Friday Night Fights: "The War!" - Prize Fight: All Those Wonderful Toys!




It's come down to this: Friday Night Fights: "The War!"


Our host, Spacebooger has given us one rule for tonight's special round: That the fight feature a lot of collateral damage. 


Tonight's battle royale comes from Fantastic Four#580 by Jonathan Hickman, Neil Edwards, and Andrew Currie. The setup: Johnny Storm is taking his nephew Franklin Richards and Franklin's pal Leech to a toy store, where he finds old FF ally The Impossible Man unveiling his new toy line, including action figures, plushees and "Impossible Fists". Unfortunately, the toy store he's partnered up with is run by old X-Men nemesis Arcade, who claims he's reformed.


In the words of Jerry Seinfeld: Oh, THIS will end well.


Sure enough...




LOOK OUT BELOW!!! 






Impy learns why they're called "action figures".....



....and Arcade's about to learn why you do not want to make the kid with the reality-altering powers ANGRY.




All that's left is our friendly neighborhood Impossible Man's reaction to all this carnage.



Tonight's fight music for this special round is by none other than Aerosmith.
