THE FACE
Franc’s superpower is his face.

ON TIME

WHO IS THE
EVIL CLOT?
The thing that makes the evil Clot so dangerous is that he attacks quietly, without any warning.
He strikes by blocking the flow of blood to the brain, starving it of oxygen and nutrients. Causing the person to suddenly have one or more of the 112 stroke symptoms. This is known as a Stroke.
