Sweetest Day is coming soon (and before anyone chimes in about
"made-up" holidays...
ALL holiday are made up.). And the
Leader has come up with the perfect strategy for finding a girlfriend--
make your own!!
Dr. Rikky Keegan has been tricked by the Leader into extracting the "
Gamma Factor" from
Bruce Banner, putatively in the name of curing him.
Here's a pro-tip for your first date with the Leader:
DON'T DRINK THE WATER!!!
Sorry, Rikky, the Leader has slipped you a
gamma-rufie!
Guys, try using this line on your ladies:
"The sight of your elongated forehead fires my emerald blood with desire!"
Let's not be sexist--ladies, try this on your men!!
It's all part of the Leader's master plan to put gamma into the New York City water supply, to create a civilization of gamma-powered minions to be his servants!
But remember--the Leader was a mere
janitor when gamma-exposure made him a super-intellect. So if you do the same to someone who was
already pretty damn smart?
The ingratitude!!
There's only one cure for that:
Yeah, he shot her in the back, but it
wasn't a bullet--it was the cure, to return her to normal.
I guess it really was love...
