Talk:The Mighty Mutanimals (2021 Series)/@comment-1958304-20180329204603/@comment-1958304-20180330022413

1. Maybe a Vietnamese superhero with water manipulation powers named Floodgate, a Canadian superhero with force field generation powers named Barrier, a French superhero with telepathy named Mindreader, and a Brazillian superhero with metal manipulation powers named Steeltoe. What do you think?

2. It is done.

Raph: (looking over to Casey while still holding his sai towards Jesse) Who the heck's Jesse Kapollos?

Jesse: That'd be me. (looks towards Casey) Hey, Casey. Long time no see.

(Casey stutters, and then rushes over to Jesse. He hugs him tightly, while Raph looks on in confusion.)

Casey: Dude! We all thought you were dead!

Jesse: It’d take more than a propane explosion to kill me, Jonesy.

(Raph crosses his arms and joins the Mutanimals. He clears his throat and Casey looks back at him.)

Raph: Casey, could you mind telling me WHO THIS GUY IS AND HOW YOU KNOW HIM?!

Casey: Raph, Jesse was my childhood best friend. I met him back when I was a kid growing up in Lower Manhattan. We used to play hockey all the time.

Jesse: Yeah, that’s good and all, but can I get out of this chair now?

(Sir Malachi walks over to him and begins untying the jump rope while putting the scepter up against the chair. After he finishes, his scepter gets snagged on Jesse’s mask.)

Jesse: Hey, sparrow guy! Your stick thingy is snagged on my mask!

Sir Malachi: Whoops! Sorry about that, Mr. Kapollos. Let me get it off.

(As Sir Malachi pulls the scepter away, he accidentally rips off Jesse’s mask. Jesse cries out and covers his face.)

Sir Malachi: Oh, dear.

(Casey goes over to his old friend looking concerned.)

Casey: Jesse, what’s wrong?

Jesse: Did you really think I made it out of that fire without permanent damage, Case?

Casey: Come on, Jess. It can’t be that bad, right?

(Jesse turns towards Casey and removes his gloved hands from his face, revealing burn marks all over his face. Casey jumps back frightened while Mondo inspects him.)

Mondo: Geez, dude. What happened to your face? Did you faceplant into a waffle iron?

(Casey glares at Mondo, who immediately shuts up. Sir Malachi approaches Jesse with his mask, where he rips it out of the sparrow’s hand and puts it back on.)

Jesse: No. It was the Purple Dragons who did this to me.

(We transition to a flashback of Jesse and Casey as kids as Jesse narrates.)

Jesse: (V.O.) My family and I grew up financially challenged in one of the many decrepit neighborhoods of lower Manhattan. Whatever money they had, they used it to make me and my brother’s childhoods somewhat tolerable. I dreamt that as soon as I got older, I could become a world-famous hockey player and bring my family out of the gutter. But how could I have possibly known that my father had been paying the Purple Dragons protection money so he could keep his business afloat? One day, my dad took me and my brother out to a New York Yankees game on the exact day he was supposed to pay the Purple Dragons their monthly fee.

Mondo: So what happened?

Jesse: (V.O.) They sent their newest recruit to teach my dad a lesson, and his name was…HUN. After he snuck in late one night, he poured a bottle of lighter fluid all over the apartment and struck a match.

(We see the fire spread throughout the apartment and the smoke detectors beeping like crazy. As Jesse and his family wake up, they smell smoke and enter the main living area to see Hun jump out the window.)

Jesse: (V.O.) Hun fled the scene and in a desperate attempt to put the fire out, my dad accidentally hit a propane tank which exploded. My family died almost instantly, but I was blown out of the apartment and landed in an alleyway. I survived, but the explosion had scarred my face and the impact of the landing broke my collar bone and one of my ribs. By the time the fire department had arrived, I had vanished and let the world believe I had died.

(Cut back to present day as Jesse finishes up his story.)

Jesse: Ever since that night, I’ve trained myself in numerous fighting styles and crafted my own weapons to fight the Purple Dragons. And I’ve personally made a vow never to rest until Hun pays for killing my family.

(The Mutanimals, Raph and Casey look at Jesse, shocked. Leatherhead approaches him calmly and puts his hand on Jesse’s shoulder.)

Leatherhead: What the Purple Dragons did to you can never be forgiven or forgotten, but I would advise that you stop seeking revenge. Revenge can destroy friendships and harm innocent people. It can make you obsessed to the point where it cuts you off from the people you care about the most.

(Jesse brushes off Leatherhead’s hand and points at him.)

Jesse: Hold it, croc. Unless you’ve been me and seen the things I’ve seen, you have no right to tell me what I should and shouldn’t do. Hun ruined my life and killed my family, so I’m gonna do the exact same thing and ruin his schemes so that he can’t profit off of terrorizing innocent people! And when the moment is right, I will kick him off his throne and show him the exact same mercy he showed my family that night!

(Leatherhead is struck silent and rejoins the Mutanimals. Jesse looks towards Raph and Casey.)

Raph: You know, we could use another vigilante on our nightly outings. What do you think, Casey?

(Casey looks toward Jesse and smiles; he understands Raph’s idea and is all for it.)

Casey: Heck yeah, Raph! Just think: Raphael, Casey Jones and Jesse Kapollos – the three musketeers of New York City!

(Raph smiles as he hands Jesse’s bat back to him. Jesse takes the bat and puts it in his golf bag.)

Raph: So how about it, Jesse? You want in?

Jesse: (smirking) When do we start?

Raph: Right now!

(Raph, Casey and Jesse all bump their foreheads against each other.)

All Three: Yeah…

(As they make their way out of the warehouse, Leatherhead sees Monkey Brains with a look of dawning horror on his face.)

Leatherhead: Doctor, what’s wrong?

Monkey Brains: I’ve just realized something, Leatherhead. With Jesse now a part of their crime-fighting troop, it seems that New York now has... THREE Raphaels!

(As we see Raph, Casey and Jesse jump across the rooftops, they freeze in mid-air as the scene transforms into a comic shot. End episode.)

What do you think?

P.S. Believe it or not, the ethnic superhero team in my ''Freakazoid! ''reboot was actually inspired by this fictional group of superheroes.
