Moment of Awesome - Doreen Green: Accidentally exposed to a form of “superweed”, the New Mutants helped a group of hippies delay some debt collectors headed their way. Doreen Green - the Amazing Squirrel Girl - enlists some special help. File:Doreen.jpg Doreen giggled. One of the local squirrels had just said something extremely hilarious, though she couldn’t recall it in English right now for the life of her. Which was totally okay, she decided. She sat in the branches and while she normally only had fifty, maybe sixty at the most, squirrels around her, there were hundreds. The jabbering was almost deafening. She stood up and held her fists to her chest in an anime-hero type of pose. She had a job to do! This was important. The next moment the fists were slightly open hands in front of her as she started laughing. The way a super villain would. Very Doctor Horrible. “Bwahahahahahahahahahaha!” and then she pointed, “Go forth, my minions!” minions was a good word for this, “Go forth!” The forest itself seemed to move, the branches of the trees creaking beneath the weight of the wave of squirrels. There was a click, and then the sound of tremolo strings flooded the forest. The wave of squirrels parted to go around the balding, bearded man standing on a fallen log and holding an ancient boombox over his head, volume cranked as Wagner's "Ride of the Valkyries" echoed through the trees. He cackled with laughter as the squirrels bounded past him, a maniacal gleam in his eye. It was this or run, and frankly, setting the squirrel army loose on the bad guys was at least a good way to die. With the music playing, the wave of squirrels continued to move forward, individuals only stopping to grab stuff to throw and Doreen? Doreen could not stop cackling as she and Monkey Joe stood high in the tree.
