THE PRODIGY: This pale skin makes me NAUSEOUS. I wouldn't be an Earthling for all the brain-power on Intellectia. Heh, heh. THAT should do it. A few more hours and I should have the youth of this country well under control. And when Im in front of those television camera tonight, I'll hit that beardless, mindless mob with everything I've got...especially my magnetic monotone...Hey, heh, heh.*
FOOTNOTE: * Note: The Prodigy's voice took on its special magnetic powers when the rocket ship coming from his native planet, Intellectia, in the Andromeda galaxy, passed through the Earth's ionosphere. Because of weak deflector shields, his vocal chords were exposed to intense heat and radiation. On Earth, his voice draws people to him like a vacuum cleaner.
THE PRODIGY: My mind-binding has worked. They won't learn anything about anything, here. They can't think straight, and my lies will lead them into stupid mistakes. How I love the way I get them to swallow all the sludge I hand out. Imagine! They really think you can't get pregnant before you're fifteen, or the first time you have sex, or if you only do it once in a while!
NARRATIVE CAPTION: Now, Marvelites, check out whether YOU'VE heard any of this pernicious pap being peddled.
THE PRODIGY: They'll have babies right and left, from ignorance, just as I planned for my giant baby snatch. They're needed for child labor on Intellectia, so we superior ones can put our brain power to conquering other planets! My mission is almost complete...Soon our saucers will scoop thousands of babies off to Intellectia.
:lolSPIDER-MAN: My webbed head! Im no Marcus Welby, but there's gotta be some way these kids can get the RIGHT info. Good grief, I see it all now! This guy's plan is to keep kids from getting facts. They probably don't even know that getting pregnant at their age is risky for mothers AND babies. He WANTS them to be baby machines! Changing diapers, going nowhere in dead-end jobs...sitting home every night trying to find the time and money to go to a movie or buzz out to the burger stand. What kind of LIFE can they have? No chance to develop. They'll never catch on to his crazy scheme. They'll just be his puppets. What a crafty creep!
THE PRODIGY: And don't worry. Some folks might come down on you, but you can trust me. Believe me, you'll be safe and have everything you need and want...without a worry in the world (heh heh). Your babies won't be a burden...they'll be brought up by experts. After all, they're important. In fact, in just an hour, I'm going on nationwide television to tell young people about the glorious, carefree life they're welcome to share in my utopian retreats all over the country.
SPIDER-MAN: Galloping guacamole! This is bigger than I thought. That dastardly dude's got a national scheme in the works to rip off young people. I've got to do something...FAST!
NARRATIVE CAPTION: But as Spidey contemplates the Prodigy's words and their consequences on the world...not to mention the FCC...he seems oblivious to a network of guards encircling him like so many cans of RAID converging on a daddy longlegs...
