It couldn’t even last one day.

The Quinton School for Young Superheroes, which was reopened by the Muskrat yesterday, blew up on its first day of the new semester.  According to eyewitnesses in Carterson, Pop Man attacked the campus with explosive beach balls, one of his new explosive devices.  But the Muskrat, his staff, and his students were able to subdue Pop Man with relative ease.

Reached for comment, the Muskrat only replied with “No comment,” but did later confirm that all of the students and staff were safe.

Professor Stratosphere was the only staff member to comment on the attack.  “We should expect this each and every day, honestly,” he said through his filtered globe helmet.  “That’s why I’ve built these buildings out of nanites.  They’ll automatically rebuild themselves after being destroyed, so we should be back to normal in a few days.

“Well, what passes for ‘normal’ around here anyway.”

Pop Man was handed over to Britain’s MI-666 so he could be returned to Broadspire Prison outside of London, where he escaped from a month ago.
