“Give it to me straight, Doc,” Antony Chumbo had been suffering from chronic headaches and stomach pains.

“It’s lead poisoning,” Doctor Salsa, medical practitioner to the superheroes, said.

“How can that be?!”

“Are you kidding me? You’re Lead Man! You run around in a lead suit and you’re surprised it’s lead poisoning?”

Antony looked straight at Doctor Salsa, “Does this mean I’ll have to stop being Lead Man?”

“If you don’t you’re going to end up like one of those other ill-fated superheroes: the Toxic Revenger, the Mercury Surfer, Asbestos-Boy . . .” Doctor Salsa trailed off, “Poor Asbestos-Boy. He never had a chance . . .”
