SCENE: Man and woman embracing, talking and probably about to kiss.

CAPTION: Never a social butterfly--or even a particularly likable caterpillar--Ron Redux doesn’t date! Or talk to women! Or even leave his house! But then, one day he’s struck by a magical bolt of comic book irony and becomes everyone’s favorite superhero...Major Success!

MAN: Nothing is impossible for me now! I can fly! turn time backwards! and bend men to my will!

WOMEN: What about women? Can you...bend me?

MAN: Honey, if you were anymore bendable, you’d be a puddle on the floor!

WOMAN: Then get a mop, baby! and kiss me quickly...because I‘m melting fast!

CAPTION: Remember, kids! Don’t try this at home...unless you’ve got flood insurance!
