----------------------
(continued from part three...)

Rad infiltrates Ridiculous Class Wrestling with the help of Manny, Glum
and Max Vax, and learns that FlatPhoot is plotting to cause the second-
rate heroes and villains that populate it to kill each other.  Rad is
forced by FlatPhoot to battle the Electric Warrior while Badass holds his
friends hostage.  But, with Max Vax's help, they escape.  In the final,
climactic fight scene, Rad has a vision of his past on Planet California.
The Electric Warrior is badly damaged, and Rad is thrown into a huge tv
screen, which explodes.  The explosion and the vision, combined with
a random, natural incidence of Quantum Absurdity, send Rad into the tv
dimension.

A new hero, the Gallant Swashbuckler (not related to the Golden Swashbuckler),
appears on the scene, fighting off Anglo-Saxons and "fat chicks" (the author's
words, not mine). He gets into contact with ace reporter Ned Flanagan, who
writes about him.

The Grim Hunter learns of the threat of Da Big Daddy and King Rat, and
learns of an arms deal going down between an arms dealer and the Hungry
Heafers.  He realizes he must go stop the Heafers, a mission that may
lead to him meeting up with and fighting the Gallant Swashbuckler.

Rad lurches about in the tv dimension with Pan, aka the Narrator, the pan-
dimensional entity that narrates Rad's episodes.  They visit Gilligan's
Island, Twin Peaks, the old Star Trek, the Simpsons, and the new Star
Trek before Faith and Healer are able to bring him back to the Earth
dimension.

The Annihilator and Ramrod finally meet.  After exchanging stories, sort
of, they are attacks by three cyborgs, among them being Beowulf.  Two
are killed by Jake, one by Ramrod.  Soon after, they go their separate
ways on separate quests.

Leviam00se tells Merelith Creed, the mother, that he cannot directly
intervene in upcoming occurances.  He does issue a reminder, however, to
the fragment of the Seed awakening in Ramrod.  Avery Creed turns on the
other Creeds, revealing himself to be the Destroyer, and killing Alycia
Creed.  The Bavarians, needing Hitler's brain to illuminize the
eschation (the other four were already collected - substitutes were found
for the brains of Andy Awesome and Qwyntor, which were not taken).  Gus
buys Ramrod a Geo Storm, and he and Batsman go out to an airfield and
board Gengras' airship.  Wilson's Storage, the next link in the chain to
Cyrebrax, goes up in smoke.  Jacqueline Montgomery is captured by
Cyrebrax.  Leviathan speaks to a leader of the Bavarian Illuminati.

By way of revenge, the remaining members of SNUCCI send the Robert
Smiths to Chalandra Harkenss.  She endures much whining, claims that they
have learned the secret of eternal happiness, and visions.

Burt Ward inflicts poetry on the readers.

Sam and Bert, violent maverick cops, investigate the murder of Lucky
Louie McScum and defuse a hostage situation, driving their Captain
silly.  Meanwhile, Mr. Destruction becomes Professor Destruction by
starting to teach a course on conquest at South City College in
ThatRatherLargeCityOverThereOpolis.  GenericMan also becomes interested
in these events, as Axe-Man escapes from where he is held, and the
Shriners continue to battle with the Deadheads from Planet X.

A murder occurs, and Parker Dent asks Inspector Snopz if Politically-
Correct Man was involved.  Meanwhile, John harasses his passed-out
roommate Bubba, and a speed reader of Das Kapital gets a paper cut.

Rad, Manny, Glum and Max Vax contend with the Nun on the Road, whom
Dr. Sleaze is maneuvering into destroying the bottling plant of Rival
Cola Co, thus pouring the Rival Cola into the southern California
water supply, creating a catalyst to trigger the Mind-Altering Chemicals
previously marketed through Choke Cola.  Rad defeats this most heinous
plot, and the Nun on the Road drives off in pursuit of Dr. Sleaze.
Meanwhile, Willard Scott and Eric Idle visit the royal family, and
Princess Diana turns out to be Rad's real, biological mother.  Despite
clumsy attempts, the alien trio of Slithis, Benjen and Jerriphrrt fail
to abduct Glum.  Welsian Lo of the Imperial Missing Persons Bureau
(formerly the Electric Warrrior) succeeds, though, and escapes Earth,
followed by Slithis, Benjen, Jerriphrrt and Rad.  Rad fails to get
Glum back, though, and is sent back to Earth via matter transport beam.

The Annihilator is plagued by sleep and feeling, something he is
normally devoid of.  While on the Net, he finds a file left in his own
system by Beowulf, just before Jake killed him, giving him the path
direct to Cyrebrax.

Rescue Rangers Franchise #14 investigates the case of the missing
freshman, who hadn't returned from a subliminal messages experiment.
The investigation is, apparantly, still ongoing.

Burt Ward becomes Wrad, he of the awesome sunburn.  After being kicked
by a mean woman and assisting in a dire plot, along with breifly taking
the identities of Burt Hawthorne, the Annoyilator; Wramwrod; the Errant
Swashbuckler; and AintHe Awesome, Burt is thrown in jail for being a
moron.

Ramrod and Batsman aid Gengras in fighting off Adso's air attack on the
way to Iverness, Scotland.  They crash land on an icecap, underneath of
which lays Leviathan.  The box containing Hitler's brain sinks to
Leviathan, and thus reaches the hands of the Bavarians.  Meanwhile, the
fragment within Ramrod awakens, and Ramrod's and it's consciousness'
merge.  Hitler's brain prepares to join the others.

The Winaprize crew visits a lingerie shop, and finally decides to beam
back up.

The Punk with a Gun, after having accidently destroyed the Stealth Beetle
and finding the Gun no longer works, sets out to find a Space Shriner.
Meanwhile, Bulletproof, believing the Punk to be a hero known as the Gun
Avenger, seeks him out.  Fu Manchu and Cousin Wally plot.

The Crimson Blob, or Amoeba, whatever, finally finds Eldron the Avenger,
and plot to take on Vinnie the Villainous virus.  Stay tuned next year
for the continuation.

Galactic tensions increase as delegates gather on Hottentot to hammer out
a peace proposal and attend Glum's marriage to the Prince Barry Manilow.
Richard Nixon, the Shadow Figure behind the Ottsamaddawidu Emperor
Ianonuthink, plots with G. Gordon Liddy and Herb Villachez to keep war
profits going, and to milk money from the aliens from Dimension Bland,
the ones who made ManMan the incarnation of mediocrity on Earth.  Dana
Wader, wife of the "late" Dark Wader, Empress of the Muuuahahahah Empire,
plots galactic destruction, stealing Paranoia from Earth as part of her
plan.  She uses Paranoia, who is taken over by Gorgax, who escaped from
the soul crystal, to drive Pyrene and Shadzak, the leaders of the
Heyustarddedit Federation, into attacking the Ottsamaddawidu Emperor
Ianonuthink, claiming an alliance with the Dalans.  Nixon replies by
revealing Dark Wader is still alive, secretly mindcontrolled by his
"bodyguard," Badass.  William and Thelma, the Dalan delegates, join
forces with Glum and Galaxy Hunter and GLADYS in finding out what is
going on.  Glum and Galaxy Hunter confront Nixon, but are captured when
Slithis, Benjen and Jerriphrrt, having had a change of heart, screw
things up while trying to help.  Meanwhile, the galaxy lurches
inexolerably towards war.  Dana Wader and Gorgax/Paranoia form an
alliance of convenience.

Dominic, having regained his high-jinx powers, returns to Hartford.
Figuremaster and Miche also rejoin Andy Awesome and T.  Just as this
happy event occurs, the Awesome Force is attacked by a giant SPAM
creature that kills Andy Awesome and Miche.  Five years later, in
Alternate 1995, they must contend with a hostile government and Dr.
Toon.  Silly Wizzard joins the team, while Dan loses his Figuremaster
powers, but dons super-armor and becomes Amazing Ginsu.  They revive Andy
Awesome, and are returned to the present, sans She-Devil, who is stuck
in alternate 1995 as public enemy #1.  They defeat the SPAM creature
and dump it in the ocean.  Soon after, a wierdness magnet activates on
high-jinx, who goes out on a solo.  The Awesome Force lineup stabilizes
with: T, Bink, Miche, Amazing Ginsu, Silly Wizzard, Rat, and Andy
Awesome, with Gus as their computer.  Dr. Toon also makes it back to
the present time.

Erik Winters witnesses a battle between shapeshifters, one a "shifter",
the other a "Kalton."  Meanwhile, alien beings have Chris Bergman transform
into the Yeti.  No word on the outcome of this match.

The Awesome Force battles Dr. Toon, and his plan to open up the barriers
between the Earth dimension and the tv dimension.  They almost succeed,
and cause Dr. Toon to dissapear, but Maggie Simpson, lost in DisneyWorld,
causes much furor as the barriers between tv shows and other tv shows
and the real world, melt, causing chaos.  Finally, Maggie is located,
and taken back to her show, and the chaos disappears, with one exception:
Ray Sterling, a minor character from Robotech, and some Invid are stuck
in the Earth dimension.  Their protoculture emenations and a scientific
theory involving poetic justice explains how they can stay in the Earth
dimension without causing chaos, even though the Invid start building
a Hive in Michigan. The Invid determine that slurpees are a source of
protoculture in the Superguy dimension, and raid a 7-11.  Ray Sterling
successfully defends the 7-11, and both he and the Invid drop out of the
news for a while.

The Awesome Force fends off challenges from Chuckie the doll and the
Felonious Four (Water Boy, Cementhead, Windbreaker and Dirt Man) before
taking on their biggest challenge to date: SNUCCI's plan to create an
undefeatable army of slime villains, using spam, the Damn Thing, and the
battery from the giant Energizer Bunny.  Thanks to the defection of the
Ill Dudes to the heroes' side, the Force wins, although Silly Wizzard is
trapped in the Silly Dimension in the process.  With help from Dr. Toon,
who was trapped in the Silly Dimension in the tv dimension battle,
Wizzard escapes, taking Toon with him.

In Dark City, Ratman and Mr. Filthy take on Trashman.  Mr. Filthy is
captured, but Ratman escapes.

Thanks to the tofu trance, Rad organizes a Californian chia pet armada
and storms Hottentot, where the machinations of Gorgax, Dana Wader,
Richard Nixon and Dark Wader have already created chaos.  The galaxy
breaks out into civil war, but Rad and the others convince the assembled
galactic leaders to end it.  Badass switches sides, becoming an ally of
Rad during the fight.  Princess Diana reveals to Rad that she is his
biological mother, and Rad marries Glum.  After a large party, everyone
heads to their respective home planets.  GLADYS goes to Earth with Rad,
Glum and Manny.  Dark Wader forsakes a life of evil and becomes a
Deadhead, moving to Planet X.  Dana Wader, Paranoia, Richard Nixon, G. Gordon
Liddy, Herb Villachez, and Gorgax (trapped in the body of one of the
Robert Smiths, the other one having returned to Earth and rejoined the
Cure) are imprisoned on Planet New Jersey, although Dana uses a concealed
dimensional door opener to transport everyone except Gorgax to Earth.
And so, Elvis' plan to strengthen the galaxy against the invasion of
Satan T. Lucifer Jones of Sfstory is successful, although Satanic ships
invaded later anyway.

The Devastator, charged by members of his race with conquering Earth,
assembles a group of supervillains, collectively known as HAVOC (Electra,
Lunkhead, Fireball, IceCube, Basher) to further that aim.  Repeated HAVOC
attacks spur the creation of a new hero team: the Vigilante Force (the
Arachnid, Flyby, Blazer, Sir Kenton, Scarlet Blade).  The outcome of
the conflict is unrecorded, although Flyby and Blazer are still wanted
by galactic authorities, due to Devastator's machinations, and the
Arachnid is wanted by the CIA.

Burt Ward is released into the custody of the woman of his dreams:
Chalandra Harkness.  He passes out, and is carried back to Adam West
by Chalandra.  Meanwhile, the Winaprize crew beams back up to their ship,
after accomplishing an enviable deed involving the transporter and the french-
cut bikinis of nubile female Californian beachgoers, and set out for Barbados,
Planet of Physical Delights.

Sam and Bert continue to search for clues, and, upon finding one,
musically wonder what they should do with it.  Professor Destruction
moves into his office and begins his class: "Conquest: Theory and
Practice."  Meanwhile, Ace Reporter, better known as Genericman, reports
as ThatRatherLargeCityOverThereOpolis changes its name to Bob.

high-jinx and Annabel Lee travel to Washington D.C, to face the threat
posed by Millie, the White House dog who is possessed by an ancient
spirit, and his agent the Scarlet Shrubbery (Barbara Bush, under the
curse of the dead elderly people of Planet Geritol, who have charged her
with avenging their deaths at the hands of the Upstart Youths from a
neighboring planet).  Annabel Lee turns out to be an Agent of Mill, but
high-jinx finds a true ally in Kim Stone, and defeats the Shrubbery with
her help.  George Bush shoots Millie, putting an end to that bizarre
threat.  high-jinx and Kim promise to travel to Geritol to avenge the
elders, thus lifting the curse from Barbara Bush.  John Sununu
infiltrates SNUCCI.

After defeating special smurf-toons accidentally created by Dr. Toon, the
Awesome Force throws a Christmas party for heroes and villains alike, and
Toxic Shocker and Bloo Balls of the Ill Dudes celebrate their fourth
wedding anniversary.

In Amgoth, King Rat supplies the Hungry Heafers with guns, and the Grim
Hunter and Alice prepare to stop it.  No word on what happened.

In Washington D.C, two threats to the security of the world emerge:
George Bush in the tv dimension and the rise of 70's nostalgia.  The
Awesome Force is forced to follow George Bush into the tv dimension after
he gets lost inside.  In the meantime, Rad, having traveled to Washington
to get his marriage to Glum legalized on Earth, contends with 70's
retreads such as the Bee Gees and Jimmy Carter, all part of FlatPhoot's
latest world domination attempt.  Rad is called in to help the Awesome
Force, and they retrieve Bush, but not before he learns he has the powers
of Surplus Man.  After destroying Dr. Lightbuzz's tv dimension machine,
the Awesome Force helps Rad, along with Faith and Healer, defeat the 70's
menace and capture Flatphoot.

The Winaprize crew transports Slithis, Benjen and Jerriphrrt to the
Sage's station, where they learn that Barbados exists in the Sfstory
altiverse.  The Winaprize crew elect to find a different path to Barbados
while Jerriphrrt and co. join the Renegade Anarchists.

The members of Walking Disaster Area return from the Betty Ford clinic to
investigate the possibility that a "media consultant" may be responsible
for the brainwashings and bad videos on MTV.  Case unresolved.

Green confronts Edward Butler, who stole an interdimensional transporter
from Nathan Young of the Super Sneaky Agency (SSA).  Max Vax, after
putting down a bank robbery, fails to stop three super villains (Hecate,
Eugene and Rockman) from looting a museum.  These villains raid the SSA
lab for a powerful object, and only Hecate escapes, damaged, with her
prize.  Max Vax prevents Green from killing Edward, but Green
successfully recovers the transporter.  Soon after, Max Vax takes on an
apprentice, MicroVax (Tom McCavish), and together they go to the SSA
base for some answers.

The Legion of Stuperheroes (Maximillion, SuperiorMan, AverageMan, Robopop
and WaWaWoman) confront the League of Doom (Dr. Doom-wannabe, Redundant
Man, Syntax Error, Elvis Parsley) and foil their evil "Cop Rock" scheme.
In an alternate world, the League wins, but is defeated by Superguy.
Soon afterwards, Ronald Reagan is transformed by Dr. Bob into Reaganbo,
and Conan the Librarian engages him in battle.  The Legion steps in, and
Robopop appears to kill Conan.  Meanwhile, Multiple Issues Man is plagued
by Dr. Whom.

Superm00se's surviving children rejoin him as energy.  Meanwhile, The
Button is installed in the control panel at NORAD by Rocco and Spock, and
Superm00se author John Bankert is sucked into limbo.

Gorgax escapes the trap of the Robert Smith clone's body through the
instability of the tv dimension.  He possesses Dorito-Breath-Man and
uses him to return to Earth, where he battles the Awesome Force.  He
possesses Gus, the Awesome Force's computer, and attempts to kill them
again, before transfering himself to the Real World and possessing the
Awesome Force's author, Bill Paul.  Amazing Ginsu, however, possesses his
real life counterpart, Dan Rossi, and convinces others of the danger.
They capture Gorgax in the Damn Thing, and thusly both Amazing Ginsu and
Gorgax are returned to the Superguy dimension.

Professor Destruction and Solitary Figure dump their mega-goop in
reservoir #3, as part of their plan to turn Bob City into a city of
gibbering fools.  Prof. Destruction then divides his class into groups
for a group project.  Group Five, led by Mike Braine, elects to forment
revolution in the small Central American nation of San Pedro, the effects
of which are seen early.  Mike follows Prof. Destruction to his hideout
and are joined by the Deadheads.  Upon learning of Fu Manchu, the whole
group elects to head to Fu Manchu Towers to meet him.

A group of super villains (Elma Fudd, Dutch Boy, Edward Bazooka Hands,
the GRRR and Fear Meister) kill off the Legion of Stuperheroes, Reaganbo
and Super Duck.

The Shriners, tracking the Punk With a Gun, wind up in Fu Manchu Towers
and meet Fu Manchu and Wally, who have put mind-altering goop in
reservoir #2.  The Punk, meanwhile, searches for (and finds) his non-
functioning Gun.  Axe-Man, meanwhile, locates the Punk's Stealth Beetle
and drives toward Fu Manchu Towers, determined to make the Punk pay.
Genericman, after learning his origin and the nature of Planet Planet,
spots Axe-Man and follows him.  Bulletproof heads for Fu Mancu Towers
looking for the Gun Avenger.  Gene Hackman leads Army forces against the
Stealth Beetle.

George Bush fights George Bush in Iraq.  It is revealed that George Bush
acquired the powers of Surplus Man due to a botched teleportation attempt
that led to the creation of five billion Bushs by Dangerousman's atomic
destruction of Washington D.C.  When Faith and Healer melded the Bushs,
they were actually melding the various pieces of Surplus Man.  Surplus
Man's psyche, meanwhile, settled into a body prepared for it by an
entirely different rescue operation.  That body belonged to Dana Carvey,
and Surplus Man, believing he was Bush, first tried to bring down the
Plain People's Liberation Front, before being hounded out of the country
and into Iraq, where he killed and replaced Saddam Hussein.  After Rad,
Faith and Healer sorted all this out, they returned to Washington D.C.
with George Bush back in his original body and Dana Carvey back to life
as well.  Surplus Man was left, sans powers, in Iraq, in the shape of
Saddam Hussein, but not knowing any arabic.  While Bush was gone, Quayle
ordered Richard Less to lead an invasion of Nebraska, where he
encountered exploding cows.  Upon his return Bush put an end to Quayle's
incompetent doings.  Glum tested pregnant with twins, and Rad had a
surreal dream that helped him deal with becoming a father.
