(EXT, night, Central Park) RAZORBACK: (distressed, talking to self) Dummy, dummy, dummy! Why did you make such a fool out of yourself in front of Cap? Captain America for crying out loud! Oh, curse this oversized head! (Suddenly, the air crackles with the discharged energy of a powerful teleportation device. Out of the ether steps...Dr. Doom!) DR. DOOM: Bah! That fool Richards thought he could hold the power of Doom in his foolish Negative Zone prison! I have proven my superiority over Richards once again! And now I shall take my revenge! RAZORBACK: (thinking to self) Oh my gosh! It's Dr. Doom! Now's my chance to show my worth to Cap and the Avengers! With my super-driving powers, all I need is a truck with which to drive over Dr. Doom! Oh, why can't you ever find a truck in the middle of Central Park when you need one! DR. DOOM: (suddenly realizes he is not alone) What manner of foolish creature are you? Your appearance marks you as a buffoon not to be taken seriously! Doom commands you to be gone! (with a single nonchalant gesture of his mighty armored gauntlet, DOOM unleashes a massive blast of destructive energy at his porcine garbed opponent. RAZORBACK is vaporized in an instantaneous moment of supervillianous aggression. Without so much as a look over his shoulder, DOOM blasts off into the Manhattan night sky) THE END later that night…

(EXT, night, Central Park)

RAZORBACK: (distressed, talking to self) Dummy, dummy, dummy! Why did you make such a fool out of yourself in front of Cap? Captain America for crying out loud! Oh, curse this oversized head!

(Suddenly, the air crackles with the discharged energy of a powerful teleportation device. Out of the ether steps…Dr. Doom!)

DR. DOOM: Bah! That fool Richards thought he could hold the power of Doom in his foolish Negative Zone prison! I have proven my superiority over Richards once again! And now I shall take my revenge!

RAZORBACK: (thinking to self) Oh my gosh! It’s Dr. Doom! Now’s my chance to show my worth to Cap and the Avengers! With my super-driving powers, all I need is a truck with which to drive over Dr. Doom! Oh, why can’t you ever find a truck in the middle of Central Park when you need one!

DR. DOOM: (suddenly realizes he is not alone) What manner of foolish creature are you? Your appearance marks you as a buffoon not to be taken seriously! Doom commands you to be gone!

Oops! My bad. Scratch the whole "how does he get through the door" bit. Instead, it would play out like this: (INT., morning, Avengers Mansion) CAPTAIN AMERICA: (looking up from his morning cup o' joe, perplexed look upon face) Uh, may I help you? RAZORBACK: Yes! I'm here to apply for the opening in the Avengers roster! I'm short, powerful, can drive any vehicle AND can fire electro-shock thingies from this huge head of mine! CAP: Wow. That's, ah, that's...um...impressive. Sorry, I thought you were here for the Warthogs mascot tryouts (www.warthogs.com). Say, tell you what, if you have a card, I'll be happy to put you on our list should we have any, ah, openings. RAZORBACK: Sure! No problem! I have one right here in my back pocket! (tries to twist around to reach back pocket, large head knocking books off the mantle. A porcelain vase crashes to the ground.) Oops! Sorry about that...this head's a bit...large...(twists around again, knocking Cap's coffee off the table) Oh my, I'm so sorry...here, let me try...(large head bangs into several hanging pictures, smashing them to the ground) geez, I can replace those...I'm ... CAP: Not to worry...ah...tell ya what...we'll call you. Really. He’s a hero? Oops! My bad. Scratch the whole “how does he get through the door” bit. Instead, it would play out like this:

What the hell were they thinking? I'd love to know what this schmoe's powers are. How does this guy get ANY respect down the supervillian dive? How does he get through the door without other vicious underworld types peeing themselves laughing so hard? I would think that Victor Von Doom would take his first opportunity to kill him, just because he can. Not even a John Byrne drawing can save that costume from much deserved mockery.
