The Great American Red, White, and Blue Superhero . . . CAPTAIN MAILBOX!
Episode Two
Captain Mailbox sighed as he sank into a cozy chair at his neighborhood coffee shop and sipped his raspberry steamer. Every delicious sip reminded him how lucky he was to take the advice of a sweet and funny little red-headed boy who recommended a raspberry steamer over a cup of coffee.
It was nice to have a break from chasing and apprehending the bad guys of the world. “If everyone started their morning with a raspberry steamer and a cozy chair, the world would be a happier place,” Captain Mailbox thought.
A sudden commotion at the cash register drew Captain Mailbox’s attention. What was this? A man dressed all in black with a huge white disposable coffee cup on his head was shrieking at the employees. “I WANT YOUR BEANS! ALL OF THEM! THIS IS A BEAN STICK UP!”
Captain Mailbox shook his head at the would-be thief as he slowly placed his steamer on the table. Most thieves didn’t think clearly and this one had only cut out holes in his coffee cup disguise for his eyes, not his mouth. Unfortunately, the employees couldn’t understand a word the man had shouted. Only Captain Mailbox with his ultraspendidsuperhearing did. Captain Mailbox stood up and slowly walked towards the coffee-cup-headed man as the employees desperately tried to figure out what the man wanted to drink.
As the Bean Thief angrily spun around shouting “THIS IS A BEAN STICK UP!”, Captain Mailbox opened his mail slot and shot one heavy-duty cement letter right into the Bean Thief’s stomach. He fell to ground without another word.
With another evil-doer dealt with, Captain Mailbox returned to his cozy chair, his raspberry steamer, and his thoughts about a better world.

Ms. McLean and Liam's Superhero!! Episode #1
The Great American Red, White, and Blue Superhero . . . CAPTAIN MAILBOX!
Episode One
"Watch out for the sun mail, you sick twisted Mr. No Postage!" Captain Mailbox opened his letter slot and sun mail shot towards Mr. No Postage who ran screaming with all his might. Which wasn't much. How far can one evildoer go without a stamp? Our Great American Red, White, and Blue Superhero smiled as he stamped out the glowing embers that were once his nemesis.

Sal attacks episode #3
Little did Sponge Man know just what no good Sal was up to. Early that morning he cleverly made his way through a back entrance and hid in a closet waiting for the food to put put on display. The Great Wall is a popular place and he knew he could make many people very ill in very short order.
As the workers brought the food out, Sal waited until they went back in the kitchen before he sprang into action. While they were away he would run out and run his slimy hands through the delicious looking deep fried shrimp, run his tongue along oysters and the clams and rush back to his closet each time he heard the kitchen door open. This continued for some time before they had all the food out ready for consumption.
Very soon the line started to form for the lunch time crowd. Little did they know what was waiting for them. The bacteria had been fermenting for several hours and was ready to make people very sick. At 11:00 the doors opened and the patrons quickly started to fill their plates... stay tuned!

Mr. Jahn's Superhero - Intro
My super-hero is Mr K. He's famous for his kitchen stories, and thus nicknamed Mr K. This guy, like me, is just pathetic in the kitchen. Mr K. botches even the simplest tasks. One day he was asked to cook a frozen pizza in the oven and he locks the oven door, just like he locks the dishwasher. Little did he realize that on an oven this lever is actually the oven-cleaning mode, and he nuked the pizza beyond recognition. The next time he went to cook a pizza in the oven he pre-heated it to 425, stuffed in the pizza, and proceeded to set the timer for 20 minutes. However, little did he realize that the 'Timer' and 'Pre-heat' button are right next to each other and he accidently turned the oven OFF and the pizza was barely warm when the timer went off 20 minutes later. Many more Mr K. stories to follow. Wait until you hear about his campsite cooking stories.

Sal Monilla pays a visit
As Sponge Man left his house he could feel the presence of Sal Monilla. It was a feeling in his gut that told him he was close by and up to no good... but where?? Where will he strike? Sponge Man just wasn't certain. He hopped in his car (the Sponge-mobile... more later about the Sponge-mobile) and drove downtown. He knew Sal would most likely attack a restaurant. But, which one? Where? When? Sponge Man had many questions. He thought to himself... if I were Sal, where would I strike? He started to break it down... he most likely will try to affect as many people as possible. He would also attack where there is easy access. Ha!! It has to be a buffet. And a large one. A popular one. He began to narrow it down. As he drove by "The Great Wall", the feeling in his gut grew stronger! He knew Sal was close by. He crossed 2 lanes of traffic in rush and hopped the curb into the Great Wall parking lot. Sponge Man was in a hurry. Cursing motorists did not understand why. But, Sponge Man knew. And he knew time was of the essence. Stay tuned...
3/16/2008 "The continuing adventures of Sponge Man episode 1"
As Sponge Man lay awake in his soap dish one morning, he wondered what the day would bring. Would he help some poor innocent child from picking something up off a dirty floor and putting it in his/her mouth? Would he be called to visit a local restaurant and wipe the kitchen clean while giving a workshop on the merits of "cleanliness in the workplace"? He couldn't wait to begin the day.
Not wanting to waste anymore time he hopped down from his soap dish and right into the sink making one fast whirl around and scrubbing away any germs that may have developed over the night. Or course, Sponge Man always has the cleanest sink in the world. What else would you expect?
He turned the water on, bathed himself in antibacterial soap, wrung himself out and hopped in the microwave setting it for 3 minutes making sure to kill any bacteria on himself. He hopped out and did a couple of back flips and danced toward the front door when he saw a menacing sign in the sky. It was the clear vision that only Sponge Man can see and he didn't like it either. It was the sign of his greatest nemesis; Sal Monilla. He knew his day had changed. The battle had just begun. Stay tuned...

Nickel's Superhero
Able to leap small, very small, toys in a single hop, able to stop a speeding child, ready to fight runny noses, I am Crutch Man. Masquerading as a mild mannered, teacher with decaying bones, Crutch Man, is able to use his superpowers to call his crutches to his side with a single fall and will suit up in a cast or walking boot (instead of tights) whenever the MRI says so. On his crutches he can defeat any villain in a game of hop-scotch or race through a children's toy obstacle course. As Crutch Man I am able to turn off lights from a distance of five feet, close doors, or even kill spiders on the ceiling without a chair. When you need him he is there, or will be soon, or at least at some point, or as quickly as his crutches will allow.
3/14 Update
