Mystery Men/Awesome

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • The Shoveler makes the act of not eating an egg-salad sandwich an act worthy of the gods themselves.
  • Also :-

Mr. Furious: Rage... taking over...
Casanova: Ya, ya, ya. We've heard all that before.
Mr. Furious: No, no, no... Rage... really taking over...

  • The Herkimer Battle Jitney. The only thing missing was Flaming Carrot himself, considering the Mystery Men were originally a two-part story in issues 16-17 of the Carrot's comic book. Worth the read if you can find 'em.
  • Yes, they got their asses handed to them by mooks shortly after, but after Raja and Shoveler make their entrance and defeat Big Red, we knew who to root for.
  • Invisible Boy realising that, while he is only invisible as long as nobody (not even Invisible Boy) is looking, that might just allow him to shut down the automated killing device above the door to the secret lair.
  • The entire final battle is an extended Crowning Moment of Awesome with full use of their "powers" to the greatest advantage.
