A steel-drum rendition of a typical nightly news theme can be heard - a familiar antennaed silhouette sits behind a desk, holding a stack of papers. As the lights come up, the three-piece suit and bad toupee are revealed.
"Good evening. Our top story tonight - famed comic book writer Mark Millar has been killed in the Marvel Universe, causing a spontaneous outpouring of joy amongst the heroes of that world. When asked to comment on the seemingly out-of-character celebration of a human being's death, several sources simply shrugged and said that it made for 'a better story.' More on that as it develops."
He looks to his co-anchor, a familiar mute kewpie doll in a red superhero jumpsuit - ALSO wearing a bad toupee. "I'm Ambush Bug, and this is my co-anchor, Cheeks. Welcome to WTDC Channel 5 News. Other hard-hitting stories, sports, and weather, all coming up next. Stay tuned."

[A spinning battery is shown, with the familiar three-note musical sting.]
Re: Commercial Break

A white dog, wearing a cape, is in hot pursuit - the wagon driver steers into a cabinet, only to have the dog effortlessly smash through the cabinet in its zeal.
Narration: ".. for Super-Pets."
The wagon is quickly smashed by the dog, who begins to devour the edible cargo while the driver flees.

"Other headlines this evening - master time-travelling villain, Per Degaton, is on the loose again, using futuristic resources to attack heroes throughout time and space. This reporter spoke to one of the sources who supplied the mad chrononaut - but the supplier mostly declined to comment, other than to say he sold certain rare radioactive materials."
"When asked how much he charged Per Degaton, he replied simply that he sells by the pound instead."

He shuffles the pile of papers in his hands.
"And now, for a peek at Sports, we head over to sports correspondent, the Sportsmaster!"

".. not that kind of Hot Topic. Oh. Oh! Wait, that might be the right graphic. A recent topic of discussion is underage heroes. Teenage vigilantes. Barely post-adolescent bullet shields. Er.. sidekicks."
"I did some man-on-the-street interviews, asking folks what they thought about minors running around and fighting crime - here's what they had to say."
