch thick at the same 
time.  That's very clever. By the way, did you read the sign by the door 
knob?"

"This universe needs instructions on its door knobs? Where do they find 
people that stupid?"  She knelt next to the door. "It says here that any 
effort to leave will be blocked by a  force three times as large as your 
power. But I barely touched...oh, your maximum power."

"Problem solved.  I shall transform momentarily to Zero Lord, the man 
with absolutely no powers at all." He leaned on the door knob. "Hmm.  
Minor problem.  With zero strength, I can't budge the knob."

"Power of infinite strength," she announced.

"And then I get thrown across the room at three times infinite force," 
he objected.

"And pull the door closed."

"Of course." The Master of Natural Law used his invincible power of 
natural law alteration to endow himself with infinite strength. He 
pulled on the door. There was a huge crash as he was ejected from the 
room, preceded by remnants of the door,  at 37 times the speed of light, 
only to be brought to a stop in six feet by the wall partition opposite.

"You were going a bit fast," a young lady standing by the doorway said.

Cosmic Cataclysm Lass took the available moment to step out of the room.

"Yes, oh, wait, just a moment. Let Time Stop! No, wrong line. Let Time 
Reverse, but only over there!" There was the indescribable flicker of 
negative light as a second person appeared from nowhere.  "Apologies," 
he said to the person.  "The door opened a bit quickly, and you had the 
misfortunate timing to be standing in front of it. Now you haven't died 
after all."

"Oh, I see. Don't worry.  Around here this happens all the time."

"We were coming to see the RACCies, because I so wanted to meet 
Starsmasher afterward," Cosmic Cataclysm Lass announced.  "But it seems 
that that was not to be."
