Hey, Al. So, I've been thinking about Santa Claus.

It's mid-fabbery miles, but you know, a bit late.

I mean, from another perspective, it's around March 1079 2020, so let's not sweat the small stuff.

Fair enough, I guess. So, sounds close.

Right. I mean, we know he's in the Marvel Universe, just like other public domain and mythological figures.

Like Dracula. Did he ever fight Dracula?

I don't think so, although I would totally read that.

Uh, no, Santa's track record is actually pretty mixed when it comes to interacting with villains.

That can't be right. He's Santa Claus, a friend to all children, just like Amara.

Well, it's not usually his fault.

It was only swindled into building an unstable nuclear reactor at the North Pole

because the American Society for the Prevention of Crookies animals forced him to stop using reindeer labor.

I hope he learns to be a little less trusting after that.

Well, I hate Dasha Hopes, you're not actually Christmas miles, but that is a no.

Later on, he got depressed by the state of the world and sold his whole operation to Hydra for a while.

Okay, but that's two times.

I refuse to let two mistakes solely my opinion of freaking Santa Claus.

Surely, Al, we can count on his moral certitude and humanistic bravery in these trying times.

Surely he's faced evil and triumph to save us all.

Wow, I mean, you know, Santa did emerge victorious more than once.

Embattled against the man who's perhaps his greatest nemesis.

The District Attorney for Miracle on 34th Street.
