1. 2005 - fascist Britain! Teenager Dylan Reynolds just wants to make it as an MC on the mean streets of London - but when he's almost stabbed for his phone he finds that he's a mutant, with the power to make the city's smog and dirt obey his every whim! His pirate radio broadcasts on the wrong side of the law but none of his Crew know that Dylan is really the reluctant hero known as...GRIME.

q: is Britain fascist because the Germans won WW2? Because if that's the case, I think the slim odds of hip hop even existing diminish your purportations of credibility.

Oh that was just an in-joke based on Englehart's notorious (over here, anyway) "1987 - fascist Britain!" caption when he introduced a patois-chatting rasta heroine in Millennium.

HA!
I thought it was a V for V joke, as mine was.

2. "Good lord, Clark, this 'internet' 'spam' is certainly topical!"

"Yes it certainly is Lois but LOOK OUT for it has taken humanoid form and is draining my super-energy! Like some form of VAMPIRE!! Made of INTERNET SPAM!!"

"Yes! And soon I the SPAM-PYRE and my 'computers' will take over Metropolis! Time for you Superman to join up with a 13-year-old computer whizzkid, if this is being written by Louise Simonson, or a bluetooth-wielding punk grrrrl on DMT if it's being written by Warren Ellis."

3. Mild-mannered scientist / NOW member Betsy Flagg stumbles upon a dimensional portal during a pro-life rally at the Nation's Capital and finds herself thrust into a backwards parallel world ... where the Industrial Revolution never took hold, where the avarice and sloth of men reigned supreme, and where women could not VOTE or SMOKE IN PUBLIC or even show A LITTLE LEG! Armed with knowledge of the world from which she came, a domino mask, a burning corset, and an endless supply of moxie (and Moxie), Besty Flagg sets herself upon the path of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness for all womenkind in this brave new world. She is ... THE SUFFRAGETTE! (Created By Chuck Dixon & Jim Balent!)

4. "BEWARE, Hawkman ... the WRATH of MOLT!"

(Like Molt needs an origin or backstory.)

Ugh -- of all the ways to break my ILC moratorium, it's to mention 5c0++ L0bd311's wank.

5: The time is now, the place is the General Synod of the Church Of England. Bishop Xavier is talking in concerned tones to other members about a new generation of beleivers, one seeming gifted with powers from God to help mankind. Keen to help these chosen ones master their miraculous power he proposed setting up a School quite near Bath.

However little does he know that a puritanical streak is rushing through the modern Chrurch of England, leaving Xavier and his pupils as outcasts. So Xavier retires with his pupils to their secret seminary - only to occasionally venture out to save humanity who hate them. I give you THE UNHOLY A-MEN.
