Chapter 4: My Villains

Foes and Friends

In this chapter, I'm going to be talking about the group of people that made my life as a super hero both great and tense. I, of course, am talking about my villains. And I had a good population of them and they all meant so much to me, in different ways.

Before them, I only dealt with the common criminal or some natural disaster, like a space rock hurdling towards Fair City. I remember that day as well. My friend, Violet almost lost her life and if Huggy and I hadn't been there, she could've been killed, along with a bunch of other people.

Well, getting back to the main topic of this chapter. The first five villains I ever battled were, what I like to call, 'The Fab Five'. They were the Butcher, Dr. Two-Brains, Granny May, Tobey, and Chuck, the Evil Sandwich-Making Guy.

The first villain I battled was The Butcher. I first thought he was called the Butcher because he used to butcher the English language. He was one of the villains I had to help with his definitions and grammer the most. And he was always most grateful when I did help him. He also called himself the Butcher because of his special super power which involved him shooting meat from his hands. In my opinion, that was a great super power, one that would help many people. Of course, he used it to commit crimes. When one first meets him, he seems terrorizing and mean, but looks can be deceiving. Butcher is like a large teddy bear. He's very loving and kind to most people, including myself, when I was battling him. He even took in a homeless kitten and gave him a home. Sure, he used him in crimes, but he loved that kitten so much that when the kitty ran off, he became very upset to the point of shedding tears. Then when a small girl, younger than myself, showed up with Lil' Mittens, he was so grateful that when he had to go to prison, he let her keep him. I'm not sure if he ever got him back or not. Anyway, Butcher always seemed happy to see me, even though we ended up battling each other. And, along with the other first five villains, I ended up having a strong friendship with Butcher, especially after he had ceased in committing crimes and opened a butcher shop, right alongside two school buddies, The Baker and the Candlestick Maker. Butcher is also the son of another former villain, Kid Potato, who fired potato products, instead of meat products. Butcher and his father loved each other very much, just like any father and son would. They also had their differences, like any parent and child. I never met his mother, but I'm betting she was a loving parent too. I could tell that Butcher came from a very nice household with loving parents, whether or not he had any brothers or sisters, is also unknown. But, it always made me wonder why he never had a wife and kids. He certainly seems like the type who would've been a great father. He did fall in love and eventually married a duplicate of another villain, Lady Redundant Woman. Her name was Dupey and they were married for a long time and, even though they never had children, they adopted a kitty, named Lil' Mittens the Second. But the most tragic time was when he died. He died at the young age of 61, too young if you ask me. When he died, he had given his kitten to my youngest daughter, Charlene. Well, that's what I can say about the Butcher except, I love you, Butcher.

The second villain I battled was Dr. Two-Brains. What can I say about Doc? He is, as far as villains go, is by closest friend. And I cherish our friendship very highly. I fell in love and married Tobey, but Doc will always have a special place in my heart and he will always remain there. I don't remember when I met him, but I was very young and I would often visit him for advice or help when I needed it. Before he was Dr. Two-Brains, evil villain scientist, he was Prof. Steven Boxleitner. He helped me find a way to defeat the Butcher. When he became Dr. Two-Brains, it upset me because I thought I was losing one of my best friends, but thankfully, our friendship was still there, just put on hold for a bit. He tried many times to destroy me, during our battles, but one time, his life was threatened by another alien being and he was thankful that I was there to save his life. And he said how thankful he and the other villains are for having a super hero like me and not like some other super beings that we've come to know. One of my favorite times were the times we've teamed up. That was like twice, I think. The first time was when he couldn't control an army of mice and he asked me to help round them up. He later turned on me, but I still enjoyed helping him. The second time we teamed up was when his so-called fan, Glen Furlblam stole a weapon he made and he asked me to help stop him. When that was over, we winked at each other and I knew deep down inside, our friendship was still there. When I got older, our friendship began to grow back to normal. When I was 15, he found out that I, Wordgirl and Becky Botsford, were the same person. Thankfully, he kept it to himself. I was nervous about him doing so. But since I was able to trust him with that, it helped to make our friendship grow even stronger. When he got married, he asked to share a special dance with me. And when I got married, I returned the favor and asked him to share a special dance with me. He even named his only daughter after me and I named my oldest daughter after him, well the female verison of it. When his daughter was 3, she was kidnapped by his former fan and I helped to rescue her and after I saved her life after she fell off a cliff, he and his wife were so grateful that our friendship was, from then on, never-ending. He remained Dr. Two-Brains for a few more years until his mouse brain got cancer and it had to be removed. Thankfully, he survived the procedure and he became, once again, Dr. Steven Boxleitner. The most tragic thing happened when he died at the age of 65. He was killed by the same individual who ended the lives of a lot of my villains. And, don't get me wrong, I loved and cherish their friendships too, but Doc and I, our friendship was special. Once, my husband asked me, when we were 13, if Doc and I were the same age, would I consider dating him? At the time, I was like, no. But now, I know that if I hadn't fallen in love with Tobey, and if we were the same age, yes, I would've dated him. Dr. Two-Brains, Dr. Steven Boxleitner, call him whatever you want, but I call him 'Best Friend' and even though he died, our friendship is still as alive as ever it will never die. I love you, Dr. Two-Brains aka Steven Boxleitner. Oh, I forgot to mention that Doc had two henchmen who helped him out a lot. One was Charlie and the other, I never really knew his name. But they were very nice guys themselves and were very upset on the day they found out that Doc had died. They had died many years later, themselves.

The third villain I battled was Granny May. She was also my first villainess. And she was also the oldest of my villains. Which means she was very smart and wise. And I admired her very much. Not so much the fact that she committed crimes but her intelligence and devious personality were superb. I met her when she was 75 and she had her grandson, Eugene help her commit crimes. He soon stopped, after befriending Violet, but she continued to do so. She was like 78 when she stopped committing crimes. And like the rest of the 'Fab Five', she holds a very special place in my heart. The only time we ever teamed up was when Hal Hardbargen swindle us out of our money by selling us weapons in order to defeat each other. As you might guess it, I love it when my villains and I team up. It shows that they are good people, deep inside and they are capable of doing the right thing and that they aren't the mean, devilish monsters that people think they are. I know they aren't because I feel that I know them so well, that when they were my enemies, they seemed more like friends, special friends. Friends who just needed a little help every now and then. Well, anyway, getting back to Granny May. I, not only know her grandson, but I also met her mother, Great-Granny May. She was the sweetest woman you would ever meet. I can't imagine what happened to make her daughter want to become a villain. I can tell that Great-Granny May loved her daughter, as much as I love mine. And I know that Granny May loved her mother very much as well, just as much as I love both my Earth mother and my Lexicon mother. Once Granny May had given up crime, we became very good friends and one of her wishes was for me to name my first daughter after her, which I did. My oldest daughter, Stephanie was named after both Doc and Granny May, Stephanie May McCallister-Guy. I'm so glad that I kept my promises to her, before she died. She died at the age of 89, a year younger than I am now. I say that she lived a full life but I'm still upset for the loss. She didn't come with me when I went to testify against Miss Power, but her spirit was with us the whole time, watching over us and keeping us safe. She did attend my wedding, met two of my children, and became a very good friend. So I say she lived a very fulfilled life. I love you, Granny May.

The fourth villain I faced in battle was none other than my beloved husband, Theodore Tobey McCallister the Third. I met him when we were both 10 and he was the youngest of the "Fab Five". Anyway, when I met him, our mothers had set up the first of two playdates, that resulted in him trying to get me to reviel myself as Wordgirl and using robots in order to do so. Of course, both times, I found a way to keep my secret identity a secret. Back then, I was in love with Scoops and had no desire to be friends with Tobey at all, since he tried to destroy our house with giant robots, which was his specialty. He used to build the greatest robots. He only built those robots because he wanted to get my attention and he didn't know any other way to do that. And looking back on our past, no one, especially the two of us, would ever guess that we would one day end up falling in love with, getting married, and having three children. He and I would battle just about all the time. He would build some powerful robot, big or small, and I would either destroy or deprogram it. We didn't really become good friends until the 6th grade and we didn't officially begin dating until we were 13, back in the second semester of 7th grade. And I never knew how protective he was or how much he cared for me until my ex-boyfriend tried to harm me. When we were in our Senior year, he had his robots repair my ship and that Summer, he, I, and Capt. Huggyface went to Lexicon together and we stayed there for two years. Before that, he had proposed to me at Doc's wedding. We got married a little after we turned 21 and we began our family soon after that. Tobey and I were so meant to be together, even though when we were kids, it didn't seem that way. I mean, we were in constant competition all the time, even before he knew I was Wordgirl. He was actually the first villain who I told my secret to because by that time, we had fell in love and I trusted him enough to let him know. But when I did decide to tell him, I was nervous about it because I was thinking that he would be upset that I've lied to him. But he was excited and we shared our first kiss. I had shared a first kiss with my ex, but my first kiss with Tobey was special and gave me hope that our relationship was only going to grow and blossom into something special. As far as competition, I have a laundry list of many things we did. I can't name them all though. But some were 5th grade class president, Crash or Pie, a recycling contest to help get a new playground, Art class, the list just goes on and on. There was one thing he did that I will never forget was when we were in the 5th grade and it was Valentine's Day and he had given me a human-shaped chocolate heart. At the time, I was in love with Scoops, but later, I told him how much I loved what he did and how I appreciate the thought behind it. And, I'm not sure if his mother, Claire McCallister ever knew that Tobey was a villain and she was constantly trying to keep him on the straight and narrow, but despite the constant ear-tuggings, he didn't stop destroying the city with his robots until he and I started dating. But despite his mother's punishments, I know Tobey loved his mother very much. She was killed by my ex in a "car accident" and he was so devastated. I love Tobey and I always will and when we were 50, we went to live on Lexicon for the rest of our lives, until he died when were 85 years old. I was so upset after the death of Tobey. He was the last of the 'Fab Five' and the last of my former villains to die. So that's all I have to say about a man so special to me and to our children, Stephanie, Teddy, and Charlene. We love you, Tobey, with all of our hearts.

The fifth villain I faced was the last of the "Fab Five", that was Chuck, the Evil Sandwich-Making Guy. He was human, but born with a sandwich for a head, and he wasn't the only one. He has a brother, Brent and his mother. He also has a friend named Sammy Sub. Anyway, despite that sandwich head of his, he was very much treated like anyone else. No one treated him differently or anything. As far as I'm concerned, the sandwich head made him more attractive and handsome. He was adorable, despite being an evil villain. But he was very sensitive and got offended and upset very easily about things having to do with sandwiches. His lair was different, he lived in his mother's basement and, when he wasn't committing crimes or spending time in jail, he spent his time playing video games and things like that. He even had a stuffed version of myself and Huggy. He used to be annoyed by his mother, but I know that he and his mother loved each other very much and they cared for each other. I don't know if she really knew that one of her sons was a villain. I know that Chuck's brother, Brent really loved and cared for his brother very much and wanted to spend time with him and even went so far as to become his villainous sidekick and/or partner, in order to do so. I know Chuck was jealous of him a lot, but Brent was equally jealous of Chuck, well. Even though they were born with sandwich-like heads and had the same parents, they were very different. Chuck liked sandwiches with crust and Brent liked sandwiches without crust and went so far as to invent and market crustless his own crustless bread. Even though Chuck was a villain, he was a sandwich artist and he made the best sandwiches in the city and, while I was living on Lexicon for two years, he had given up crime and opened a sandwich shop of his own, with meat products provided by his friend and former fellow villain, Butcher. His shop is called "Chuck's Sandwich Shoppe" and was owned by Chuck and his family, including his brother, Brent. Chuck's stepson is now in charge and is now training his own son to run the shop. I think the saddest moment in Chuck's life was the death of his mother. His mother was so much a part of his life, especially since his lair was in the basement of her house and she took care of him as if he was still her little boy, she even had several nic-names for him. But he did have some happy events, despite the death of his mother. He reconnected with a girlfriend from when he was a student at Woodview Elementary and married her. He also adopted her son, from a previous relationship and he loved his stepson very much and they did all the things that fathers and sons do, like he took him on fishing trips a lot and they used to throw footballs and baseballs back and forth to each other. The boy's natural father had abandoned him and his mother so he considered Chuck his real father, and I agree. That boy is now my son-in-law. He married my oldest daughter, Stephanie and they had two kids. So, Chuck and I started off as bitter enemies but ended up being not only the best of friends, but also co-grandparents, with one of them inheriting Wordgirl powers from both me and my daughter. So Chuck is the grandfather of a third generation Wordgirl. Something that we never would've thought about when we used to battle each other. Just like Butcher, I helped Chuck with his vocabulary as well. He knew more than Butcher did and his grammer was good, but he was very forgetful and I had to help him because of that. He had some weapons in his arsenol, but he used a condiment shooter the most and he filled it with many and all types of condiments and they may seem, at first, to not be effected enough, but they were, especially the time he used peanut butter. He also tried to get honest jobs, but none of them ever lasted too long, with the exception of his sandwich shop. He also went through a phase when he changed his identity and called himself, "The Handsome Panther". He was so adorable in that outfit and he even had a theme song. He died at the age of 65, a little while before Doc's death, by the same person who ended the lives of Butcher, Doc, and, possibly, more of my villains. That person thought he was doing the world a favor by ending the lives of villains, but villains are people and people should be given the chance to change and my villains did change their lives around. I was told that his brother, Brent died at the age of 83. Anyway, this is all I can say about Chuck, the Evil Sandwich-Making Guy. I love you, too, Chuck.

And so The Butcher, Dr. Two-Brains, Granny May, Tobey, and Chuck, the Evil Sandwich-Making Guy were the first five villains I battled. I did face more villains later, but the Fab Five will always hold a special place in my heart.

After battling with only The Fab Five, I started to face new villains. And while the first five consisted of three men, a young boy, and a elderly woman, the new villains consisted of a variety of different people from different walks of life, ages, and one wasn't even human.

The first new villain I came to battle was the non-human being, known as the Energy Monster. He was created by accident in the power plant and fed on energy, hence the name. The more energy he consumed, the bigger he got and the only way to defeat him was to either let him burn himself out or let water vaporize him or inject him into the main power grid. I didn't battle him as often as other villains, but I usually ended up battling him on my birthday, which happened twice. And even though he wasn't human, he did have a strong personality and emotions and was kept in prison with the rest of the villains, but it was kind of hard to keep him locked up forever. He did help out when we battled Miss Power and I thank him, along with the rest of the villains. I don't know if he ever truly died, but he's no longer around anymore. I don't think anyone can really kill him, so he may show up again someday. When he does, I don't know. Since I'm 90 years old, I can't really battle him anymore. I wonder if he'll remember me? Well, I do have a daughter and a granddaughter, and even a great-granddaughter who can keep him at bay. And you know, as big and scary as he was, he actually found a friend/owner, who kept him as a pet for a little bit. And I can't say that I hated him, because I don't hate any of my villains. Could I call him a friend? I don't know that either. I haven't battled him since I was 11 or 12. Well, if you're still out there, Energy Monster, I've returned home again and like the rest of the villains, I miss you too and, despite what you might think, I do care about you, just like I care about the other villains. You don't have to be human to be my friend.

The next villain, or should I say villains, were Mr. Big and his assistant Leslie. Mr. Big was born, Shelly Smalls, and I don't know anything about his childhood, but when he was a younger man, I found out that he was a member of a band in the 1980's. I saw the video once and he did very good, actually. Mr. Big was determined to be very wealthy and he was the wealthiest of my villains. He used mind-control a lot to get what he wanted, which was power and money. He even became mayor for a few days and had Capt. Huggyface and I banned from the city. He tried to use mind-control to win an election. He even used mind-control on other villains, which was against the rules. I never really battled him the way I battled the previous villains, but he did have an assistant who fought his battles for him. Her name was Leslie and she was very loyal to him and no matter what he asked her to do, no matter how demeaning it was, she obeyed him. I don't know if she ever really cared for him or if he really cared for her, in the beginning or not. Leslie may seem very boring and not much of a fighter, but she was a black belt in martial arts, a great gymnast, and who knows what else. She was also a devoted fan of Pretty Princess, just like I am. And I told her my secret before telling her boss because I was able to trust her more. She was also very smart and she's one of the few villains I didn't have to help with vocabulary. Her boss, Mr. Big, on the other hand, I had to help out a lot. The sad thing is, Mr. Big was a very good business man and had the potential to become very successful, but he used mind-control and used his business skills for evil. As the years went by, he decided to retire from his job and was hoping that Leslie would stay and take care of him for the rest of his life. She did that for awhile and then she met someone and got married and had two kids. But it wasn't a happy marriage. Her husband wasn't kind to her and he often would abuse her and he ignored his children. And even though she no longer worked for Mr. Big, she often went to visit him, while he was living in the retirement home, after selling his mansion and his building. She was happy when she was spending time with Mr. Big and he began to cherish their friendship. He even began to enjoy spending time with her son, before that, he was never too fond of children. As a child superhero, I have experience with that. But, as he got older, he found out that his friends are more important than his money and once Leslie was divorced from her abusive husband, Mr. Big moved out of the retirement home and moved in with Leslie and her two children. And he was very protective of them and one time, Leslie's husband tried to kill her and Mr. Big used his mind-control on him and made him leave her alone. It was the only time I can think of where he used his mind-control to help someone other than himself. It took me awhile to tell him my secret identity, but he was one of the last villains I told, after telling Butcher, Chuck, Leslie, and other villains. He died from a stroke a little while after I told him. He was 67 when he died. His friend/former assistant Leslie was later killed by her ex-husband when she was only 57 and her daughter had to be raised by some of Leslie's friends. Well, that's all I have to say about the dynamic business duo, Mr. Big and Leslie. I still love you both and you're both still in my prayers.

The next villain I began to battle was Eileen, aka the Birthday Girl. Like Tobey, Eileen was a child villain as well. Violet and I first met her while we were flying kites in the park and she asked Violet if she could fly her kite. Violet, being willing to share, was ok with it, but when she asked for it back, Eileen wouldn't give it back. You see, Eileen had one very awesome super power. She could grow very big, at will and her skin turned green as she increased in size. And what made her a villain was the fact that she used her power to get what she wanted. We called her the Birthday Girl because she had been given the idea that her birthday was everyday and that meant that she could do whatever she wanted and could get whatever she wanted. And if she didn't get her way, her powers would activate. She did many things that made me upset. Like stealing Huggy away, crashing my first slumber party and making it her own, forcing Violet to be her fieldtrip buddy after Violet and I had buddied up, and she did many other things as well. And the other thing that used to annoy me about her was the fact that she used to speak with baby talk, and I had to correct her like all the time, even more so than Butcher. But there was one incident that I would never forget was the time she framed me for stealing a bunch of Pretty Princess figurines from the jewelry store. She had stolen them but made it look like I was the one who stole them. You see, that was another thing she did a lot. She turned on the sweet baby talk and charm and people would fall for that, almost the same way when Granny May would turn on the sweet-old-lady charm. But, despite all of that, Eileen did have some good qualities about her. She got along with Violet very well. I mean, who wouldn't? And when she did do something generous, she would return to normal and that was how I used to defeat her. I never threw a punch at her or any villain. She also had a pet for a short time, the Energy Monster. Sounds weird, but she did care for him very well, like the same way I took care of Huggy. And as soon as we began middle school, she became a nicer person to the point where she would defend her friends against others. Like the time in the 7th grade, she had seen Violet get hurt by these kids and Eileen really didn't like that and she went to defend her, but she ended up getting expelled. But she later joined us for 8th grade. As the years went by, I considered Eileen one of my best friends. There was also a time when she was dating the cousin of my ex and he tried to force her to have sex with him by feeding her the date-rape drug, but Tobey and I rescued her. Eileen is also the second villain to know my secret identity. She later got married and had three children, with only one of them inheriting her powers. She also became a Party Planner and she helped me and a lot of our friends and families plan our weddings and birthday parties, etc. The funny thing about that is my brother married the sister of Eileen's husband, which means that Eileen and I were family and we are co-aunts for my niece and nephew. Before I left to go back to Lexicon at age 50, she and her husband went to live in her birth town. Then, I heard from her son, Travis, that she had died from an aneurysm in her brain, at the age of 64, due to the fact that her powers came from some kind of radiation due to being exposed to toxic chemicals when she was a small child. I guess, it finally caught up to her and killed her. That's one of the reasons her mother insisted that she celebrate her birthday everyday, because you never know what's going to happen tomorrow and life is something to be celebrated everyday, even though she overdid it and used that as a way to get what she wanted. So, that's all I have to say about Eileen, the Birthday Girl. Happy Birthday, Eileen! You're still one of my best friends. MINE, MINE, MINE! That's what she used to say all the time when she used her powers.

The next villain I began to battle was the Amazing Rope Guy. He was, by far, one of the easiest villains for me to battle. My daughter, Stephanie even battled him and found him to be an easy villain to battle. I hate to say it, but no one respected him enough, not even myself. There was a time when he helped me battle one of Tobey's robots and I didn't thank him or gave him any recognition for that and, for that, I'm sorry. I know it's too late to say that to him, because he died while I was living on Lexicon, but I hope he's listening to me. Once he stopped being a villain, he used his talents and began to perform and I have to say, he is very talented with ropes. He tried once before when I was in the 5th grade. And he was the only villain who didn't get to help in the Miss Power battle and I'm sure that he wanted to be a part of it. When he went to villain meetings, I was told by Tobey that he would often stand in the back of the room, isolated from the other villains. He was always in jail. There were two things he did do that was considered big. One time, he wanted to get recognition, so he pretended to be other villains in order to achieve that, but it failed. Then the second time, he teamed up with another minor villain, but was duped by him as well. I feel bad for Amazing Rope Guy and I just like to say to him that I do like you and I'm sorry that I didn't thank you for helping me that one time with Tobey's Mobot. You did a very good job with that and if I had a key to the city to give to you, I would do so. Thanks Amazing Rope Guy. You are, in fact, Amazing.

The next villain I encountered was the Whammer. He was something else. Very loud and destructive. His powers involved him whamming his fists together, causing powerful vibrations that were able to destroy things, depending on how intense they were. To this day, I have no idea how his powers came to be. I don't know if he was born with them or not. He started off being a sidekick/partner to many other villains, mainly Chuck, Butcher, and Amazing Rope Guy. Soon, he wanted to do things for himself, so he decided to go to villain school and learned under the authority of, yet, another soon-to-be villain. At one time, he even asked to be my sidekick. He had a résumé and everything, very impressive. He wasn't the sharpest villain and there were times he did things that seemed not too bright. One time though, he made this very impressive flying vehicle, The Wham Ship. Very impressive. But over the years, after he stopped his villainy ways, he became a good friend, he even loved being around my kids when they were little. He was also the last villain to know my secret. He was always full of happiness and enthusiasm and a lot of times, it drove the other villains crazy. The only time he seemed very upset was when his former teacher died. I don't know when Whammer died, but my friend, Violet said he died when he was in his late 70's I think but she doesn't remember how he died. All I have to say to the Whammer is that, "You were very whammer, Whammer!"

The next villain I faced was really more of a minor villain, even more so than Amazing Rope Guy. His name was Glen Furlblam and he was Dr. Two-Brains' #1 fan and wanted to take Doc's place. He and I never really saw eye to eye. While Doc and I would always cherish our friendship, Glen never really cared for me and he didn't really like Doc after a while either. You could say that he became Doc's personal villain. The first time he tried to take over Doc's lair, he had brought vicious cats and, knowing how scared Doc was of cats, Glen used them as a means of keeping Doc his prisoner. The second time we battled, he had begun to call himself Dr. Three-Brains, as a means to upstage Dr. Two-Brains. Years later, he didn't like the idea that Dr. Two-Brains had gotten married and became a father. So Glen attempted to have Doc return to his old life by kidnapping his daughter twice. Once when she was 3 and another time when she was a little older. Then another time, when Doc needed surgery to remove his mouse-brain, Glen stole all the money out of Doc's wife's bank account so they couldn't pay for the surgery. After Doc became Steven Boxleitner again, Glen ceased in bothering him and his family and we never heard from him again. I know he still lived in Fair City, but that was all. I know he's died because I saw his tombstone in the cemetery.

The next villain I faced was The Coach. He wasn't really powerful like the previous villains, but he was able to trick other villains into stealing things for him. His first student was The Whammer. Later, he opened a Villain School and trained four more villains. The weirdest thing he ever did was ask three of his students to steal Micheal Angelo's whistle so he could take over the city. But what he didn't know was that the whistle was nothing but a dog whistle and the only Huggy and I were the only ones hypnotized by it because of my super hearing. I'm not sure about Huggy though. He died at the age of 68.

The next villain I faced was Lady Redundant Woman. Her real name was Beatrice Bixby and she was the only villain to have a real job that didn't involve something illegal. She worked at the local Copy Shop for a very nice man named, Dave. To this day, I still never understood why she was envious of him. He was so kind to her. I mean, she was a villain and often committed crimes and went to jail, but he never fired her. Most employers would've fired her at the beginning of her villain career. Anyway, she also had a prized copy-machine that she adored like her own child. She had gotten her powers from it when she hit a weird button that said, "Merge with Copier". What happened was she got the ability to make paper copies of herself and many other people. She also had the ability to speak redundant, which means that she was able to say the same thing in many ways. For example, if she said a word like 'laugh', then she would say 'chuckle' and 'chortle'. All three words mean the same thing. She was also one of the few villains who didn't have trouble with their vocabulary. She one time made a paper copy of a famous painting, called the Royal Dandy, that she wanted and then the copied version came to life and he became a nuisance to everyone, especially Lady Redundant Woman. He called her 'Mum'. And another time, she was trying to rob the museum and the Butcher was trying to rob the same artifact and she had made a copy of herself, but her copy fell in love with Butcher. I'm talking about Butcher's wife, Dupey. At the beginning, Lady Redundant Woman didn't approve of their relationship. Later, she needed Dupey to help her and then Dupey had decided to break up with Butcher because she was a vegetarian. But then, at my wedding, they reunited and after that, their relationship grew and they later married and they adopted Lil'Mittens 2. They remained married until Lady Redundant Woman decided to unmerge herself from the copier, thus ending her identity as Lady Redundant Woman. Dupey was a paper copy and so when Beatrice unmerged herself, Dupey disappeared and became a pile of copy paper, which Butcher placed in a frame. As for Lady Redundant Woman, she also found love and married Dr. Two-Brains. They also had a daughter, named Rebecca, after me. Their daughter later married Violet's and Scoops' son, Liam and they had four kids of their own. While Lady Redundant Woman was a villain, I was always able to get along with her. Even though once she made a evil copy of myself and my mother, Sally Botsford. I felt that she wasn't all that evil. And I sometimes saw her as like an older, rebellious sister and I used to ask her advice about things. I told her things and she told me things. We became such good friends that she asked me to be her Maid of Honor at her wedding and she was one of my bridesmaids at mine. And I was told that she died at the age of 78. Now she and Doc are together for all eternity. And someday, I will be reunited with Tobey, just like they were reunited. Well, that's Beatrice Bixby-Boxleitner aka, Lady Redundand Woman.

The next villain I faced was a very minor villain, even more so than Amazing Rope Guy and Glen. His name was the Masked Meat Marauder and he was more like a rival for Butcher. He had the same meat powers, but fired more sophisticated meat products. When he was caught by the police and I, our jail only had space for one meat villain, and of course we kept Butcher here in our jail. The Masked Meat Marauder was sent to a jail in the next town over called, Meatropolis. Butcher wanted to be sent there too. Anyway, no matter how fancy the meat products that Masked Meat Marauder shot, he would never replace Butcher's special place in my heart.

The next villain I encountered was one of Coach's villain school students, the one who never really graduated. His name was Timmy Timbo. He was one of the villains I never really battled much at all. I think I only battled him like two or three times. And he did participate in the Miss Power battle. His only power was napping a lot, which is why I hardly battled him. And when the Coach retired from his villain school, Timmy Timbo just gave up being a villain. I'm not too sure what he did later though. He was kind of a nice guy and he ended up married to another villain school student. He died not too long ago at the age of 93.

Another villain from Coach's Villain School was Big Left-Hand Guy. To this day, I really don't know how he ever got a left hand that huge. It was like three times bigger than his right hand and it weighed him down on the left side of his body. But he was able to hail a cab or paddy-wagon with it easily. He is one of Coach's Villain School graduates and he did become a very well-known villain. He was also very smart when it came to vocabulary. I think he died at the age of 88.

Another of Coach's villain school students was the next villain I encountered. Her name was Ms. Question. At the beginning, she didn't have any super powers, other than the fact that she spoke only in questions. When I was a kid, I guess I found it irritating, but I now think that she was very talented in doing that. I was told that the Coach flunked her out of villain school on the day that Big Left-Hand Guy graduated and she was told to leave. But she got her super powers that night when she was struck by some weird lighting in the shape of a question mark. And from then on, she became one very powerful villainess. She would hover on a question mark that appeared from the question mark on her shirt. And she shot question marks at people, making them question things or become befuddled. She even used her powers on Huggy and myself. She even used her powers on the other villains a few times. The day I told Leslie my secret, I told Ms. Question as well. I remember this one time, it was the last time I actually faced her in battle. She had tried to rob the grocery store and she had also befuddled Tobey. I had just found out that I was pregnant with Stephanie and I had chased her out of the grocery store and into the street, and while she wasn't looking and hovering on her question mark, she flew into a truck that was speeding down the street and she was struck. The truck driver was a hit and run driver. She was seriously injured and Tobey and I had called the paramedics to get her to the hospital. From that day forward, she and I became less like enemies and more like friends. And she, like the other villains, decided to give up crime and she went to work for the Baker, one of Butcher's friends. She and Leslie were best friends and I think she was Leslie's Maid of Honor at her wedding. When Leslie needed a place to stay after getting away from her husband, she and her kids went to live with Ms. Question. Like a lot of the villains, I had to help Ms. Question with her vocabulary. And another thing she did was once she stole one of Tobey's robots and used him to block a bridge. She later married Timmy Timbo a few months after Tobey and I left for Lexicon and they were married until her death at the age of 76. All I have to say to Ms. Question is this. Are you resting in peace? Are you happy? Do you still consider me your friend, like I consider you to be mine?

The next villain I met was a wanna-be game show host, who used game show promises to get people to give them their money. I'm talking about Seymore Orlando Smooth. And I first battled him when he had almost tricked my mother into letting him wipe out her bank account. He even hoodwinked my brother TJ out of his birthday money. He even had his brothers help out sometimes. While Seymore was somewhat smart and intelligence, his brothers weren't all that smart at all. My mother really liked the way he spoke and, looking back on it, he did sound very snazzy when he spoke. His powers consisted of sparkling white teeth that shined brightly enough to blind you. And he also used hair gel and Fool's Gold chains. He died about the same time the Coach did, but he was a little older, at the age of 73 and I was told that only his brothers showed up to his funeral and that made me feel bad for him. Mr. Smooth, I'm sorry that I didn't show up at your funeral, but I hope that you're resting in peace.

The next villain I met was Steve McClean. He wasn't too dangerous, but he made a habit of robbing people and then cleaning up the place he robbed. When I first encountered him, he had become somewhat of a celebrity with the townsfolks. Even I was charmed by him. He had this moustache that made him so irresistible to look at, He was downright snazzy. But his voice was not what you would expect. He became a major rival for Dr. Two-Brains and Doc went so far as to place a fake moustache on himself and on his mouse brain. He then did some kind of rap performance to get people to notice him again. Anyway, I battled him here and there. I think he died at the age of 80. I'm still not sure about that.

The next villain I met was Nocan the Contrarian and he had a habit of speaking contrary. Whatever someone would say, he would say the opposite. I only battled him like two or three times and he wasn't from Fair City. He used to come here by sea, trying to get back to Contraria, his homeland. He kind of reminded me of Thor or Hercules. He had a sword that he used to fight with that sent out vibrations into the Earth. His ship that he traveled on looked like a Vikings' ship. He died at sea, I was told. I don't remember how old he was though. Rest in peace, Nocan.

The next villain I met was Invisi-Bill. He was the last student in Coach's Villain school and he was also Big Left-Hand Guy's best friend. They even shared an apartment together. They even quit their villain careers at the same time. They would sometimes team up to rob people. As his name suggest, Invisi-Bill had the ability to turn himself invisible at will. That sounded like a very cool power, but he used it for evil and that's what made him a villain. He graduated from Villain school the same day that Big Left-Hand Guy did and the day that Ms. Question acquired her superpowers. Invisi-Bill died not too long ago either. I think he died a few years before Timmy Timbo did.

The next villain I met was the father of the Butcher, Kid Potato. Like his son, he shot food products. But instead of meat, he shot potato products. Huggy and I only battled him twice. I think he was one of the classic villains before I started my superhero career, along with Granny May and a few others. He really wanted Butcher and him to team up in a father/son villain team. I think he did that because that way, he can spend time with his son. Despite him being a villain, he was a loving father who really loved his son. I'm guessing he was a loving husband too. I remember the team name his father came up with, "Meat and Potatos". Actually, I'm starting to get a little hungry thinking about that. Anyway, Kid Potato died while Huggy, Tobey, and I were living on Lexicon. I heard it from his son when we got back. I think Butcher died the same basic way his father died. Well, I know that they are now together, along with Butcher's mother and Kid Potato's wife. Now, whether or not she had any powers like her husband and son had, I'll never know.

The next villain I got to know was Victoria Best. And like Tobey and Eileen, before her, she was also a child villain. I met her at an awards ceremony and she had won just about every trophy but one. Victoria's parents had told her that since their last name is 'Best' than that is what they had to be. The best at everything. Victoria had a mom, dad, a younger brother, a pet poodle and, later on, a gorilla pet, named General Smoochington. She and her parents had eyes that glowed red and they were able to pick things up with these red eye beams. I don't know if her brother had that power or not. She was also very good on the recorder and there was this one tune that she would play that would hypnotize anyone, including robots. She had a few catch phrases like, "Eyes on the prize" and "Put your mind to it". A lot of times, I think she just wanted to impress her parents. When we started the 6th grade, her attitude was beginning to change for the better. She was still arrogant as ever and she was dating the best boy in the school, Hunter Throbheart, but she was getting better. In the 8th grade she had organized us into a singing band and we won a Battle of the Bands contest. In the 9th grade, she had a nervous breakdown and was on the brink of committing suicide when I came and talked to her parents and from then on, they stopped pressuring her as much as they did. And since then, she and I had become very good friends. She is also the third villain to know my secret. She later married Hunter Throbheart and they had a daughter, Sophia. Sophia is now married to Eileen's son, Travis and they have three kids. The saddest thing to happen was the time Victoria was diagnosed with breast cancer. She had gotten it from her mother, who had also died from it. Victoria had beaten the cancer at one point, but when she was 45, her cancer had come back and she wasn't able to fight it as well as before and she died. She was the first in our group to die. I will never forget Victoria Best-Throbheart. We started off as enemies, but ended up being best of friends. Victoria, you are the best.

The next villain I battled was Capt. Tangent. And as his name implies, when he talked, he had the tendency to talk off in tangents. That means, he'll start talking about something and then end up talking about something else. Anyway, he had this thing about pirates and he used to work at this restaurant with a pirate theme but was fired. But he soon acquired a magnetic pirate's hook and used it to rob people of their doubloons. He had also gotten a parrot sidekick and later, he had gotten three dogs to use in his crime sprees. He wasn't one of my most famous villains but, thanks to him, he helped to get my friend, Scoops a story in the Big City Times. Capt. Tangent soon stopped his villainous ways and opened a pirate-themed theme park or restaurant. I forget what it was, but it was pirate-themed. He died at the age of 87.

The next villain I had to deal with was Hal Hardbargen. He wasn't a villain like the others. He actually sold the supplies for their weopons and such. At one time, he had sold things to me as well and it was the only time, Granny May and I teamed up. That was a special moment. He would sell villains weapons that would, in the case of Chuck, break down. And he sold items to Doc, but then tell me about Doc's crime ideas. He did that because he knew he would get a lot of money from them. He also had, on his wall, a gallery of villains either from other towns or from a long time ago. Hal also had cyborg-type features. An eye that looks mechanical and a metal arm with a claw at the end. I don't know if he was ever married. He told Chuck he was, but he could've been lying to him. Anyway, Hal died a little before Mr. Big had.

The last regular villain I encountered was the Learnerer. He had the idea of adding extra suffixes to the ends of words, which really bugged me at the time. I only fought him a few times as well. He must've had a great photographic memory because all he had to do is learn something once and then he'll know it. And that's how he was able to defeat me in the beginning, until I came up with the idea of not attacking him and that worked because he couldn't really fight on his own. After he quit being a villain, he sort of disappeared and I only saw him once in awhile around town. He too, died a while ago. I'm not sure when though.

Well, these are all of my regular villains. But I did have one more villain to deal with but she didn't come from Earth.

This villain was TamaSa, otherwise known as Miss Power. She came to Earth, hoping to take it over by having me help her. She had tricked me into letting her train me and I did learn some things from her, like my ice breath. But then she taught me that the quickest way to defeat my villains was to use my words in a harsher way, like a bully. I tried that on several villains, Chuck, Tobey, and Doc. But when she threatened Doc and several other people, I decided that what she was teaching me was wrong and I told her that. That was a big mistake on my part, but later, my mother, Sally Botsford had rallied the city's villains and they went to battle her. They lost that battle, but I came in and defeated her with using nothing but words. Miss Power was from the planet Terro and she had a sidekick, Colonel Gigglecheeks. She was soon caught and spent the rest of her life on a prison planet and Gigglecheeks was sent into exile. Her younger brother and sister tried to get revenge, but they too were defeated. Miss Power later died on the prison planet and, before she died, she had apologized for everything she's done to me and to a lot of others. I forgave her. I don't know if any other planet forgave her or not. Rest in peace, Miss Power.

Well, there you have it. My villains. I may, if you would like me to, name them once again.

The Butcher, Dr. Two-Brains, Granny May, Tobey McCallister the Third, Chuck, the Evil Sandwich-Making Guy, the Energy Monster, Mr. Big and Leslie, Eileen, the Birthday Girl, Amazing Rope Guy, The Whammer, Glen Furlblam, The Coach, Lady Redundant Woman, The Masked Meat Marauder, Timmy Timbo, Big Left-Hand Guy, Ms. Question, Seymore Smooth, Steve McClean, Nocan the Contrarian, Invisi-Bill, Kid Potato, Victoria Best, Capt. Tangent, Hal Hardbargen, The Learnerer, and Miss Power and Gigglecheeks.

Each and every one of these villains mean something special to me. One of them, Tobey, became my loving husband. The rest became my very best friends. I will never, ever forget them.

(After writing this chapter of her book, Becky decides to take a much needed break for a long time.)

Violet: Hey Becky, are you done with this latest chapter?

Wordgirl/Becky: I sure am. Violet, I'm going to take a break from writing for awhile and just enjoy those family and friends that are still alive.

Violet: It's your book, Becky. You get to decide how long you'll take to finish it. How much longer do you have?

Wordgirl/Becky: Not much more. I just finished writing about my villains. I decided to include Tobey in this chapter. He was a villain but then became my husband and the father of our children.

Violet: Eileen and Victoria were villains too and they became two of our best friends.

Wordgirl/Becky: That's true. I was thinking of having dinner with my kids and their families.

Violet: You should go and do that. You should cherish your kids because you never know when you or they might die.

Wordgirl/Becky: I'm still sorry for the loss of your son, Violet.

Violet: Thanks. Do you want to go and visit our loved ones at the cemetery?

Wordgirl/Becky: Ok and then after that, I was thinking that we can go over to the Wordgirl Museum.

Violet: I haven't been there in years.

(At the cemetery, Becky had bought a huge amount of flowers to lay on the graves of not just her family, but also her friends and villains.)

Wordgirl/Becky: (After laying flowers on the graves of her villains.) Guys, I just want to say that I had just written a whole chapter about you all. And if I missed any details, I'm sorry. But I want to let you know that I can't write enough words to express my feelings for you all. I just don't have enough paper to do so. (She then lets a tear drop onto the ground.) I love you all.

Violet: Becky, I'm ready to go now.

Wordgirl/Becky: Ok. (Looks back at the graves.) I'll try to be back as much as I can. Thanks for everything you all. I love you, especially, Tobey. (She then throws him a kiss.)

(She and Violet leave the cemetery and spend the rest of the afternoon at the Wordgirl Museum/Library.)

(Becky then decides to take a break from writing her story for about two years, for when she and Violet are 92 years old.)

The End…for now

Still, more to come…
