An Epic Tale Part 2: Choosing a Side-Kick

Bill had first encountered Diet Coke as a child and its sugarless taste had haunted his taste buds ever since. His fear however was not based purely on a bad taste. When he was 8, his Mother was killed after choking on a diet coke bottle top. Then 2 years later he was orphaned when a crate of the stuff fell on his father’s head during a trip to Aldi.

Unfortunately, Bill was no Clark Kent, He was no Peter Parker and he was no Bruce Wayne. He was just plain old Bill Board with a big podgy belly and a love for anything deep-fried. This was going to be tough. If he was to take on the sugar-free giant, he would need help.

So Bill gathered together both of his friends and held auditions for a side-kick. Bill knew that a side-kick had to be much weaker and much more camp than the actual hero, so this ruled out the ultra-strong, ultra-masculine Alex Blackburne, meaning that Jonny Calvert won by default. Bill didn’t particularly like Jonny, and he liked him even less when he revealed that his super-hero name was “The Rubber Fist”, but he would have to do. Bill was running out of time...
