Ed reads a superhero comic book, dressed in a superhero costume. An alarm begins to blare.ED LEMBKE-HOGAN:Just when I thought it was gonna be a slow disaster month.A note labelled 'Urgent' drops from the ceiling.ED LEMBKE-HOGAN:Once again, the world is in grave danger. One of the vats at the famous Donnie Boon milkshake factory in Central Australia has ruptured, causing other nearby vats to burst, and sending a giant wave of strawberry milkshake straight down the highway. If the wave reaches the ocean, the entire underwater ecosystem will be in grave danger. Holy moly! This is serious!Alarm blares.ED LEMBKE-HOGAN:'Your task is to dispatch a superhero with enough super-units to stop the giant wave.' Wow, it sounds like I need a superhero with at least nine-out-of-ten super-units of speed, eight super-units of strength and ten-out-of-ten super-units of intelligence. Hmm. How about Mega Muscle Man? Mm. Fast and strong, but not super-smart. What about Atomic Angel? I love Atomic Angel! She's so smart and fast, but this job demands a little more strength. The Keyboard Kid?The graphs show the Keyboard Kid has adequate intelligence, but not enough strength or speed.ED LEMBKE-HOGAN:Mm. As the graphs revealed, I'm in a bit of a pickle. Neither Mega Muscle Man, Atomic Angel or the Keyboard Kid has enough super-units to successfully complete this mission. I'm gonna have to create a brand-new superhero. One with enough super-units to stop the giant wave and avert disaster. OK, I need the strength of Mega Muscle Man, the speed of Atomic Angel and the Keyboard Kid's intelligence.A new superhero is formed.ED LEMBKE-HOGAN:Oh, she's perfect! I think I'll call her Strawberry Milkshake Warrior Princess. Strawberry Milkshake Warrior Princess, the mission is an extremely important one. We're all counting on you. There's no time to waste.She heads off. The alarm blares again. Another note is dropped from the ceiling.ED LEMBKE-HOGAN:Thank goodness! She did it! 'Acting with great speed, exhibiting exceptional strength and exercising her formidable intelligence', she managed to reroute the highway and then dig an enormous hole in the ground, which is now the largest strawberry-flavoured inland sea.
