Character Name: Motomiya Daisuke
Series: Digimon Adventure 02
Character Age: 11
Canon: Some years ago, seven kids saw their summer camp vacation turn into a heroic journey through the Digital World, where they met their Digimon partners. The monster bonding returns for the second season of Digimon, as the kids figure out how to reach the Digital World through their personal computers. But when the original Chosen Children run into hangups with evolving their Digimon, it's up to a new generation to save the day, and still be back in time for curfew. Wielding the new ability to merge powers and later Digimon, the Chosen Children work to tame the Digimon Kaiser and discover the real threat to their Digimon friends.
Every Digimon season comes complete with the required goggle kid leader. This time around it's Daisuke, a spazzy goofball who spends his time working on his soccer game or pining over the girl of his dreams, when he's not kicking Digimon butt. Daisuke ends up with both the powers of courage and friendship for his Digimon, and eventually shows he truly deserves both. Though far from the sharpest tool in the shed and often a loudmouth, Daisuke gets by with sheer determination, crazy amounts of energy and the desire to believe in the good of everyone. Optimistic almost to a fault, Daisuke encourages teamwork and friendship, even when his teammates are a bit reluctant.
Note: V-mon (Veemon in the dub) is Daisuke's Digimon. They are almost always together.
Sample Post:
Whoa, V-mon! I think we totally just discovered a whole new side of the Digital World! And it looks like it could really use our help. Check out those Apemon, they're having one hell of a bad hair day. And that tree just KICKED one of them! What's his problem? Something's even got the Zombiemon down in the dumps, and I get the feeling it's not the swampy atmosphere. Even if this place smells worse than the time I forgot to take out the trash for a week.
Hey guys, what's with all the moaning and shuffling around? You look like you're going to pieces here. Seriously, if your heads get any lower, they're gonna fall right off, and then it's going to be even harder to talk about your problems. HEY, I can listen and stuff! I listen to people all the time, even when I have no idea what they're talking about. You're just overreacting. I mean, sure you're isolated from the rest of the Digital World and living in a muddy swamp that nobody's ever heard of and sure you look like something the Toucanmon would probably build a nest on, and, okay, your lake doesn't look like the world's greatest swimming pool; but hey, I bet there's still plenty of cool things about this place. Just check out your AWESOME VOLCANO! Completely free of swarming possessed fire Digimon. That's a bonus, right? Fun times always go up in smoke when they're around.
And even all this mud doesn't have to be a BAD thing. It could serve up one mean sludge fight! Well, for you guys who still have your arms. I wonder if evolution fixes that. We could always set up teams to make things more fair. By the way, if we do that, I want the guy who still has both his legs. You guys sure are the weirdest Digimon I've seen in a while. Actually, I've never heard of Zombiemon before, and my Digivice is sucking when it comes to info on you. It better not be BUSTED! Oh man, now I'll never hear the end of it.
Anyway, you're not going to be able to enjoy anything if you keep moping around like someone broke your Digivice. No wonder the Apemon keep picking on you. You have to PULL YOURSELVES TOGETHER! Start lending each other a hand instead of just taking one from your buddies. It's not like you're in this alone. Remember, as long as you have your friends behind you -- I guess on top of you works too -- BUT as long as they're there, you can do anything. Okay, so you can't play sports that require all your limbs. Hey, I can teach you soccer! We'll improvise on the goalie stuff. This guy's head looks hard enough to block the ball just by itself.
-- Wait, where are you going? What do you mean you need more brains? WHAT'S WRONG WITH MINE?

Character Name: Makoto Yutaka
Series: The Day of Revolution / Princess Princess
Character Age: 17ish
Canon: Kei Yoshikawa was never the manliest of boys in his high school. Nevertheless, it was still a shock for him to discover that he was in fact biologically female. Having decided that if he can't be a real man he'll have to be a real woman instead, Kei takes some time off school and returns the next year as Megumi Yoshikawa. Despite having decided to live as a woman, Megumi has a lot of trouble adjusting to her new life and the new expectations that people have of her as a woman. So, in order to help her learn how to be more feminine, her doctor requests the help of his niece- Makoto Yutaka.
Makoto takes her job as Megumi's friend, confidant and general life coach very seriously. Whether it's chastising her for using manly language or topping the entire school into being quiet about Megumi's history to a potential suitor, Makoto is there to make sure things go smoothly. She's superbly confident and always incredibly well-informed about things that might be of use to her. She can also be very possessive, to the extent of encouraging her brother into going out with Megumi so that Megumi is still effectively hers. When she's not topping people or supervising the distribution of Megumi photosets, she's a very insightful and loyal friend who is always willing to give helpful advice.

Now this is an interesting concept. It's not what I was expecting from a camp for people who want to learn to be more feminine, but I can see the advantages. Fear of men seeing up your skirt is a very common problem, so these trees here are just perfect. Feel comfortable enough in a skirt while even the trees are trying to lift it and you're guaranteed to feel comfortable anywhere. It's also excellent practice at slapping away those wandering arms, or branches in this case anyway. Constant vigilance is an unfortunate necessity these days. Moving on, these gorillas everywhere are also a true stroke of genius. Seeing a gorilla wearing a dress makes it obvious that you don't look like a gorilla in yours. There are only so many times you can tell someone they look good, so it's invaluable to give them something like this to compare it to. Very creative, I must admit I'm quite impressed!
I'm not just here to admire the scenery though. I'm looking for someone, and you're going to tell me where to find her. Otherwise that nice zombie girl you like might have to find out about the pictures you were taking of her the other day. Oh, don't bother to ask how I know about that, I have my ways. Since you went to so much effort to get those shots without her seeing it'd be an awful shame for her to find out, you know. And it'd be an even bigger shame if she found out where that finger she lost ended up. Oh don't worry, I won't judge you for it. We all have things we'd rather other people didn't know. And if you don't want other people to know about this then you'll help me out. Now, tell me where I can find Megumi Yoshikawa. I even have a photo in case the name doesn't ring a bell. Of course, you'll have to pay up if you want to keep it- this one's a rare one!
You haven't seen her? Hmmm... odd, I thought one of the purposes of this camp was to teach people to socialise with people they normally wouldn't even meet. Have you been being a shut-in? You really should participate fully if you want the best results. Anyway, spread the word that I'm looking for her and I'm sure she'll get the message. Since you've been so helpful I'll even throw in some advice! Be more assertive if you want to get your girl. Sneaking around so you can watch her is creepy, even for someone like you. Approach her properly and tell her your real feelings if you want a chance. Let's practice right now in fact: Pretend I'm her and tell me exactly what you'd say.
... right, you'd better start with a toned down version first. It might be different for zombies, but most girls respond better to something like "let's go out on a date". You can work up to the whole one true sparkly love forever and ever thing later... if you get that far. And whatever you do, leave out altogether the bit about greasing her windows.

Attending Ouran's rival academy, St. Lobelia, Benio is the leader of the all female White Lily Society: a musical theater club determined to foster womanly virtues of all kinds. Flower arrangement!

Character: Kiric
Series: Air Gear
Character Age: Appears to be in his early twenties.
Canon: Air Gear is the story of how Obama saves the world from destructive megalomaniacs by turning into a teenage girl! Well, actually, it’s the story of Ikki as he gets involved in gang wars on motorized rollerblades called AT. Ikki’s aims to become the Sky King, and thanks to a healthy ego, thinks he can manage it! But he must overcome powerful enemies who stand between him and the sky. Sleeping Forest is one such enemy. Legendary and enigmatic, they were once behind the AT world’s construction, but now stand as a fearsome team that protects the Sky Regalia (specialized AT) from everyone else.
This reputation is thanks to Kiric. Hermit-like and incredibly critical of everything and everyone, he was once very different: idealistic, caring, and in love with the sky. Now, he’s jaded thanks to heaps of betrayal, and he’s turned into a pessimistic individual driven to change and protect by any means necessary. His obsession, as a result, has made him rather formidable, not only to other ATers, but also his team. As an individual, Kiric comes off as condescending and demanding, believing that only his rigid rule can help the world. Even with his occasionally destructive ideas, he believes he’s doing the right thing. Still, it’s clear Kiric’s head isn’t always in the right place, with his breaking down the world into a points system and adding and subtracting points for ridiculous reasons (loyalty and nice shoes earn additional points). His belief in himself and his system is so strong that he has appointed himself as the apostle of the AT world, sent to give judgment and be its savior. And sure, you might care about your salvation, but by time he’s done loftily speaking, you’re probably more interested in kicking your sweaty shoe onto his head.
Sample Post:
Given the extensive network among the toucans, zombies, and gorillas here, I have quickly learned of the myriad flaws within this place. I’m not satisfied, to say the least, and I find that I must declare one thing to the whole of Camp Fuck You Die-and to its Director, Elizabeth Sayre. We will be going to war, and soon, this place will be under my domain. And undoubtedly, you, as the Director of this camp, must have the means of learning about everyone losing their mind through the grapevine. It is unacceptable to put every camper, counselor, and creature through such a miserable treatment. No more will I allow this. Even if war itself is good for absolutely nothing, you have brought yourself down negative to nine-thousand-and-one-points, and deserve no more opportunities to hold on to your captives. I have no doubt, with this negative capacity, that your future failings against me will be evident.
To everyone else, you must understand it is not freedom that you seek. After four years of captivity, it would be unsafe to simply let you run free. You would benefit from stricter rules … without the humiliating consequences Elizabeth Sayre thrust upon you. Although you will still be restricted from intimacy with others, you’ll no longer turn into small animals. Every attempted act of intimacy will lose you fifteen points. Completing the act will lose you an additional twenty-five. Do not risk the wrath of my hand, as I take no issue in making you immobile and incapable of such acts! And do keep note that there will be additional rules and reinstated ones. The alcohol rule will be back in place, as controlled inhibitions are a necessary factor. Along with that, I will enforce same-sex cabins. A camp without inhibitions is a camp tempted by too much.
You must realize, I am not a tyrant like Elizabeth Sayre before me. I am an apostle, here to turn this camp into a promised land for every captured camper and counselor. This is only the best solution! With a loss of fighting-the only blows will be delivered by my hand to those deserving-and a loss of blood fertilizing the ground, camp will be a haven for peace. My developed Camp Purification Association will transform the disheveled nuclear wasteland of Camp Fuck You Die into the glorious sleeping forest called Camp Eden. Eden will allow you to adjust to the peaceful, rigid lifestyle I set out for you. Though you may think it is not free, I will abide by everyone’s desires. There will be guidebooks and frequent lectures to strengthen this transition. Under my rule, life will be easy and full of points, much unlike the puerile dictations of your former leader.
So heed me, citizens of this wretched camp, and follow me into the age of Camp Eden! Every bird, every camper, every sex-craved goat, follow me as we take down the tyrant, Elizabeth Sayre! And you, Elizabeth Sayre, must understand the power of the apostle, and how it shall bring a new sanctity to these lands. Fear myself and my legion. After four years of isolation from the world, we are mighty.

Character: X-23/Laura Kinney/Laura X/Talon
Series: Marvel Universe (specifically: NYX, X-23, Target X, New X-Men, X-Force)
Character Age: 16ish
Canon: Wolverine, one of Marvel Comics's most lucrative characters, is three hundred pounds of killing machine. X-23 is half his weight and most of his genes. An exact genetic clone of Wolverine, with the notable exception of being female, X-23 was bred and trained to track, kill, spy, and be the perfect weapon. She has been a private assassin for the Kingpin, worked with terrorist groups, and been a member of both the X-men and New X-Men. Currently she is a member of the black-ops team, X-Force, who do all the behind-the-scenes dirty work for the X-Men.
X-23 was a character who tried to learn to be human in New X-Men. She went from being stoic and taciturn to. . . still being stoic and taciturn, but made attempts at understanding human social interactions and emotions. However, once she joined X-Force she has changed a little. She presents herself as detached to the point of not rescuing a captured teammate because "rescuing her was not my mission." While typically a girl of few words and someone who wouldn't threaten to cut your ear off -- she'd just do it -- X-23 can also speak at length on subjects she has knowledge of, such as international torture procedures and flawless assassinations.
Sample Post:
I entered the camp at 0400 hours. After two hours of silence, movement began. A Caucasian male, approximately 165.5 centimeters tall, was accosted by a goat. There was a brief dispute over the appropriate time for breakfast to begin. The goat used percussive persuasion, and the male was violated. I did not interfere, because disputes over meals are not within my mission parameters.
Investigation showed that the terrain of the camp is varied. Despite the large areas of swampland, a volcano is also present. No geological testing has been performed. There is no consistency to the vegetation in the area. Preliminary observation revealed a tree that produced undergarments. These are also unnecessary.
Attempts to gain knowledge from the indigenous peoples has resulted in failure. An encounter with an undead individual yielded no information. I questioned him, and then when he was uncooperative removed his fingers from his hand, joint by joint, beginning with the distal phalanges and moving down to the metacarpals. The only word he spoke was 'brains', an inaccuracy, as I was working with his hands. Interrogation was useless, however, confirmation from an anonymous source reveals that the Director does in fact exist and that she is still in power. Further information on The Director is needed to complete my mission.
The woman Elizabeth Sayre allegedly holds several land-masses at her mercy. It is my task to confirm this and retrieve them. This includes the countries of Russia, China, Japan, Canada, France, as well as the theoretical micronation of Sealand. There is no clear reason for this relocation. While no ransom note has been delivered yet, it seems likely that Elizabeth Sayre is making her bid for world domination.
Protocol states that when dealing with kidnapping, the kidnappers should be dealt with swiftly and without mercy. There is no protocol for dealing with the removing and relocation of land-masses. I will improvise.

Character: Mary Batson aka Mary Marvel
Series: DC Comics
Age: 16
Canon: Gather 'round, children. It's story time! Once upon a time, there was an orphan named Billy Batson. Now, Billy was bestowed with amazing abilities - the power of Shazam! This gave him a new body: one much bigger, stronger, and more adult-like with which to fight crime whenever he spoke the magic word. One day, Billy found out that he had a little sister named Mary. She, too, gains the ability to say "SHAZAM!" and transform herself.
Depowered, Mary Batson is an excruciatingly sweet, naive, trusting 16 year old girl, more suited for a 1950s sitcom than as a hiney-kicking superheroine. But as soon as she says "SHAZAM!"... the only thing that changes is her power and physical appearance, which grows up about ten years (and a few bosom sizes). The result is sweet-as-apple-pie, uncorrupted Mary Marvel, whose favorite TV show is Little House on the Prairie and whose favorite movie is Pollyanna. She wants everyone to do the right thing and be polite to one another (and preferably not check out her bust), because after all, those midwest virtues just can't be beat!
Note: I'm taking Mary from pre-Countdown.

Ooh, yikes bikes! Look at that sign! Someone was not being very careful when they spelled out that acronym. I don't think that it should be "C FUD". Clearly the "C" stands for "Camp", which is very exciting, by the way. I've never been to a summer camp before! I just can't wait to sing camp songs and roast marshmallows and tell ghost stories. We're just going to have to so much fun, aren't we Mr. Grraakk? Oh, gosh, I'm so glad you agree! Okay, anyway. The "C" is for "Camp" but the rest of the letters should spell "FUN", right? Because that's what we're going to have here. Lots of good, old fashioned "F" "U" "N". Oh, no thank you! That does not stand for "feeling ur ni... nip..." Oh that is just too inappropriate! Let's move on to some good, wholesome fun. Does anyone know any camp songs? Well, I'll get us started. This is a church hymn that one of my co-workers taught me! He informed me that it was a very popular hymn to sing around campfires! Repeat after me:
I made it through the wilderness/Somehow I made it through/Didn't know how lost I was/Until I found you~ Oooh! Isn't that like our situation now? We, too, are lost in the woods, well, except not really lost but more like put here for a good reason! And that reason is fun and bonding and singing and storytelling. Does anyone have any marshmallows? S'mores would be just the perfect addition to this campfire! Oh, but you know, I feel so terrible that the poor lake creature is out there on her own. Maybe she's feeling lost, and she'd like to find us! HELLO~! LOVELY LAKE CREATURE, WOULD YOU LIKE TO JOIN US? Oooh, look at her wave those tentacles. She's so enthusiastic! And her reach is so long, she can get to us even from there! Okay, we only sang through the first verse, but let's skip to the refrain of the hymn, while our long-armed companion joins in!
Like a virgin/ touched for the very first ti--, yes, hello there lake creature, but I am trying to teach them words. Thank you. Like a vir~ir~ir~irgin when your heart beats/close to--

One has merely to follow my lead and this production of "Romette and Juliet" will be the best the world has seen since my appearance in "The Fairest Lady of Them All"! Come now, groaning like that is not going to change my mind. If you insist upon vocalizing your complaints, at least have the decency to do so in tune! ON TWO! One! TW--...not having two remaining fingers left to count with is no excuse to not follow along, you ingrates! No Juliet; shoddy costume work: ah, the things one must put up with in these backwater troupes are simply appalling.
Perhaps there may be something yet salvageable from this flaming dung heap. You! Male commoner! No, I do not care if your previous role was 'camper', you have been recast! Commence digging operations in that heap of dung! You did not think I was speaking figuratively, did you? Now is not the time for figures, it is time to use your natural pig-like instincts and find the hidden truffle of beauty amongst the muck! I have heard tales that beneath this mound lies a lake. And as anyone knows, in the depths of a lake may be found a lady! She shall be my Juliet! Ah, if my ears have heard correctly her name was Marcy, was it not? Dear Marcy! You shall be my Juliet!! MARCY~! FAIR MARCY~! For a woman of your reported ah, talents, I shall even deign to rename your character! For a rose by any other name does smell as . . . sweet . . .
...
Yes, well. We will just use a bit more make-up and a spritz of perfume, shall we? PLACES EVERYONE~! This will be a simply tentacular performance!

Character: Kiric
Series: Air Gear
Character Age: Appears to be in his early twenties.
Canon: Air Gear is the story of how Obama saves the world from destructive megalomaniacs by turning into a teenage girl! Well, actually, it’s the story of Ikki as he gets involved in gang wars on motorized rollerblades called AT. Ikki’s aims to become the Sky King, and thanks to a healthy ego, thinks he can manage it! But he must overcome powerful enemies who stand between him and the sky. Sleeping Forest is one such enemy. Legendary and enigmatic, they were once behind the AT world’s construction, but now stand as a fearsome team that protects the Sky Regalia (specialized AT) from everyone else.
This reputation is thanks to Kiric. Hermit-like and incredibly critical of everything and everyone, he was once very different: idealistic, caring, and in love with the sky. Now, he’s jaded thanks to heaps of betrayal, and he’s turned into a pessimistic individual driven to change and protect by any means necessary. His obsession, as a result, has made him rather formidable, not only to other ATers, but also his team. As an individual, Kiric comes off as condescending and demanding, believing that only his rigid rule can help the world. Even with his occasionally destructive ideas, he believes he’s doing the right thing. Still, it’s clear Kiric’s head isn’t always in the right place, with his breaking down the world into a points system and adding and subtracting points for ridiculous reasons (loyalty and nice shoes earn additional points). His belief in himself and his system is so strong that he has appointed himself as the apostle of the AT world, sent to give judgment and be its savior. And sure, you might care about your salvation, but by time he’s done loftily speaking, you’re probably more interested in kicking your sweaty shoe onto his head.

Given the extensive network among the toucans, zombies, and gorillas here, I have quickly learned of the myriad flaws within this place. I’m not satisfied, to say the least, and I find that I must declare one thing to the whole of Camp Fuck You Die-and to its Director, Elizabeth Sayre. We will be going to war, and soon, this place will be under my domain. And undoubtedly, you, as the Director of this camp, must have the means of learning about everyone losing their mind through the grapevine. It is unacceptable to put every camper, counselor, and creature through such a miserable treatment. No more will I allow this. Even if war itself is good for absolutely nothing, you have brought yourself down negative to nine-thousand-and-one-points, and deserve no more opportunities to hold on to your captives. I have no doubt, with this negative capacity, that your future failings against me will be evident.
To everyone else, you must understand it is not freedom that you seek. After four years of captivity, it would be unsafe to simply let you run free. You would benefit from stricter rules … without the humiliating consequences Elizabeth Sayre thrust upon you. Although you will still be restricted from intimacy with others, you’ll no longer turn into small animals. Every attempted act of intimacy will lose you fifteen points. Completing the act will lose you an additional twenty-five. Do not risk the wrath of my hand, as I take no issue in making you immobile and incapable of such acts! And do keep note that there will be additional rules and reinstated ones. The alcohol rule will be back in place, as controlled inhibitions are a necessary factor. Along with that, I will enforce same-sex cabins. A camp without inhibitions is a camp tempted by too much.
You must realize, I am not a tyrant like Elizabeth Sayre before me. I am an apostle, here to turn this camp into a promised land for every captured camper and counselor. This is only the best solution! With a loss of fighting-the only blows will be delivered by my hand to those deserving-and a loss of blood fertilizing the ground, camp will be a haven for peace. My developed Camp Purification Association will transform the disheveled nuclear wasteland of Camp Fuck You Die into the glorious sleeping forest called Camp Eden. Eden will allow you to adjust to the peaceful, rigid lifestyle I set out for you. Though you may think it is not free, I will abide by everyone’s desires. There will be guidebooks and frequent lectures to strengthen this transition. Under my rule, life will be easy and full of points, much unlike the puerile dictations of your former leader.
So heed me, citizens of this wretched camp, and follow me into the age of Camp Eden! Every bird, every camper, every sex-craved goat, follow me as we take down the tyrant, Elizabeth Sayre! And you, Elizabeth Sayre, must understand the power of the apostle, and how it shall bring a new sanctity to these lands. Fear myself and my legion. After four years of isolation from the world, we are mighty.

Character: X-23/Laura Kinney/Laura X/Talon
Series: Marvel Universe (specifically: NYX, X-23, Target X, New X-Men, X-Force)
Character Age: 16ish
Canon: Wolverine, one of Marvel Comics's most lucrative characters, is three hundred pounds of killing machine. X-23 is half his weight and most of his genes. An exact genetic clone of Wolverine, with the notable exception of being female, X-23 was bred and trained to track, kill, spy, and be the perfect weapon. She has been a private assassin for the Kingpin, worked with terrorist groups, and been a member of both the X-men and New X-Men. Currently she is a member of the black-ops team, X-Force, who do all the behind-the-scenes dirty work for the X-Men.
X-23 was a character who tried to learn to be human in New X-Men. She went from being stoic and taciturn to. . . still being stoic and taciturn, but made attempts at understanding human social interactions and emotions. However, once she joined X-Force she has changed a little. She presents herself as detached to the point of not rescuing a captured teammate because "rescuing her was not my mission." While typically a girl of few words and someone who wouldn't threaten to cut your ear off -- she'd just do it -- X-23 can also speak at length on subjects she has knowledge of, such as international torture procedures and flawless assassinations.

I entered the camp at 0400 hours. After two hours of silence, movement began. A Caucasian male, approximately 165.5 centimeters tall, was accosted by a goat. There was a brief dispute over the appropriate time for breakfast to begin. The goat used percussive persuasion, and the male was violated. I did not interfere, because disputes over meals are not within my mission parameters.
Investigation showed that the terrain of the camp is varied. Despite the large areas of swampland, a volcano is also present. No geological testing has been performed. There is no consistency to the vegetation in the area. Preliminary observation revealed a tree that produced undergarments. These are also unnecessary.
Attempts to gain knowledge from the indigenous peoples has resulted in failure. An encounter with an undead individual yielded no information. I questioned him, and then when he was uncooperative removed his fingers from his hand, joint by joint, beginning with the distal phalanges and moving down to the metacarpals. The only word he spoke was 'brains', an inaccuracy, as I was working with his hands. Interrogation was useless, however, confirmation from an anonymous source reveals that the Director does in fact exist and that she is still in power. Further information on The Director is needed to complete my mission.
The woman Elizabeth Sayre allegedly holds several land-masses at her mercy. It is my task to confirm this and retrieve them. This includes the countries of Russia, China, Japan, Canada, France, as well as the theoretical micronation of Sealand. There is no clear reason for this relocation. While no ransom note has been delivered yet, it seems likely that Elizabeth Sayre is making her bid for world domination.
Protocol states that when dealing with kidnapping, the kidnappers should be dealt with swiftly and without mercy. There is no protocol for dealing with the removing and relocation of land-masses. I will improvise.

Character: Mary Batson aka Mary Marvel
Series: DC Comics
Age: 16
Canon: Gather 'round, children. It's story time! Once upon a time, there was an orphan named Billy Batson. Now, Billy was bestowed with amazing abilities - the power of Shazam! This gave him a new body: one much bigger, stronger, and more adult-like with which to fight crime whenever he spoke the magic word. One day, Billy found out that he had a little sister named Mary. She, too, gains the ability to say "SHAZAM!" and transform herself.
Depowered, Mary Batson is an excruciatingly sweet, naive, trusting 16 year old girl, more suited for a 1950s sitcom than as a hiney-kicking superheroine. But as soon as she says "SHAZAM!"... the only thing that changes is her power and physical appearance, which grows up about ten years (and a few bosom sizes). The result is sweet-as-apple-pie, uncorrupted Mary Marvel, whose favorite TV show is Little House on the Prairie and whose favorite movie is Pollyanna. She wants everyone to do the right thing and be polite to one another (and preferably not check out her bust), because after all, those midwest virtues just can't be beat!
Note: I'm taking Mary from pre-Countdown.

Ooh, yikes bikes! Look at that sign! Someone was not being very careful when they spelled out that acronym. I don't think that it should be "C FUD". Clearly the "C" stands for "Camp", which is very exciting, by the way. I've never been to a summer camp before! I just can't wait to sing camp songs and roast marshmallows and tell ghost stories. We're just going to have to so much fun, aren't we Mr. Grraakk? Oh, gosh, I'm so glad you agree! Okay, anyway. The "C" is for "Camp" but the rest of the letters should spell "FUN", right? Because that's what we're going to have here. Lots of good, old fashioned "F" "U" "N". Oh, no thank you! That does not stand for "feeling ur ni... nip..." Oh that is just too inappropriate! Let's move on to some good, wholesome fun. Does anyone know any camp songs? Well, I'll get us started. This is a church hymn that one of my co-workers taught me! He informed me that it was a very popular hymn to sing around campfires! Repeat after me:
I made it through the wilderness/Somehow I made it through/Didn't know how lost I was/Until I found you~ Oooh! Isn't that like our situation now? We, too, are lost in the woods, well, except not really lost but more like put here for a good reason! And that reason is fun and bonding and singing and storytelling. Does anyone have any marshmallows? S'mores would be just the perfect addition to this campfire! Oh, but you know, I feel so terrible that the poor lake creature is out there on her own. Maybe she's feeling lost, and she'd like to find us! HELLO~! LOVELY LAKE CREATURE, WOULD YOU LIKE TO JOIN US? Oooh, look at her wave those tentacles. She's so enthusiastic! And her reach is so long, she can get to us even from there! Okay, we only sang through the first verse, but let's skip to the refrain of the hymn, while our long-armed companion joins in!
Like a virgin/ touched for the very first ti--, yes, hello there lake creature, but I am trying to teach them words. Thank you. Like a vir~ir~ir~irgin when your heart beats/close to--
Oh my mercy! That is not my heartbeat!
