(Cleveland, Ohio)

"And another one bites the dust!" Kid Razor laughed as Cleveland's Finest carted away a thief in the paddy wagon. The Ultimate Rockstar hefted up a pile of guitars. The thief was trying to raid a music store, stealing all the guitars in the place! The Fearless One held the guitars carefully, and handed them back to the grateful owner.

"Thank you, Kid Razor!" The owner smiled. "And way to whoop Tusk!"

"No problem." Razor grinned. "He was easy." A police car, sirens blaring, rolled up to the rocker. Razor raised a blond eyebrow.

"Here we go." He laughed as he saw Sgt. Polanski leave the car. Razor noticed his partner: A pretty young woman with short blond hair, cut a half-inch above her shoulders. "Hey Pulaski! Who's the hottie?"

"Sgt. Amanda Briscoe." She said. "Polanski wants to arrest you again?"

"Well, baby, you can take the Kid of Rock in anytime." Razor pulled a badge out of his jacket. "I am a certified agent for the FBI."

"You're a federal agent?" Polanski blinked.

"Kind of. I'm a member of the Female Body Inspectors." Razor grinned. Briscoe laughed and Polanski groaned.

"I should've known." Polanski grumbled.

"Sorry Polanski. Can't play now, I still got crimes to bust up." Razor grinned. He winked at a laughing Briscoe, and flew off into the air.

"I hate that guy." Polanski muttered as he got back into his car.

"I think he's alright." Briscoe smiled. "A bit crude, but alright."

"He's a cocky little punk with superpowers, that's what he is." Polanski growled. "How does he do this?" He grabbed his coffee and sipped it. His radio clicked on.

"POLANSKI!!!!!! BRISCOE!!!!" A voice roared on the other end. Briscoe yelped and Polanski dropped his coffee on himself.


"Not AGAIN!"

(Hellfire Club Building, New York City)

"Chalk up another victory for Kid Razor!" Selene said with delight as she watched Razor fly off on her crystal ball. "However, that was a bit unfair. He was only a mortal burglar and you were a super-powered rock musician. Oh, well. Spider-Man deals with such minor threats as well." The sorceress had grown rather fond of Razor. His power made him extremely attractive to her, and she wanted that power for herself. "Ah well, knowing you Razor, a new opponent, one more…worthy will arise. All I have to do is wait. Once I learn all I need about you, I can strike and take that guitar from you."

(A laboratory, Cleveland)

A scientist named Dr. Gary Turnbull looked at a beaker containing some white liquid. Dr. Turnbull was the world's foremost reptile expert and a geneticist. He was in his mid-thirties, with short brown hair, and green eyes. He was clad in a green shirt with brown slacks and a white lab coat. Recently, he was approached by the military to work on a project to create a super-powered version of Captain America.

Only appropriate they use reptile DNA for this project. The scientist smiled to himself. Reptiles have been around for millions of years. Their ancestors, the dinosaurs, were powerful beasts who ruled the Earth. Modern day reptiles are capable of numerous feats. The gecko can cling to walls like a spider. The chameleon can change color to make himself invisible. The crocodile has a bite powerful enough to crush bone. The tortoise's shell makes him nature's tank. Some lizards can even regenerate lost limbs!  Ah, yes. The reptile world is full of possible superpowers.

"But will they approve of a super-soldier that can stick to walls and change color?" Dr. Turnbull thought out loud to himself. He looked at his cages. One wall of his lab was covered in large cages. In them were various reptiles, lifelong fascinations for Dr. Turnbull. Ever since he was a boy, the doctor loved snakes, geckos, and various other cold-blooded critters. He smiled as he looked at his formula in the beaker. "I did it! I can't believe I did it!" He laughed happily. "I created a serum that'll allow humans to do things any member of the reptile family can do!" He danced around happily. "Hey, guys!" He whooped to his pets. "I did it! Yeah! Alright! Go Gary! Yeah!" He failed to notice he had accidentally knocked over a bottle on a shelf. It spilled its contents into another bottle. The two chemicals inside started bubbling, causing the bottle to shake and make a hissing sound. "Huh?" Dr. Turnbull heard the hissing, and he slowly walked to the shaking bottle. "What?"

KABOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The bottle exploded, knocking the screaming scientist into a wall. The explosion caused him to be doused in various chemicals, including the serum he created.

"Uhnnnnnnn…uh…" He slipped out of consciousness.

(An alley in Cleveland, Ohio)

Kid Razor landed in an alley, and in a flash of light, he transformed back into Bobby Parkins. Ronnie Rocker appeared.

"Hey Bobby. Slow day, huh?"

"Yup." Bobby sighed. "Ever since Tusk, things have been slow. Does Spidey have days like this?" Bobby wondered. Ronnie shrugged.

"I dunno. Don't know the guy personally. Hey listen, don't you have to meet the guys?" Ronnie laughed.

"Yeah. Wendy's trying to set me up on a blind date." Bobby groaned. Ronnie raised an eyebrow. "I don't feel comfortable doing this blind date stuff. You never know who you'll end up with."

"Like that show. Sometimes, something funny may happen." Ronnie smirked.

"Or something disastrous may happen." Bobby groaned. "Well, better get going. Rip's helping me move my stuff into my new dorm."

Well, looks like some changes are occurring! What'll happen to Dr. Turnbull? How will Bobby's blind date go? Who will he end up with? Can he adjust to dorm life? Find out in the next chapter! Suggestions needed badly!
