It's a Golden Age game, very light-hearted and more than a little zany. Our band of heroes had a Shazam type, a batman type, a Huntress type, a hero with an incredible healing factor,  and I was playing kind of a Zatara magician named Justicard. We were in the wasteland at time's end fighting a time-folding mad scientist called Dr. Kronos, who was using a time machine to throw adversaries from all through history at us. After a quick showdown with Billy the Kid, I had the great idea to use my disguise and teleport powers to appear next to Dr. Kronos, disguised as Dr. Kronos himself. I shouted 'I'm you from the future! Our plot fails, we have to stop the machine and escape!' hoping to get him to turn off the machine. I was so confident in my plan that I used my last hero point to put my disguise check into the 30's. The GM was completely nonplussed. He realized that Dr. Kronos probably had these kinds of conversations all the time, and had him reply 'Why didn't you tell me this sooner?'  The GM then told the other players, 'Now there are TWO  Dr. Kronos-es, what do you do?' The answer? Clobber them both. Commander Courage unloaded all of his Shazam-like might at Dr. Kronos and I, knocking us both senseless.  Since Justicard is a stage magician when in his secret identify, he went down in a explosion of white doves as the birds were knocked free from his sleeves and hat from the force of the blow. It was tremendous fun to be clobbered by my teammates thanks to my own goofy plan, but the best part was when after Dr. Kronos was defeated, one of the other heroes saw my unconscious body with the disguise blown half off and said 'Justicard was Dr. Kronos all along!' --Z</blockquote>
