The Invisible Girl vs. The Purple Pooter

Sue Storm looked inside the Jewelry Store she was assigned to! She didn't see anything, but she knew the villain was inside somewhere! Then, she exercised her amazing POWER, slowly fading from sight!

Then she entered! Still no one in sight! Suddenly though, a man raised up from where he had been kneeling behind a display case! He was a tall man in a bright PURPLE suit! Susan gasped! She thought to herself, "I never knew a supervillain...could be so HANDSOME!"

Unfortunately, the crook had heard her gasp! He smoothly said, "Ok whoever you are, come out! I know you're THERE!"

The Invisible Girl became VISIBLE! The man saw her and said, "Oh my...I can't believe my eyes! You are the most LOVELY creature I have ever seen!"

She slowly began to smile! First Namor, then this suave super-villain? Was it POSSIBLE she was on the WRONG SIDE?

"And, just what are you doing with those jewels?", she asked.

"They are all for YOU, my darling!" he slyly said, "All this, plus ALL the jewels in the world wouldn't be enough for one a BEAUTIFUL as you!"

"Oh.... how romantic!", Sue cried. She walked over to the man, he held out his arms to EMBRACE her!

But suddenly, she stopped! "What am I doing?", she asked herself, "I can't two-time REED this way! I can't turn my back on the MAN I LOVE!!"

The purple clothed man STOPPED smiling! "I'm sorry to hear that, my dear! For if I can't DECIEVE you with my charm, I'll have to give you a whiff... of my POWER!"

Sue braced for an attack! She didn't know what FORM it would take, but she would be READY! She watched the villain. Suddenly, his face began to turn red! He grimaced! Then...BBBRRTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!

First the noise, like a frog suddenly being stepped on! Then, without warning, a FOUL, PUTRID SMELL, spread through the room! Sue choked. Her eyes began to WATER!

"NOW you know!", the villain cried, "Why the call me...THE PURPLE POOTER!! Here's some more!"

BRRRTTTTT!
BRRRRRRRRTTTT!
BRRRRRRRRRTTTTTTTTT!

The Invisible Girl was horrified! "This...is HORRIBLE!" she cried. "How can you be so...DISGUSTING?!?!?"

He laughed. "I'm a GUY, aren't I?"

She was overwhelmed. She had a desperate thought! "Perhaps...if I turn my NOSE invisible!"

But it didn't work! Even invisible, her nose soaked up the smelly air molecules!

"And to think!..." she cried, "that I thought you were...CUTE!"

The Purple Pooter only laughed and ran out of the Building! As he ran, it sounded like a motorboat PUTTING down the RIVER!

The Invisible Girl had been defeated!
