96. "Well I thought after Robotman's success from the 40s right through to the end of the Doom Patrol, that I'd specialise to make it even better.

98. So I kept making like, "May the light of goodness burn the evil out of your souls!", "Cower before my radiance!", "I call on the life-giving heat to warm your cold, cold bones!". I mean, Storm of the X-Men talks like that all the time. And White Witch of the Legion. And most magicians. But nooooo, the villains wouldn't act like proper villains and just stand there while I talk. They kept rushing me while I was talking!

103. Being The Mighty Plunger Man was not the only bad choice, Using Port-a-Potties as my change room and having the call sign of a drain only limited my rescue business. Septic Boy and I are now listed in the Yellow Pages next to Roto-Rooter.

116. "Well, it was the '90's and grim and deadly anti-hero vigilantes were everywhere. When I saw that my arch nemesis was going to be The Castrator, I just quit."
