I stood panting for breath as I watched the battered remains of the robot fall to the ground with the creaking sound of metal on metal. Sparks and the occasional flame shot from the hole where its head had been. What even was that thing I thought to myself as I tried to catch my breath.
It had been a 12 foot tall, black, metal, skeletal android holding a flamethrower and an oversized MP 40 Schmeisser. I picked up its metal head, welded onto it was an oversized World War II German helmet with a spike sticking out of the top. The robot had swastikas painted on its chest and armband like swastikas painted to its arms. I had just been attacked by a giant Nazi robot.
It had been. Now it was a flaming pile of scrap metal.
The question had been raised before, was my great grand father a super villain. He was clearly an evil villainous man, but was he a Super. Showing up at the site of what had allegedly been his evil lair back in the 1930s and immediately getting attacked by freakish Nazis super science experiments reaffirmed that he was involved in some really messed up stuff. Sort of like someone's grandmother dying peacefully in her sleep, her family opening her dresser drawer the next day only to find it full of dildos and black leather bondage gear...
A thought entered my head. When I was a kid and grandma gave me those homecooked cookies, was she really smiling because she was wearing a butt plug.
It's just not a mental image that anyone wants.
Okay, my mother was the minor villain and anti-hero Tickled Pink for a few years back in the 1970s before giving the mantle up to become a full time mother. It didn't prove that my great grand father was also a villain or that I was some how really his clone, my mother being artificially inseminated Rosemary's Baby Style as part of some sick plot to bring him back from the dead.
I was lost in thought when I felt Wonder Amazon's truth lasso coil around me. With a tug of the rope I was yanked off my feet."Dr.Cocktopus. Back from the dead. I should have known. Tell me what your fiendish plans are?" She smiled.
"I'm not Dr.Cocktopus." I protested.
