Trouble in Power Paradise?

by Argus Weatherby, The Galaxy Daily Gossip

PEREZ PARK - The public adores them, the government awards them, and villains everywhere fear them. But could there be trouble brewing at Power, Incorporated?

Rumors are flying that tensions are running high amongst some of the younger members of the world-famous supergroup. And this reporter recently met with an eye witness.

"I saw them," breathed Bertha Jenkins, a local shop owner excitedly. "I was taking out the trash -- you know my shop is one of the few remaining in Perez Park after the uh, undesirables took over. But anyway, I had just emptied the last bin and I looked up. I was so shocked that my chewing gum fell out of my gaping mouth!" she continued. "Judo Lad was hitting Power.Boy with a baseball bat -- I simply couldn't believe it! At least I think it was Power.Boy, could have been Power.Lad -- I never could tell them boys apart. And there were all of these Skulls criminals just standing there, looking on."

Embarrassing indeed.

Calls from this reporter were not returned by Judo Lad and Power.Boy. However, an official statement released to the press included this comment from the supergroup's leader, Power.Woman:

"We appreciate the concern and support the citizens of Paragon City, but want to clarify that there are no rifts between our younger members -- after all, we're not only a team, we're a supergroup. We believe this is just another attempt by Sake Bomb and Fire.Widow to discredit our younger heroes. But it won't work. And besides, Power.Boy is a healer, not a divider."

That remains to be seen.

And fighting photo with photo, Power.Woman released this official photograph along with her statement to the press.

You decide, dear readers -- trouble in paradise?

Stay tuned for further updates on this exciting development.
