It had started as a normal day, if normal could be used to describe a team-up with Amphibi-Us. Then Mei and the aquatic hero had gotten wind of a ghost yacht and had gone to investigate it.

The heroes had discovered that it was just a ghost dinghy being projected on a fog to appear as a larger ghost ship. And then a shark woman had barrelled out of the water and grabbed Mei as she hung from Amphibi-Us' C-Copter.

"Power Panda I presume! Or Problem Panda? Do let me know your preferred nom de guerre!"

Mei could feel the woman's sharp fingers digging into her leg even through her advanced combat suit. In panic, she swung a punch at the shark woman's head. But the shark took the POW! without flinching. Same for a BIFF! BAM! and SOCK!

"Oh. Rude. Of me. Never even introduced myself. I'm 5-Kay Newt. You can call me Kay. Or Newt. I can just tell that we're going to have some fun times committing violence on one another!"

"IS THERE ANY SHARK REPELLENT UP THERE?" Mei demanded.

"FRESH OUT" came the reply from Amphibi-Us.

"C'mon! Every superhero knows to bring shark repellent when climbing rope ladders over the ocean!" Mei protested, mainly to herself.

"SOME OF MY BEST FRIENDS ARE SHARKS. I DIDN'T THINK I'D NEED ANY!"

"Oh. Rude. Of you this time," said Kay or Newt. "I'm hanging out with you and you're ignoring me to talk to someone else. Plus, you haven't even offered me a bite. Maybe you're saying I should help myself?"

That settled it. Mei preferred it when goofy weirdos would just hang her up naked and yell at her instead of trying to bite her.

So once unnamed lotion shark became a supervillain for Mei, I had to get CombatRaccoon to do the Batman movie ladder shark scene. Its probably mandatory.
