Her brother was justice. One of the nation's premier superheroes, who died in the Super's War of 1997. He left behind a daughter, Lady Liberty, who has been serving alongside the Staten Island Ferry in the Freedom Fighters, an important superhero team in our time. I did not even know that I had an aunt. To ensure the Top Nutshtangler's cooperation, the Staten Island Ferry has brought hostages. Kim's husband, Carl Darling. Where are we? Adam Carson, aka the Cosmic Comet. Oh, thanks kindly for thinking of me as a worthy hostage. And the other members of the Freedom Fighters, Dawn of Justice and Midwest Marvel. Oh, how'd he do? I don't like this one bit. The hostages are being held captive by Staten Island Ferry's long hidden mole within the Tiptown Police Department, Christine Smith.
