The children were playing with the action figures Rudy had collected over the years and with the Barbies that had been bought for the daycare. After about ten minutes, the children were bored and wanted to do something else, so Rudy told them that if they behaved they could play with HIS favorite toy, HIS Nintendo 64. The children promised that they would be little angels. After the Barbies and action figures had been put away, the children started playing Nintendo (Rudy did not allow them to play the violent games even though they begged). As he looked on, the children played Mario Kart and one of them pulled back on the controller (as if that would keep his character from crashing). The game started falling to the floor and not wanting anything to happen to his favorite toy (because his wife would not allow him to buy another if it broke), Rudy ran to catch it, but tripped on the containers of action figures and Barbies. As he fell, he brought the Nintendo and the games down with him. When he opend his eyes, he saw the children laughing at him as he lay there on the floor with games, action figures, and Barbies all around him. His wife ran into the room with a look of concern in her eyes. "What happened?" she said, looking at the mess on the floor which included her loving husband.
"I tripped." answered Rudy and out of nowhere she started laughing.
"Thank God," she said, "I thought maybe one of the children had gotten hurt," and with that she went (laughing) to the room. After picking himself and the mess up, he set up the nintendo for the children again, but this time, he thought that he noticed that Mario would wink at him, but he dismissed it to the fall he had had earlier.
Later that night, Mario came to Rudy in his dreams. "Rudy," Mario said, "I have come to let you know, that you know have special powers, which you must use for good."
"I do," said Rudy.
"You do," said Mario.
"What are they," said Rudy.
"Well when you tripped earlier in the day the nintendo hit you on the head, thus giving you the power to become any character in the nintendo games you own and also any figures you own," said Mario.
"Whoa," said Rudy.
"Also," continued Mario, "any games and/or figures you buy, those characters will be added to your powers. You will also posses the powers of those characters and figures."
"O.K.," said Rudy, "So I have the power to become any character in the games I own and the figures I have and to use their powers."
"Right," said Mario.
"What about characters from my comic book collection," said Rudy.
"Sadly, no," responded Mario, "If you would have tripped over your comic book collection, then yes, but you didn't."
"Bummer," said Rudy.
"One final thing," said Mario, "when you use your powers, you will shrink to the size of the character you become and you will have no control over which one you will become."
"WHAT!" exclaimed Rudy.
"Sorry, but I must leave now," said Mario, "and remember use your power for good."
"Wait," said Rudy and with that he woke up. "What a weird dream," thought Rudy, "Man I need to go to the bathroom." As he got up he stepped on something. He bent over to pick it up and to his surprise it was a little red hat with an white M on it. "Well" thought Rudy, "My mission is clear, I will see if that universally famous group known as the LEGION of MESSAGE BOARD POSTERS will accept me as a member, so that I can fight evil and injustice by their side, but first, I need to go to the bathroom." And the rest is history.
POWERS: Kid Therod has the power become any character in either the video games or action figures he owns. He is able to use any powers that they have. When using this power, he shrinks to they size of that character. Unfortunately, he cannot control which character he becomes.
