My undying pet-peeve is: the Canadian government is actually going to put its super-hero defense in the hands of (1) a 13-year-old [Purple Girl]; (2) a "doctor" who used to work for Lionel Jeffries, (3) a "strongman" who is supposed to be a biophysicist but doesn't accomplish much [Sasquatch], and; (4) a leader who is delusional. Once DreamQueen is introduced, it does get better.
