Don’t intrude on **furryman’s** dust, for he can instantly change Faulkner novels into humans, just by adding one letter! This power of his has proven to be nearly useful.

Ladies, you’ll never need to fear Greek super-villain **Protesilaus;** although he controls an enormous Pythian army, he has a weakness – Trojan condoms thrown at his feet will kill him.

**TVeblen** has the strength of will found only in the most elite: she can resist bribes of Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups! Her supreme intellect is legendary.

**Alphagene** can command instantly anyone named “Gene!” His bite can irrevocably destroy any pit-dweller’s fragile ego.

You’ve heard of 007 and 006; now that there is a new agent in Her Majestys’ Secret Service, **darian00** , you’ll never think again of OO - who? What was I talking about?

**darian00** is an agent with an awesome ability to foil his foes with the flick of one finger, accomplished while drinking his signature cocktail, the singapore sling (shaken, not stirred).
