But what other comic will you jump to?
One of your favorites is
Silent Sal, the comic book about teenagers. But there are no mad scientists there. Well, you could try
Super-Doer.
But you'd better make up your mind fast. Ballistic Bug is zooming straight at you.
He's going to flatten you!
Hey! You've got it. There's another comic book that you like. It's about a supergroup of mutants, Y's Guys. Their leader is a superscientist! That's the same thing as a mad scientist, right?
Ballistic Bug's fist is about a foot from your nose.
Keeping the Y's Guys in mind, you tell, "Guest shot!"
Just before his fist connects with your jaw, Ballistic Bug fades out.
Whew!
You start to fade in on another scene. But before you can make out any details --
"Look out!" a voice yells.
You glance up. A huge hammer is hurtling toward your head.
You throw up your hands. But you know that won't stop the falling hammer. You're dead!
Your skin suddenly starts to tingle. Sparks fly around your hair. Then a lightning bolt flies from your head. It smashes the hammer to bits!
Your jaw drops. You stare at the pieces of the wrecked hammer. "No way! This can't be happening!" you blurt out.
While you blink in disbelief, the wreckage fades away. You're in a bare, gleaming room with a grid on the walls.
You've seen this place before! It's the Peril Parlor, where Y's Guys practice their powers against holograms.
And that means. . .
You glance down at yourself. Sure enough, you're in the pink-and-blue uniform of Y's Guys. And with that lightning bolt on your chest, you'd have to be. . .
"Yo, RAY-ge," another pink-and-blue hero calls to you. "Professor Y wants to see us."
Professor Y! That's the scientist you want to see!
You recognize the other hero. It's Stinky Stanley, the mutant whose horrible breath is his weapon.
"The professor is waiting," Stinky Stanley calls.
Professor Yves Yaboum is also known as Profesor Y. He's a powerful mutant, the leader of Y's Guys. . . and a famous scientist.
You follow Stinky Stanley to join the rest of Y's Guys. Then a flying chai enters the room. Seated in it is Professor Y!
He's hard to miss -- after all, he's covered completely in bright red hair. In fact, he looks like an ape, except for those serious, wise eyes.
"Y's Guys!" he exclaims in a deep voice. "My mental powers have detected a disturbance in the great flow of being. Somehow, aliens from beyond this universe have invaded."
You gulp. Could Professor Y be talking about you?
You hope not. Especially when you hear what else he's got to say.
"We must destroy these invaders immediately!"
To ask Professor Y more about these aliens, turn to PAGE 17.
To try to talk the professor out of his planned battle, turn to PAGE 63.{Spoiler}Looked forward a bit, and bad flip here since both of these will kill you.
