An unofficial fan webcomic by Page Branson wherein [[Stephen Colbert]], [[The Daily Show|Jon Stewart]], and many other 'fake news' corespondents [[Superpower Lottery|receive superpowers]], receive a magical [[MacGuffin]], or just happened to have had superpowers all along and they've just come in handy today, because today's the day that Dick Cheney reveals himself as an [[Evil Overlord|Evil Alien Overlord]] bent on destroying our planet, stealing Stephen's magical [[MacGuffin]], and drinking the blood of pandas. Our heroes fight their way through monsters, possessed comrades, [[Evil Twin]]s and mountains of tropes on various [[Fetch Quest]]s and rescue missions. |
