0:00.0	Hey L, I've been thinking about those Marvel UK characters we talked about a few episodes
0:05.0	back. That line sure seems like it had some pretty out there stuff in it.
0:09.8	It was completely wild. Apart from Mothemouth and Killpower there was Dark Angel, who is this
0:16.2	techno magical hero who stored her power armor in an intradimensional void in her stomach.
0:21.2	There was Deathwreck who was a cyborg killing machine with a body made of junk in the

1:41.5	WHAT?!
1:49.0	I'm Miles Stokes.
1:55.4	And I'm Al Kennedy, filling in for J-Editing while he's on parental leave.
