The News From Poughkeepsie – Day 92

Lesser known superheroes:

Mary-Ann tells everyone squids raised her, but that’s not the truth. The truth is, she just loves them, almost as much as she loves Ba Gau (she’s a double black belt). Mary-Ann is studying to be a marine biologist, and volunteers at the local squid preserve, tending to the tentacled creatures. When Dr. Cefal, who runs the preserve, is attacked on the streets, Mary-Ann decides it’s time to take matters into her own hands. In a costume designed by her best friend and cosplay enthusiast Cameron (who insists on coming along as the Gothic Lolita-styled “Octo-Pie”), Mary-Ann swears vengeance as Kid Squid!

But when it turns out that Dr. Cefal’s attackers—and Dr. Cefal herself—aren’t even human, Kid Squid and Octo-Pie may be in over their heads.
