There’s mischief, mayhem and love in the air around our glorious Millennium City these days! And I, as your devoted gossip hound, have been tracking down all the juiciest stories.
Lately the lovely lady Witchcraft has been seen squired around town on the muscular arm of none other than our very own Defender. The two made eyes at each other between the stacks at the Magic Lantern Bookstore recently. A close source says that Defender gifted the lovely lady with a very special book: ancient spells or perhaps romantic poetry? We know what we think….
It’s no surprise to learn that the stunning Sapphire is stealing hearts again, but could it be that someone has finally stolen hers? Rumor has it that a particular batty fox is offering her more cubic zirconium than you could shake a stick at and is sending her extravagant gifts accompanied by letters that always make her smile. Or could it be Ironclad who has earned her affections? The two appeared together recently at a charity fundraiser. Is this simple team camaraderie, or were her brilliant smiles just a bit more brilliant when she looked at the noble exile? Of course, there is her boon confidante, that dapper and debonair Kinetik. Just friends, or something more?
Handsome Harmon was named Millennium City’s most eligible bachelor in a recent poll among our readers. James Harmon IV certainly has all the style and panache any lady would love. With his blond locks, blue eyes and chiseled jaw, who could ask for more? Well, maybe a private jet, a mansion or two and a fortune to keep you in comfort for the rest of your life. This CEO extraordinaire is, hands down, an excellent catch. Whichever lucky lady catches him will have to be spectacular, to tear him away from his playboy lifestyle and days of bachelor style leisure.
WFFA’s “Millennium City This Morning” was visited by none other than that most unpredictable of supers, Foxbat! Our favorite foxy bat swooped onto the stage, upsetting a soufflé making segment with local guest chef Ernesto del’Scafidi, and declaring his intent to steal the world’s largest sapphire and make a gift of it to superstar Sapphire at her upcoming Club Caprice appearance. He finished off by gallantly noting that no jewels could shine so bright as her eyes, and then disappeared just as the police arrived. They do say love makes fools of us all, but Foxbat could well make any woman a willing fool! I know I’d take Foxbat over soufflé any day.
That most superb of super hero teams, Champions, may be looking to expand their line-up. A little bird tells me that they are actively checking out up and coming superheroes in Millennium City. So, shine up your shoes, put on your best crime fighting ensemble and get to getting the bad guys if you want a future among our super hero elite!
