I don’t think he’d qualify as famous - even by Northampton standards. Judging by his wikipedia page he’s a fringe county cricket player - I guess the US equivalent would be a someime AAA baseball player.

In the wake of the destruction, Batman and his allies join the frantic rescue efforts around the devastated city, which soon spirals into chaos.

Went to Pinky & the Brain hoping to go via Physics or something, but you take what you can get. I suspect one could cut a few links in the chain between Lady and Internet; also if photo captions are permitted, there’s a direct link from Internet to CERN.

ETA - in fact you can go Lady to IMDB to World Wide Web to CERN to Higgs boson; doubt there’s much shorter.
