… Ahem.

Let's begin.

Ben 10: Unlimited

Chapter 13

The Once and Future Thing, Part 1

Bellwood

Underneath the city of Bellwood was a sprawling base, home to hundreds of the most dedicated and skilled law-enforcement agents in the universe.

The Plumbers.

All of the Plumbers were good at their jobs, but the leaders of the Earth Precinct were some of the best, known for their skills, their accomplishments, and of course, their friendship with Ben Tennyson.

Helen Wheels, a Kineceleran, or XLR8, as Ben would call it.

Manny Armstrong, a Tetramand, or Fourarms.

Alan Albright, a Pyronite, or Heatblast.

Cooper Daniels, a technopath, able to control and manipulate machinery, as well as enhanced strength and a genius-level IQ.

Last was Jimmy Jones. While not an official Plumber, his information-gathering and organizational skills were beyond impressive; he practically ran every aspect of the day-to-day operations of the base.

Though these five were the youngest of the Plumbers, they had been trained by both Max and Ben Tennyson; they knew what they were doing, and had proven that they had the right stuff over and over again.

Now, they were overseeing the initiation of the four newest Plumbers; the Ultimen. After arriving in their universe, the four superheroes had quickly been brought up to speed about how things worked. After attending Plumber Academy, they'd been deployed to Earth and were being assigned their rooms and standard Plumber armor.

The former Helpers had been shocked when Verdona had shown up and announced that Ben was actually alive. They had been devastated when they heard about what happened to the Tennyson family, as well as Kevin and Julie. They had been deployed to an emergency several light-years away, and had been unable to help. To find out that Ben was still alive…

When the Ultimen showed up, and told them that they'd actually met Ben, they'd been bombarded with questions; unfortunately, they hadn't known Ben that well. In fact, they hadn't even known that he was human until they arrived at the Plumber base. All they could tell them was information on their own universe.

"Still can't believe that Ben's living in a world full of superheroes." Muttered Manny.

"Manny, you've been saying that for months," scolded Helen, "would you let it go?"

"He could have at least sent a message, or something," offered Alan, "anything to let us know that he was still alive."

"I can understand why," said Jimmy from behind them, "think about all the times he spent time with us; nearly every time, Gwen and Kevin were with him. Do you really think that he wanted to be reminded of them?"

The three aliens looked down at their feet. While they had initially been furious that Ben had left them to think he was dead, his reasons for staying in another universe made sense.

"I guess not," said Manny.

"Don't worry about Ben." The Plumbers turned to see Wind Dragon, the other Ultimen behind him. "From what I saw of him, he's been doing well."

"Indeed he has." All whirled around to see a man with black hair and a white lab coat.

"Professor Paradox!" exclaimed Jimmy. The time-traveling hero had visited the Plumbers on occasion, requesting their help in stopping anomalies in the time-stream every once in a while.

The professor gave a smile. "Yes; anyway, Ben has been doing well for himself. He's already saved his new universe once, and I daresay he'll…" Paradox frowned and put a hand to his head.

"Professor?" asked a concerned Shifter; she had met Paradox a couple of times, and despite his eccentricity, found him a likeable person. "Are you all right?"

Paradox looked up at them. "I'm fine; however, I must be going. Cheerio, and all that!"

In a flash of blue light, Paradox vanished.

"What was that about?" asked Cooper.

"I don't know," said Jimmy, "but it can't be good."

…

Watchtower

Shayera's return to the Justice League had left most members in 1 of 2 camps; some didn't think she could be trusted, while others were at least willing to give her a chance. Ben, on the other hand, firmly believed that he could trust the Thanagarian with his life; seeing Ben, a trusted Leaguer, put his faith in Shayera had actually brought other members to the second camp.

Some, however, wouldn't forgive her for her betrayal. One of those was Wonder Woman, who was currently glaring at her as she walked to her table in the cafeteria.

"Diana's carrying a grudge." Commented Green Lantern, where he, Batman and Ben were eating.

"She'll get over it." Said Batman.

"Hopefully." Added Ben; he'd learned about the Amazon culture, and betrayal of any sort was a crime of the highest order. "How about you, Lantern? Carrying anything?"

"What, with Shayera?" Lantern smiled. "It's been a long time since we were together; we've decided to give each other our space for a while."

Both Ben and Batman looked at him skeptically.

"I'm very happy." Said Lantern.

"Uh-huh." Said Batman, clearly not believing him.

"Anyway," said Lantern, trying to change the subject, "why is it that we always talk about either Ben's love life or mine?"

"More like your lack of one." Commented Ben.

Lantern shot him a look, then asked Batman, "What's going on between you and Diana?"

Most of the senior Leaguers enjoyed implying that there was something going on between the princess and the Dark Knight, Ben included, though he did think that they were a good match.

"There's nothing going on between us." Said Batman.

Ben rolled his eyes, while Lantern said, "Uh-huh."

"I don't have time to pursue a relationship," said Batman, "my work is too important. Diana's a remarkable woman, she's a trusted friend, she's…" he noticed the looks the other two heroes were giving him, "… standing right behind me, isn't she?"

"Don't let that stop you," said Wonder Woman as she put a hand on Batman's shoulder, "keep digging."

"Intruder alert!" the four heroes stood up at the sound of the automated alert. "Dormitory deck. Intruder alert! Dormitory deck."

They rushed to the deck in question, with Ben turning into Swampfire, to find a man in a blue bodysuit, goggles and a silver belt stealing one of Batman's spare utility belts.

"Freeze!" yelled Swampfire, a ball of flame appearing in his hand.

"Y-you weren't supposed to see me!" said the man in a terrified voice. He pressed a button on his belt, and jumped into a white, swirling hole that appeared behind him. The four heroes quickly followed, but began to spin around until Green Lantern created a bubble around them with his ring.

They shielded their eyes as the end of the tunnel became very bright.

…

Elkhorn, Oklahoma

When the four exited the tunnel, they weren't in the Watchtower anymore. In fact, they had no idea where they were; all around them dust, mesas and tumbleweeds. Swampfire turned back into Ben and swayed on his feet.

"Everyone okay?" asked Green Lantern.

"I think I left my stomach back on the Watchtower." Moaned Ben.

"Where are we?" asked Wonder Woman.

Before anyone could answer, they heard the sound of guns being cocked; the four heroes turned to see four men on horseback, each aiming a pistol at them.

"Where?" said Batman, "I think the real question is when."

The men hopped off their horses and approached them.

"I have to confess," said one, "yer about the most colorfully-attired folk I've ever bushwhacked. You circus-folk?"

"Not exactly." Said Wonder Woman.

The guy shrugged. "I don't care what ya are, so long as ya pay the toll."

"Toll?" asked Ben.

"Welcome to Elkhorn, Oklahoma, folks." The man said, tipping his hat, "This here's Tobias Manning territory." He held out his hand, expecting his "toll".

"You want tribute?" asked Wonder Woman, incredulous, "Money?"

"Well, I ain't particular," he said, his eyes drifting to her hip, "that fancy gold chain will do just fine." Then he cupped her chin in his hand. "Unless there's somethin' else you wanna give me?"

Bad move, dude, thought Ben with a smirk.

Wonder Woman heaved the man over her head and sent him flying. One of the others aimed his gun, but Ben knocked it aside and slammed his fist into the man's jaw; just because he could turn into super-powered aliens didn't mean that he didn't know how to fight on his own. The other two fired their guns, but Wonder Woman deflected the shots with her bracelets.

"Those are the biggest, slowest bullets I've ever seen." She commented.

"You're letting them go?" asked Batman, as the two tried to run.

"Oh, no way." Wonder Woman caught the fleeing men with her lasso. She knocked the men out, while Batman and Green Lantern brought the horses over.

"I was afraid of this," said Batman as he pulled a newspaper from one of the saddles, "The Elkhorn Gazette; it's either an amazing forgery or it's less than a month old."

"So?" asked Wonder Woman.

"Look at the date," said Batman, "June, eighteen seventy-nine."

"I have mentioned how much I hate time-travel?" asked Green Lantern.

"Fantastic," said Ben, looking around, "and no Professor Paradox to get us out of here."

"Do you think that Clockwork could get us back?" asked Wonder Woman.

Ben shook his head. "Doubt it; I only know how to do a few things as Clockwork, and actually moving through time isn't one of them."

Wonder Woman sighed. "Then if we don't find our sneak-thief, we're stuck here."

"Let's head for the nearest town," suggested Lantern, "see if we can find him."

"We can't go anywhere dressed like this." said Batman, gesturing to their costumes; Ben was wearing his usual attire, but jeans, a green jacket and a black t-shirt wouldn't blend into 1879 America any more than Batman's costume.

"No," agreed Wonder Woman, as she looked at the men she'd knocked out, "we can't."

…

After a brief amount of time changing, the Leaguers were now wearing the men's clothes; fortunately, they were all relatively close in size, even Ben, who was the shortest of the heroes present. However, the clothes were filthy, so Ben used Clockwork to restore them to good condition.

Ben was wearing a dark green, knee-length jacket, dark blue hat and pants, and a black, button-up shirt with brown boots. Diana was wearing blue pants, a white shirt and hat, and brown jacket with brown boots.

Bruce was wearing a long, black coat and hat; his other attire was all grey. John, not wanting to put on the smelly clothes, had simply made new ones with his ring.

"These shoes are killing me." Complained Diana.

"You fight crime wearing high-heels." Ben pointed out.

"High heels that fit!"

"Everyone should probably take one of these," said John, handing out holsters and pistols, "we probably won't be bothered if people see we're armed."

"Or it'll start a gunfight." Muttered Ben, even as he gingerly took the gun; he'd only used the occasional energy weapon, never a gun that fired bullets.

"Your empty holsters aren't going to scare anyone," John said to Bruce, "you sure you don't want one?"

"Positive," Bruce pointed to his utility belt, then hopped onto a horse, "let's ride!"

The other Leaguers followed suit, and their horses took off. It took about an hour, but they made it into town; they had no idea where to look, so they picked a saloon. It seemed cliché, but it was the only idea they had. They entered the saloon and sat at a table in the corner; they received passing glances, but attention returned to the center of the room, where a card game was going on.

"My pappy always said," commented one of the players, a man with a flower on his brown vest and a grey hat on his head, "faint of heart never filled a flush."

"It ain't your pappy's money." Said another man, as he put his cards down. "I fold."

"That leaves you and me," said a man with a thin mustache and a brown coat, "what're you holding, Mister Lash?"

"It'll cost you another five-hundred to find out." Said Lash, pushing forward a pile of chips.

The other man smiled, pushed his own chips forward and laid his cards on the table. "Call; four kings and an ace."

Lash rubbed his chin. "Well now, that's a might perplexing," he said as he put his own cards down, "seeing as how I've got four aces and a king." He started to pull the chips towards himself, but the other man stood up.

"Well, I've got the gun." He pulled out a strange, seven-barreled weapon.

Lash put his hands up, then a small pistol shot into his open palm. "Lotta that goin' around, it seems." The two men stared each other down, before Lash spoke again. "Seem like a waste of a good-sized pot; how 'bout we split it and both walk away?"

In response, the barrels of the other man's gun extended on spider-like limbs and surrounded Lash. "How 'bout I take it all?"

Lash's eyes widened in surprise, but otherwise kept his cool. "Sounds fair, the way you explain it," he said as he put his gun down.

"That technology's from the future!" Diana hissed, as she started to get up, while Ben was reaching for the Ultimatrix.

"Wait," whispered Bruce, "we don't know how things work here yet." Diana and Ben looked at each other, but sat back down.

Two men grabbed Lash by the arms, while the other man's gun went back to normal. "Hang 'im at dawn."

"Don't I get a trial?" demanded Lash.

"Sure." The man leaned in close. "You're guilty; my town, my rules."

"Wait a minute!" cried Lash, as he was being dragged off, "Can't we talk about this? How 'bout another hand? Double or nothing!" But it was too late; he was dragged off.

"I think we know how things work here now." Commented John.

"We have to help that man!" said Diana.

"That's not what we're here for," said Bruce, "someone's tampering with history; the stakes are much bigger than the life of one card shark."

Diana stared at him, then got up. "Then it's settled; we'll break him out after sundown."

As she walked up, Ben smirked at Bruce, who hadn't responded.

"What?" he asked.

"Wha-ksssh!" said Ben, making a whipping motion with his hand, while John chuckled.

…

Later that night, at the jail, Lash was trying to force the bars on his window open, but with no success.

"That's not going to work. I tried already."

Lash turned to the occupant of the cell next to his, a small man with a grey beard.

"Yeah, those bars are cheap pig iron," continued the man, "but they're plenty strong enough to hold; at least until morning, when they come to hang you."

"Do you mind?" asked an annoyed Lash, "I'm trying to plan an escape over here."

"How's it coming so far?" asked the other man.

"I'm working on it!"

A clang against the bars to Lash's cell made both men look up. "Quiet down in there!" barked the guard.

"That's just what I was telling him!" said Lash, pointing at the other man.

"Ooooh! Ooooh!" all three men turned to see a pale, one-eyed ghost flying towards the guard, hands held out, as if to steal his soul.

Ghostfreak flew up to the guard, who was so scared that he couldn't move. "Boo!"

"Ah!" the guard turned and ran, right into the wall, and knocked himself out.

Ghostfreak would have smiled, if he had a mouth, so he settled for chuckling, then slapping the Ultimatrix dial. The men in the cells covered their eyes from the green flash, before looking at Ben.

"How'd you do that?" asked Lash.

Ben shrugged. "A magician never reveals his secrets."

Lash smiled. "Fair enough."

The other heroes came in. "I'll get the door," said John, his ring making a key, until Diana simply ripped the door off its hinges, "or you could do that."

Diana handed Lash his holster and gun, while Bruce told him, "I'd get out of town if I were you."

"I'd like to," said Lash, "but my pappy always said, 'a man who sticks his head in the sand makes a pretty good target'. I've got business to conclude before I leave." He twirled his gun, then re-holstered it, before holding out his hand to Diana. "Bartholomew Aloysius Lash. Friends call me Bat; Bat Lash."

Diana shook his hand, while John made the introductions. "I'm John; these are my friends Diana, Ben and…" he hesitated when he reached Bruce, who never told anyone who he was while he was working.

"…Bruce." Finished the detective.

"We're lawmen," continued John, "looking to bring a criminal to justice."

"You may have seen him," said Ben, "he's got amazing machines. We think the man who put you in here works for him."

"Not exactly." The five turned to see the other man, and the heroes recognized the voice. It was the time-traveler!

"You're…" began John.

"David Clinton," said the man, "inventor of the chrono-suit, at your disposal."

"You tried to steal Batman's utility belt." Diana stated.

"And you chased me," said David, "but time-tunnels are somewhat counter-intuitive. Even though you were only seconds behind me, I arrived here nearly six months before you did."

"Where's your time-travel device?" asked Bruce.

"Now there's a story." David hung his head. "As soon as I got here, I was robbed."

"By Tobias Manning." Guessed Ben.

"Yes, he did; he took my suit and used it to take over this town." David began to pace. "He keeps taking trips to the future and coming back with stolen technology. He keeps me here to teach him how to use the stuff that he can't work out for himself."

"Which I'd suspect is most of it," commented Lash, "what with him being so mule-stupid and all."

"It's been horrible in here," said a begging David, "humiliating! I just want to go home; I'll gladly accept my punishment if you help me get back."

"How did Tobias take over a whole town with a time machine?" asked John.

"With future-tech, of course." Said David, like it was obvious.

"Like his surveillance cameras." Said Bruce, pointing up; sure enough, a camera was pointing right at them. "We need to go. Now."

"You're with us," said Diana, ripping open the doors of David's cell.

"Now that's a healthy gal," commented Lash, as they made their way out.

They were only saved from getting killed by gunfire because John was able to bring up a shield in time. Bullets pinged off; they were safe, for the moment.

"I've got their positions," said John, "I'm gonna take 'em down."

"Don't hurt anyone," warned Diana, "we could accidentally change history."

"Little late for that, don't you think?" asked Ben.

Bruce heard a noise behind him, and turned to see the prison guard, who'd regained consciousness. The man reached for his gun.

"Go ahead," said Bruce as he reached for his utility belt, "give me an excuse."

The guard could see that Bruce didn't have a gun, so he went for his own. By the time his hand wrapped around the grip, Bruce had ripped it out of his hand and knocked him out.

"Now that's just showing off." Commented Ben.

Outside, the gunfire was starting to lessen.

"Something's happening out there," said John.

"Somethin's happenin', all right," said a very happy Lash, "the cavalry's arrived!"

After a few more gunshots rang out, everything was silent. The group emerged from the jail to see a rather strange trio. One was a Native-American, and he was by far the most normal. There was a man dressed in black and red, wearing a red mask and had a whip at his side. The last was a massive man that wore a gray shirt and wide-brimmed hat, which only partially concealed a large, distorted eye and torn mouth.

"Who are you people?" asked John.

"Sheriff Ohiyesa Smith." The Native-American said.

"El Diablo," said the masked man with a Spanish accent, "ever at the service of justice."

"Jonah Hex." Said the disfigured man, "Don't have a lot of time for jawin'. In these parts, there's an abundance of bad men who need settin' straight." To punctuate his statement, Hex loaded a pair of shells into his shotgun.

Hex then looked the heroes up and down. "If you all are workin' for Tobias, there's gonna be difficulty."

"Easy, Jonah," said Lash, "they're with me. They helped me out of a spot while I was here incognito, tryin' to find out more about Tobias."

"What have you learned?" asked Smith.

"Among other moral failings," said Lash, "the man cheats at poker."

"Heh, I coulda told ya that." Said Hex, then spat off to the side.

"Okay, I'm a little lost." Ben stepped forward. "Someone want to fill us in on the whole story?"

"I've lived in Elkhorn since the war," said Smith, "and I've been sheriff most of that time. This here's a mining town, booming too. Folks sometimes get a might rowdy on payday, but still, it's a good place to live. There's never been any mischief I couldn't handle; that is, until about six months ago. Tobias Manning's always been trouble; I've run him out of town before. Well, he came back, and this time he had, I don't know, magic powers."

"There's no such thing as magic, my friend." Said El Diablo, "It was some sort of trickery."

Dr. Fate and Zatanna might have something to say about that, thought Ben.

Smith continued, anger in his voice. "Well, he tricked me near to death! Then he beat me good and ran me out of town like a stray dog. He took over the town, and runs it like his own personal kingdom. He treats the townspeople like slaves; that's unacceptable to me."

"The sheriff went looking for men to help take Tobias down," added Diablo, "and he found us."

"And what's yer stake in this?" asked Hex.

"We're lawmen, too." Said John.

"From back East?" asked Hex.

"Sure." Lied Bruce.

"We came here to bring this man to justice," explained Diana, pointing to David, "indirectly, he's the source of your trouble too."

"Tobias stole a dangerous weapon from him," added Ben, "and we need to take it back. Since we want the same thing, maybe we should work together."

"I ain't about to turn down help." Said Smith.

"What's the plan?" asked John.

"Plan?" snorted Hex, "We put him in the ground."

The four natives to the timeline walked to their horses. The Leaguers, plus David, looked at each other for a moment, then followed. The nine of them got onto their horses and rode off.

After a while, Hex turned to Ben, noticing the Ultimatrix. "Fancy wristwatch you got there, son. I reckon you folks are time-travelers?"

Ben gave a nervous smile. "Now, where would you get a crazy idea like that?"

"Experience." Replied Hex easily, "I've had an interesting life."

"We're getting close." Said Smith, "I wanna warn you, there's some downright unusual activity going on hereabouts; don't let it throw you."

"Don't worry," said John, "we've got a lot of experience dealing with unusual…" he trailed off as a pair of mechanical pterodactyls, with gun-toting riders, flew in close. "I'm sorry, you were saying?"

"Ben, Diana," Bruce barked, "take care of them."

"Got it." Ben jumped off his horse and slammed down on the Ultimatrix. "CHROMASTONE!"

"What the…" said Lash. Then his jaw dropped as both Chromastone and Diana flew into the air.

Both riders fired energy weapons, but Diana deflected shots with her bracelets, while Chromastone simply absorbed them. Diana then ripped the wing off the one of the robots, while Chromastone fired a blast of energy that disabled the other. Both riders deployed jetpacks and flew off.

"Why would they need robot dinosaurs if they had jetpacks?" asked Diana as they flew back down to their horses.

"For the coolness factor?" suggested Chromastone, before he turned back into Ben and hopped onto his horse.

Everyone else simply rolled their eyes.

…

When they reached Tobias' camp, they took cover behind some stones, while Smith took a look at the defenses. He didn't have a lot of time, however, because he was detected by the guards; robots, dressed in cowboy attire. Several dozen more robots ran out, firing automatic and energy weapons.

"Now might be a good time to turn into that purple rock-man!" said Lash to Ben, as the group took cover.

Ben shook his head. "I've got someone else in mind." he activated the Ultimatrix and searched until he found the alien he wanted, then slammed the dial.

"CANNONBOLT!" the new alien was large, and mostly white, with yellow plates on his back, head and limbs. Cannonbolt then rolled up into a ball and sped down into the mass of robots, shots deflecting off of his shell, and sent many of them flying.

The rest of the group, save for David, charged in, easily laying waste to the robot soldiers. Occasionally, they met up with one of Tobias' lieutenants, and each one had something very out of place with the Old West. One rode a Velociraptor, another drove a tank, and three were inside of giant robots, but the team defeated them all. All that was left was their leader.

"Tobias!" roared Smith.

"If it isn't 'Pow-wow' Smith." Smith turned to see Tobias come out of a shed. "Wasn't expecting to see your sorry hide again."

"I've told you before about calling me that," growled Smith, "it ain't gonna happen again."

"No," agreed Tobias, as he extended the barrels of his gun again, "I expect this is gonna be the last time. Go for you gun, chief, so I can ventilate ya proper."

Behind Smith, the rest of the heroes stepped forward, and Cannonbolt turned into Diamondhead.

"Seven guns, seven of us," said Bruce, drawing a batarang, "nobody miss."

A moment later, a batarang, two bullets, an energy-ring blast, a whip, a bladed tiara and a shard of diamond reduced Tobias' weapon into scrap.

"My guns!" shouted Tobias.

"You and me, partner," said Smith, "right now."

Tobias smirked. "Another day, lawman." He ran back into the shed, and emerged from a skylight, on the back of a winged, robotic horse.

"I can't catch him in the air!" raged Smith.

"You can with help." Diamondhead slapped the Ultimatrix dial. "JET RAY!"

Jet Ray picked Smith up by the shoulders with his feet and pursued, the fast alien quickly catching up to the robot. He tossed Smith through the air; the sheriff landed on the back of the horse and punched his enemy. Without anyone to control it, the robot crashed into the ground. Both men were flung clear of the crash, and struggled to their feet.

"Have it your way," said Tobias, as he pulled out a knife, "let's finish this!"

While Tobias might have acted threatening, he wasn't a threat when it came down to a fair fight; Smith beat the stuffing out of him, finally knocking him out with one final uppercut. As the rest of the group caught up to him, he pulled off the chrono-belt that Tobias was wearing.

"This what you're looking for?"

…

After a short rest, the group gathered up all of the technology that Tobias had hoarded, and Green Lantern, now in his uniform along with the other Leaguers, sent it into the sun with his ring.

"Near as my ring can tell," he said, "that's everything that shouldn't be here."

"Shoot," said Lash, "I wanted one of them fancy ray-guns."

"Ain't dependable," Hex warned him, "they jam."

"I don't suppose you could keep all this a secret?" Ben asked Smith.

The sheriff smiled. "Who would believe us?"

A short distance away, Batman and David were working on the chrono-belt.

"Oh, you forgot to reset the compensator." David said, reaching for the belt, "Here, let me." He pressed a button, and Batman was hit by a wave of energy and collapsed.

David snatched up the belt and created another time-tunnel, just as the other Leaguers ran to their fallen friend. "Or maybe I'm lying!"

Laughing maniacally, he jumped into the tunnel, followed closely by the four superheroes. The others tried to go after them, but the time-tunnel vanished.

Here we go again, thought Ben, as they headed to who-knew-when.

…

Neo-Gotham, 50 Years Past Present Day

The four Leaguers flew out of the time-tunnel, and rose unsteadily to their feet.

"We've been expecting you."

The heroes looked up to see a pack of strange people that looked like sci-fi clowns walking towards them. The looks on their faces clearly showed that they weren't friendly. Before the clowns got closer, a bolt of purple lightning cut a furrow into the ground, and three people showed up.

"But I don't think you were expecting us!" the speaker, an older African-American man with grey dreadlocks and a purple coat, landed on the ground, next to a man in a black suit with pointed ears and a red bat-symbol on his chest. Next to him was another man, wearing silver armor and had black wings.

Green Lantern walked up to the man with dreadlocks. "Static?" he asked in disbelief.

The winged man stared right back at Lantern. "Dad?"

Ben sighed. "Looks like it's gonna be one of those days."

To Be Continued…

Oh, Old West heroes, you will never cease to amuse me with your awesomeness. I know I didn't give much attention to those guys, but hey, they only got one episode in JLU, so whatever.

And yeah, I added in a little bit of the Plumber's Helpers, who are now leading the Plumbers on Earth, alongside their newest members, the Ultimen. And heeeere's Paradox! And also, next up: MORE CAMEOS!

Who am I? I am… Iron Muffin!
