The Rad Badger

    Sneaky Tom was sneaking around the warehouse, looking for some stuff to steal. He'd heard the radio chatter about the new vigilante roaming the city, seeking to put an end to injustice. It didn't worry Tom, though. There were far worse criminals than he; they'd draw this vigilante's attention.

    As Tom was prying open a wooden crate, the lights in the warehouse shut off. "Aw come on!" Tom shouted. He put his pry bar down and rummaged through his bag for his flashlight. Suddenly a lone ceiling light shone down on a shadow figure standing on top of a nearby pile of crates. Tom looked up at the figure and beheld a muscular outline. The head was unusual, though. Ears pointed from the top, and the face was quite elongated. "No! You're supposed to go after the big-time guys! Not us small-crime fellows!"

    "The Rad Badger tolerates no injustice in this city!" the shadow figure boomed. Then the Rad Badger leaped from the pile onto Sneaky Tom and began scratching his face and nibbling at his ears. Tom screamed, flailing as he tried to escape, but the Rad Badger held firm. When the hero thought Tom had earned his punishment enough, he released the criminal from his grip and warned him "Turn aside from your evil ways, citizen! And join the cause for justice! Let me not catch you performing criminal acts again!" Then he crouched low and launched through the warehouse ceiling, raining debris onto Sneaky Tom.
