Superwoman in The Bulleteers was created by Dr. Muttonchops
Enjoy!


"Up in the sky,look!" "It's a bird!" "It's a plane!" "It's Superwoman!"

Faster than a speeding bullet! More powerful than a locomotive! Able to leap tall
buildings in a single bound! This amazing stranger from the planet Krypton,The
Woman of Steel, Superwoman! Posessing remarkable physical strength,Superwoman
fights a never ending battle for truth and justice! Disguised as a mild mannered
reporter,Clara Kent!

The Police Headquaters building in Metropolis stood tall and stoic, until the early
morning when a piercing whine went through the air. Suddenly, a spotlight hit the
building,growing larger and larger as the object from which the light eminated from
approached rapidly. Suddenly, a silver and red metallic object resembling a missle
came smashing through the station and zoomed into the air, it's fiery trail flaming
and sparking behind it like a gaudy fireworks display! Upon leaving the city, the
object begins to land,revealing wheels underneath.

The Planet headline the next day read ""Bullet Car Destroys Police Headquarters"
"Car Mysteriously Disappears,Police Baffled". In his office at the Planet,
Chief Editor Perry White was looking over the front page as he flicked a switch
on his intercom,saying "Send in Louis Lane and Clara Kent." The two reporters,
Louis in a dark blue suit, and Clara in a candy pink dress came out of their offices
and approached Perry's desk. "Get me a follow up on this bullet car story." Then all
of a sudden, through the open window came the sound of a man's voice on a loudspeaker.
"People of Metropolis,attention." At this everyone in the surrounding area ran to the
nearest window and listened as the threatening voice continued. "The destruction of
your police station today was only a small demonstration of our power." In the desert
area outside the city, the voice eminated from a tall cliff face "Unless your mayor
turns over the entire funds of the city treasury,power plants, firehouses and all
municipal buildings will be next." Inside the hollowed out rock formation was a giant
room with a desk at the far end. At it were three hooded figures,one was at a microphone
delivering the message of doom. These are the Bulleteers,a group of technology savvy
terrorists. The head Bulleteer continued "Take heed. This is your last warning!" he then
righted the microphone and pushed it inside the desk.

Outside City Hall a large number of people were gathered,the same thing was on their
minds:The Bulleteers,and what their Mayor was going to do about it. Inside,Louis was
interviewing His Honor himself in his office. "What are the authorities going to do
about this,Mister Mayor?" Louis asked as he got his note pad ready. Mayor Steven
Fitzgerald,a well built man with glasses and pitch black hair, fixed lane with an
earnest look and began in an authoritive tone "We won't be intimidated by criminal
threats. Law and order must and will prevail." Outside,the police and army were
setting up a barricade to prepare for the intruders' arrival. That night,as the
city clock's bell tolled it's somber notes,Louis sat at his desk,rapidly typing
the story on his typewritwer,worrying about the outcome of this whole situation,
and hoping against hope that Superwoman would be able to derail this terrible
plot of destruction.

That very evening,the story went to press,the headline read "Mayor Defies threats of
"Bulleteers" ""We'll Fight" Says Mayor,City Completely Mobilized" Soon,the Bulleteers
had a copy,and the leader tore the paper apart and threw it down with fury. The three
then headed down to a lower portion of the cavernous fortress that housed a giant
machine with pistons,when a switch was flicked,which slid the Bullet Car into view,the
Bulleteers then boarded it. The car accelerated down a long slope until it went in a
hole in the rock,a rock bridge slid open,allowing the car to exit the rock and begin it's
journey to Metropolis.

At a barricade,on the outskirts,one of the officers noticed something roaring down the
embankment,he then shouted "The Bulleteers!" as the rest lept to attention. As the
Bullet Car rolled down the hill,it sprouted wings! The officers fired at it with their
weapons,but they were no use,and the Bullet Car took to the sky! Inside the cockpit,
one Bulleteer was looking through a telescope,and he made a motion to the pilot.
At this the Bullet Car dropped out of the sky and it's wings retracted as it dive bombed
toward it's target,an electric power plant! The Bullet Car ripped right through the
plant in one fell swoop,causing an explosion and the gears to shut down, cutting off
power to Metropolis,subway cars trapped people in tunnels,drawbridges stopped before
they could finish going down, airports lights shut off,impeding the towers from directing
aircraft,and buildings including the Daily Planet's power shut down. As power failed in
the building,an engineer in the printing department ran up the stairs shouting "The
presses have stopped! The presses have stopped!". Louis and Clara raced out of the
building,Louis got into his car,and sped off just as Clara grabbed the handle. Clara
just smiled,gave Louis a wave goodbye and said strongly "This looks like a job for
Superwoman!" Clara entered a nearby phone booth and took off her turban wrap,stripped
off her dress,removed her glasses and undid the bun behind her head and emerged as
the mighty Superwoman! Superwoman then lept into the air,and headed for the action!

Seeing the bullet car headed for the Treasury building,Superwoman flew downwards as
the bullet car did the same thing,Louis arrived on the scene and looked up in suprise.
As the police futiley fired at the bullet car,the car was seconds away from the
Treasury,Superwoman landed on the building's narrow ledge,and landed a mighty blow to
the infernal vehicle,richotcheing it away! As the airial machine flew throughout the
city,it knocked the top off of a skyscraper then it buzzed Louis' car,which was then
covered in the building's debris. Superwoman swooped down and uncovered the car and
pulled it free before taking off again. Louis looked up to see Superwoman grab the
bullet car's nosecone and try to force it down. When that failed,Superwoman attempted
to climb up to the cockpit. Seeing The Woman of Steel bearing down on them,the
Bulleteers flew around wildly in the sky,until Superwoman came loose. After falling
through the sky briefly,Superwoman dropped onto a ledge and after getting her footing,
lept into the sky after the vehicle of destruction. But upon landing on the Treasury in
front of the bullet car,the car plowed into it,levelling the building and burying
Superwoman under a pile of rubble.

Louis entered the remains of the Treasury,and stepped on a giant piece of concrete,
which unbeknownst to him had Superwoman under it,who was already moving the giant
peice of rubble to free herself. Once inside,Louis saw the Bulleteers entering the
damaged Treasury vault. Moving swiftly,Louis climbed into the Bullet Car and produced
a wrench,and began to smash the controls! As Louis saw the Bulleteers enter the
vehicle,he stayed hidden until they started to take off,then he tried to squeeze
through the cockpit's roof as it began to close,but the Bulleteers saw him and
pulled him inside! As they took off,Superwoman had pushed the heavy piece of debris
off her and flew after the Bullet Car. Upon landing on one of the wings,Superwoman
began folding the wing like it was made out of construction paper! The Bulleteers
then retracted the wings,then Superwoman tried to hang onto the fuselage, but began
sliding off. Superwoman then stopped herself and turned one of the car's tail fins,
spinning the vehicle out of control,Superwoman climbed to the front of the Bullet
car and began to tear into the steel and peel it back with ease,before grabbing
Louis and placing him in the crook of her arm,and taking the Bulleteers by their hoods
in one hand and taking off. The Bullet Car then dove to the ground,crashing into a
piece of farmland in a tremendous explosion!

The Planet's headline the next day read "Superwoman Destroys "Bullet Car"" "Superwoman
Saves City From Destruction,Then Vanishes" "By Louis Lane". Clara eyed a copy on the
news stand while walking down the street toward the planet building arm-in-arm with Louis
"Nice going,Louis. Another great scoop for you." she said cheerfully. Louis just smiled
at her and said "It was easy,thanks to Superwoman!"

Hey, dr. m3 -- Sorry I didn't post a thank-you for your last story. It's been a crazy-busy week, and I'm just catching up here. These are fun stories, and if you'll keep writing them I'll keep reading them.

For those who'd like to see the original cartoons:

"Volcano":


"The Bulleteers":


I'm thinking of writing a story along these lines myself, with clips from the original cartoon inserted into the text. Is there some way to embed a portion of a youtube video (say from 1:10 to 1:30) into a post or Word document? If anyone knows, please shoot me a private message. Thanks!
