LATEST SUPERS BATTLE TIES UP TRAFFIC AGAIN
In the Los Angeles Times:
By: Brock Leslie, KABCTV-LA and contributing reporter:
In an occurence becoming all too common in Los Angeles, yesterday saw yet another battle of super powered proportions on Pacific Coast Highway, just north of Malibu. In this latest altercation, a man clad in a bird suit (and identified only as BirdMan) swooped out of the sky and blasted a tractor trailer bound for Yakima, Washington with some sort of ray gun, forcing it from the road and into a ditch, where the truck overturned. This BirdMan then blasted a hole in the side of the truck, grabbed some of its cargo and placed it in a bag, and took off into the sky, apparently making good an escape.
At this point, however, a blue BMW pulled to the scene, out of which hopped a rather muscular man with sandy blond hair, who proceeded to shoot laser beams from his hands at the BirdMan, eventually bringing him down to the ground, where super-powered fisticuffs ensued. The two wrestled for BirdMan's ray gun, exchanged energy bolts, wrestled mano-a-mano, and generally enjoyed a boisterous fracas, until their momentum took them into the side of an ice cream truck, which they promptly took on a careening journey through stopped traffic. The truck impacted with an SUV, throwing both larger-than-life combatants back out into the street.
After several minutes of flying fists, beaks, lasers and bolts, which had nearby drivers diving for cover behind their stopped vehicles, the BirdMan was eventually overcome, and knocked unconscious by the unidentified hero. PTA officers arrived on the scene and took BirdMan into custody, while his subduer turned over both the loot and the ray gun to authorities, before giving this reporter an exclusive interview (albeit without giving a single answer like his name, powers, affiliation or motives). The only clue to the identity of this new super on the scene was his dashing demeanor, and spiff Austrio-German accent.
Notwithstanding the drudgery of another traffic delay on the PCH, Los Angeles will be on the lookout for this new parahuman's exploits.
