COAST CITY, CA
DESTROYED
Coast City CA. -
In a shocking discovery yesterday by a WGBS camera crew,
Coast City California was completely destroyed. Home to more than 7
million people, an explosion has demolished the entire city and surrounding
areas. No survivors have been reported at this time.
Coast City had been the site of the recent arrival of an alien spaceship
which was seen hovering over the city. It is unknown at this time what
caused the destruction of Coast City. The President of the United States
has asked all of America to pray for the people of Coast City, especially
their families in their time of need.
What is known at this point is that Superman (the Cyborg Superman offically
endorsed by the President) has been at the remains of Coast City, along with
Superboy from Cadmus Research, for the past 24 hours. The WGBS
camera crew accompanying them has given the world a few pictures of the scene. Connection
with the camera crew was cut off; it is believed that they were
attacked by the Visored Superman. Superman has stated that the
|
Visored
Superman in conjunction
with the alien ship was responsible for the
destruction of Coast City.
Superman and Superboy have vowed to capture the rogue, and contain the
alien spaceship before anymore devastation could be caused. No
communication has been made to anyone inside Coast City, and satellites have
been unable to penetrate the cloud of smoke and dust.
Superman has asked the National Guard not to enter the disaster area until
he can make certain that the aliens have been captured and the Rogue
Superman brought to justice.
Green Lantern, resident hero of Coast City, could not be reached for
comment. It is unknown at this time if he was in Coast City at the time of
the explosion or not, or even if he survived. One has to wonder what kind
of mental anguish it would cause if the city you had sworn to protect was
destroyed right in front of your eyes.
Again, Coast City, California, has been destroyed...and more than 7 million
people are presumed dead.

"Druids" Raid Castle JLI
Elongated Man Quits
JLE security cameras captured these images and sound effects
of Ralph (Elongated Man)
and Sue Dibny being attacked by Druids
London - New details have emerged concerning the recent attack upon Castle JLI in London. Last week, a small, bizarrely-costumed army claiming to be druids raided the castle headquarters of Justice League International. These druids, garbed in ungulate skulls and large robes, wielded staffs capable of discharging heavy stun beams. The JLI team was taken by surprise and largely incapacitated, with the exception of Dr. Light (the heroine, not the villain). Dr. Light was able to find assistance from unnamed sources and strike back to liberate the castle.
British Parliament recently debated the wisdom of allowing a high-profile superteam to live in a priceless national treasure. Opponents cited the recent fires and numerous attacks, as well as in-team brawls and a missing suit of armor. Claims by JLI that the invaluable suit of armor walked off on its own were treated with scorn.
Team-member Ralph Dibny, known to the world as Elongated Man, has announced at the team's press conference that he is taking a prolonged leave of absence from the Justice League. He and his wife, Sue Dearbon Dibny, wish to return to globe-trotting, and Ralph has expressed a concern for Sue's safety. Ms. Dibny has been an honorary member of the Justice League since their operations moved to Detroit several years ago, and she has functioned as their representative since the JLI left the funding of the UN and Maxwell Lord.
Team leader Green Lantern was unavailable for comment, as he is allegedly in outer space on a planet known as Maltus. JLI member Flash (Wally West) said that it's too bad Green Lantern wasn't around, because he'd made a really good joke when the Dibnys left and hoped that he'd repeat it for reporters. Dr. Light (the heroine, not the villain) says that she will miss the Dibnys and wishes them well. Dibny assured the team and the public, including his many fans in France, that he wouldn't be gone for long. "It's not like I'm going to drop off the face of the planet!", he joked.
