The Origin of Tornado Ted

In the state of Texas, there lived a petty conman named Ted Ringer. Ted wasn’t that great of a con artist and had several stints in prison. He wants to be a legendary outlaw and he currently feels like he’s one in his own mind. One day, Ted would con the wrong man and that man was Henry Q. a.k.a. the supervillain X-Eye. Ted stole thousands of dollars from X-Eye and instead of turning Ted over to the police, X-Eye made a deal with him. X-Eye offered to experiment on Ted, and all will be forgiven. Ted wanting to avoid prison reluctantly accepts X-Eye’s deal and for the four months Ted was experiment on. X-Eye was working on superhuman soldiers and wanted Ted to be one of them. Eventually, Ted would gain new superpowers. Ted now can control the wind and create tornados. Thus, Ted Ringer became Tornado Ted, the whirlwind outlaw. Ted embracing his Texan roots, dressed as cowboy, and always carried two pistols with him. 

Tornado Ted would now work for X-Eye and X-Eye was proud of his latest creation. “Perfect, now I want you to meet your new teammates,” said X-Eye. X-Eye clapped his hands and three superhumans entered the laboratory. First was Dirtclog, a mutant whose whole body is made of mud. Dirtclog can change shape and can multiple himself to create duplicates of himself or mini versions of himself. Dirtclog smells awful and loves being muddy and gooey. Second was Exclamation Point, a superpowered assassin who is obsessed with exclamation points. His gun is shaped like an exclamation point and so are his bullets, knifes, and grappling hooks. Exclamation Point wears a black mask with a huge white exclamation point on it. Third and last was Gator Guard the First, a half-human and half-alligator creature who was X-Eye’s first Gator Guard soldier. Gator Guards serve as X-Eye’s henchmen but Gator Guard the First is the original. Gator Guard the First is the leader of the Gator Guards and will do anything to protect his people. He will do anything X-Eye asks of him because he is that loyal. “Here’s your mission. Go to the Eagle Woods and find an experiment of mine codenamed Spy Lion. Dead or alive, bring him to me. Now my robots Buzz and Kirk will fly you to your destination. Good luck and be prepared for a fight,” said X-Eye. Buzz and Kirk flew a jet to Eagle Woods carrying the four superhumans as Tornado Ted grew nervous. “Hey fellas. I don’t know if I can go through with this. I haven’t truly homed in my powers yet,” said Tornado Ted nervously. “Don’t worry, Ted. You’ll learn on the job,” said Dirtclog. “I’m just curious why this guy is called Spy Lion anyway. And what makes him so special to Mr. Q?” asks Tornado Ted. “Spy Lion is secret agent Chris Walker that X-Eye captured and turned into a human-mountain lion hybrid. I don’t quite know why he’s so fascinated with Spy Lion, but an order is and order,” said Exclamation Point. “We’re about to land everyone,” said Buzz. “Lunch will be ready when you get back,” said Kirk. Buzz and Kirk landed the jet in Eagle Woods and off Tornado Ted went to meet his future rival, Spy Lion. Elsewhere in Eagle Woods, Spy Lion, Deerman, Ms. Condor, and General Brown were setting up camp. “I don’t know which I hate worst. Being a fugitive or being a freak,” said Ms. Condor. “Hopefully, we can prove our innocence and stop the true mastermind X-Eye,” said General Brown. “Don’t be so hopeful. X-Eye is a billionaire and can keep things swept under the rug if you know what I mean,” said Deerman. Spy Lion stopped setting up a tent and the sound of a tornado blast throughout the forest. “Oh God. Tornado is coming everyone. We need to find a safe place to hide,” yelled Spy Lion. But suddenly, Tornado Ted appeared riding the tornado as Spy Lion and his friends look confused. “Who are you? And how are you doing that?” asked Spy Lion. “My name is Tornado Ted. I am a famous outlaw with the power to control the wind and create tornados. Now which do you think you can outrun faster, bullets or a tornado? Now boys, let’s have some fun,” yelled Tornado Ted. Tornado Ted started shooting Spy Lion while hovering inside his tornado. 

Suddenly, Dirtclog, Exclamation Point, and Gator Guard the First emerged out of the woods and attacked Deerman, Ms. Condor, and General Brown. As Spy Lion fought Tornado Ted, Deerman fought Dirtclog, Ms. Condor fought Gator Guard the First, and General Brown fought Exclamation Point. Back at X-Eye’s laboratory, X-Eye was getting his backup plan ready. Buzz and Kirk returned as X-Eye was getting his bomb ready to blow up Eagle Woods. “Master, I still don’t get why you are going to kill your henchmen alongside Spy Lion and his friends. What if this plan backfires?” asks Buzz. “And what are we going to do with this lunch that I worked all day on for them?” asks Kirk. “Quiet you two. I’m about to launch the bomb. Everyone is a threat to me. Even my creations,” said X-Eye. The bomb is launched via drone as Spy Lion and his friends continue to their fight against X-Eye’s henchmen. Tornado Ted is about to shoot the finishing blow when he spots the bomb coming down. Suddenly Tornado Ted had to make the decision not to obey his boss, but to save the day. Tornado Ted flies closer to the bomb and uses all his power to blow the bomb up into the sky. Spy Lion and his friends along with Dirtclog, Exclamation Point, and Gator Guard the First look on as Tornado Ted uses his whirlwinds to hurl the bomb into space. The bomb exploded in the sky and Tornado Ted appears to have been slain in the explosion. Once the bomb is destroyed Dirtclog, Exclamation Point, and Gator Guard the First flee because their most powerful team member is dead. 

Spy Lion and his friends resume setting up camp as the sun sets. Dirtclog, Exclamation Point, and Gator Guard the First returned to X-Eye’s lair to face a furious X-Eye. Of course, they had no idea X-Eye tried to kill them, but X-Eye began to think he can convince them to stay on his side. As Dirtclog, Exclamation Point, and Gator Guard the First ate dinner made by X-Eye’s robot henchmen Kirk. Elsewhere, high in the mountains, a lone outlaw played a harmonica in peace as he thinks about his next steps. And that lone outlaw is of course, Tornado Ted.  

THE END!
