Akron Atomatapias was just a cover team for the Akron Atom Atapias Action League: The Burp, whose loud mouth noises could take down a building, The Pow, a fighting maniac, and The Splash, ball player by day, merman crime fighter by night. Odd that nobody ever guessed their secret identies ---

Yoko’s middle name is Gladys. She only uses it during family reunions, since half of the ladies in her family are named Yoko. Since her experience with the Beatles, the name Yoko has been adopted by an amazing 33% of Japanese, 25% of Russians, 18% of Chinese and almost no Americans. In the original ancient Japanese tongue of Hokikumagashogi, the name Yoko means “little intruder who breaks up the band”, and so it was ordained, and so it came to pass. ---
