Some of you may recall the start of this team--Burger Baron, and CON-tractor. I posted them in customs a while back. Well, finally...after several recruiting missions, the LoL has grown by two. the first new mwmber is Mesmero. Mesmero (or Ed to his buddies) is the chubby fellow with the super thick goggles. Ed always had terrible site, and decided to try laser eye surgery in an attempt to improve his eyesight, his appearance, and his self image. Unfortunately, something horrible went wrong....Ed's eye sight was worse than ever...only......something strange and mysterious had happened. Now, when Ed puts on his special glasses (goggles) and stares someone in the eye's (he has to stare..a glance wont do), he found he had the "super power" of hypnotism! People would become mesmerized looking into those fishbowls of his, and suddenly became open to suggestion. At first he tried to be a superhero, making a costume out of an old costume he had left over from when his Grandpa played the Ghost of Christmas Future in a play at the old folks home, he became Super ED! Sadly, his first attempt at thwarting crime went horribly wrong (Ed's luck sucks!). The criminal he attempted to arrest refused to look him in the eyes, and when he started calling Ed "Special Ed" instead of "Super Ed". Of course all the people in the bank thought that was quite funny and laughed and laughed. Ed snapped. Beat the would be bank robber senseless with one of those metal posts with the rope dividers on them, and ran off with the loot.
Ed was more than happy to meet up with the LoL, and eagerly joined their evil band.
the other new member is called Mastermind. He is in reality an alien insurance salesman named Bem from the planet Zerm. Bem's hobby was ham radios (well...the Zermian equivalent, which also receives images). One night he picked up what he thought was a distress call from a distant planet called Earth. The Zermian government refused to listen to Bem's plea to send help, so he "borrowed" a Zermian Starcraft, and headed to Earth. Unfamiliar with Earth customs, Bem set off all kinds of alarms and red alerts as he landed the craft on the lawn of the Hall of justice, where he was met by a cadre of super heroes. Bem explained the situation, only to be stunned and embarassed when he found out the distress signal was in reality an old tv broadcast. After being assured Gilligan, the Skipper, and the rest were merely tv characters, and in no danger whatsoever, Bem returned to Zerm.
Unfortunately, Bem didnt just borrow any Starcraft...He inadvertently stole a top secret model, armed to the teeth with powerful new weaponry. Bem was to be charged with high treason, and killed on site.
No fool, Bem turned tail with this ship and headed back to Earth. He had a pretty good mad on by the time he got back, and used the new weapons to destroy a tv studio, and knock out many of Earths communications satellites.
Using the cloak technology of the craft, Bem hid it and decided to drown his sorrows with a strawberry milkshake (strawberries react like alcohol in the Zermian system). As it so happened, the Burger Baron decided to knock over the very burger joint Bem entered. Bem, in a somewhat intoxicated state, readily agreed to join up with the LoL on the spot....a decision he now regrets, but a Zermians word is binding. Now, he's stuck with the goofballs in the LoL.
With the addition of Mastermind and his mega technology, the LoL went from being at the bottom of the most wanted list- (absolute bottom....right under the guy who steals dog droppings from the park) - to being a serious problem for the Earths super heroes!
