Here Comes Manifico, To Save The Day!

   "People of Tierra Firma. I am Manifico. I come from a faraway, distance Galaxy, that you call the Sombrero. In the constellation Virgo. I come here to be your planet's newest Superhero." Said a flying man, in a cape, above New York City.
   It was so loud, people went screaming inside the nearest buildings, Taxis, or subway. The masked superhero forgot to use his inside voice when announcing his presence to the world.   
   Cameramen left their equipment where they stood and reporters dropped their microphones.
   Manifico saw this, as the populace hid from him. He tried to assure the people of Earth of his sincerity.
   "Humans," crackled the words from Manifico. "Do not be afraid. I come to protect you from the many villains plaguing your world."
   But still the people of Earth fled from his presence.
   With his super hearing, Manifico detects a faint voice asking, "What are you talking about?"
   With agility and speed, that you only see in the swiftest birds of prey, Manifico swoops down next to the elderly woman who asked him the question and says, "I come here to protect you from the evil wrong doers of your planet."
   "Are you talking about corrupt politicians of the world, dictators, and shameless corporate leaders?" Asked the woman.
   "No," he announced. "I am talking about the likes of Catwoman, Mystique, Talia Al Ghul, and Harley Quinn."
   "I see you have an eye for the lady villains." She said plainly.
   "Well, I am Manifico. A great lover in the worlds I come from."
   The elderly woman looks at him bluntly, then says, "You know none of those characters are real? They are made-up comic book villains."
   "What is a comic book?" A confused looking Manifico asked.
   "They are small paper graphic novels. They are made-up caricatures from artists to sell magazines."
   "There is no Harley Quinn I can defeat, then romance with my charms?" An obviously dejected Manifico asks.
   "No. The only villains are plan old human beings." She says condescendingly. "Nobody with superpowers, super-eyesight, or flying ability. Just, good old fashion corruption in the hearts and minds of everyday men and women."
   Manifico thought about this. He needed to save face in front of the old woman. So he announces loudly, "Then I will fly to another planet in this galaxy where they need the help of Manifico!"
   With that, he looks to the skies, bends his knees like he was pushing up to jump, and in the air in front of the woman, he bolts through our atmosphere into outer-space, as if shot by a shotgun.
   The old woman spins in place so fast it looks as if a small tornado is brewing.
   Finished spinning, Wonder Woman appears and is now young and clothed in the normal regalia she wears on Paradise Island.
   "That's all I need." She says to no one in particular. "Another wannabe hero encroaching on my turf."

  This is,
