Cruise/Isaac

A Story by Abishai100

Isaac and Cruise become allies in a superheroic crusade against terrorism in America and are joined by Firestar and cheered by Isaac's new bride.

Here's another patriotism fable inspired by Marvel Comics and the film Spider-Man 3. Thanks so much (signing off...finally),cd

Isaac was an Asian-American advocate and sympathizer of Sinn Fein, the legal and political arm of the Irish Republican Army (IRA) which was seeking to eradicate British rule in Northern Ireland and promote more civil rights for the Irish Catholic minority living in Belfast. Isaac was also an American saree merchant, selling glamorous and well-designed Asian-Indian women's saree clothing-and-fashions in NYC and NJ. He was a Jack-of-all-Trades.

Cruise was a hot American celebrity, wheeling around America and making iconic and box-office smash films reflective of social trends and psychological imagination. He was a real screen-hero, having made symbolic films like American Made and Minority Report. Everyone considered Cruise an American demi-god.

Angelica Jones was Cruise's girlfriend. Together, they worked covertly as the American masked vigilante-superheroes known as Spider-Man and Firestar. Spider-Man (Cruise) had the uncanny ability to soar around on cobwebs and use agility to wrestle with terrible evildoers. Firestar had the strange power of telekinetic control of heat, creating spontaneous fire and explosions. Spider-Man and Firestar were a terrific heroic duo. Angelica (Firestar) was to appear at a movie opening of Cruise's latest film, Becoming Irish.

However, at the opening a venomous mutant super-villain appeared and called himself the Scorpion. This deformed super-villain had a body shape like a humanoid-scorpion with a scorpion-tail and terrible claw-hands. He could spew venom while wrangling anyone with his brutish body. Scorpion wanted to create pure panic and mayhem at the movie opening of Becoming Irish, because he didn't Cruise and his girlfriend Angelica Jones were actually Spider-Man and Firestar. Scorpion was therefore terrorizing the crowds there that day in the USA.

Cruise and Angelica slipped behind a building alley and transformed into the heroic duo Spider-Man and Firestar to deal with this new deformed super-terrorist Scorpion. Spider-Man shot cobwebs into Scorpion's eyes to blind him, while Firestar created a ring of fire around his legs, so he'd be unable to move around. However, Scorpion, with his eyes closed, began to shoot venom all over the crowds and through Firestar's ring of fire. Spider-Man felt helpless too. Just then, a new mysterious heroic character appeared with equally superhuman abilities. This icy individual called himself Iceman and was obviously Isaac, our Asian-American Sinn Fein advocate and saree businessman in NYC and NJ, but no one knew this. Iceman proceeded to create an icy hand-chain around Scorpion's two hands, disorienting and impeding him temporarily enough to allow Spider-Man and Firestar to completely dizzy the super-terrorist at the movie opening of Becoming Irish. The next month, a comic book artist rendered a heroic dramatization of this incredible event (using the Telluride Film Festival as an allegory) in a Marvel Comics trophy. It was spectacular.

Super-celebrity Leo DiCaprio was so impressed by this Marvel Comics issue that he declared the new trio of superheroes, Spider-Man, Firestar, and Iceman, to be America's ultimate crusading team of do-gooders. How they managed to wrangle and down the vexing Scorpion was a feat any professor at Duke would find unbelievable. Leo decided to create a movie showcase of Marvel Comics adapted films made in the new millennium, hoping Cruise would be a sponsor of the patriotic media event.

New York City, the place where the movie opening of Cruise's film took place and where the evil Scorpion appeared to create modern terrorism, was once again safe. Spider-Man, Firestar, and Iceman became fast-friends and comprised the true team of great superheroes DiCaprio considered the symbolic modern defense of American civil dioramas. How would this triad challenge other brands of new age dystopian terrorism that threatened American democracy?

One month later, there was a conflagration in NYC, and Spider-Man, Firestar, and Iceman were signaled to appear to save the day. Hopefully, the terrorist responsible for this event wouldn't create pure fear and the triad of heroes could create something to offer America real melons. Was this heaven of hell?

The culprit this time was a gravel-and-sand throwing maniac called Sandman, and Spider-Man and Iceman paired to disintegrate the psychopath. Now, a Marvel adapted movie was being planned to dramatize this newest heroic feat. Would this movie be a box-office smash during the Netflix downloads at the time of the Coronavirus quarantine?

Isaac (Iceman) married his high-school sweetheart, a French-American young woman named Brieana Cates. It was a splendid multicultural ceremony, and Cruise and Angelica were both guests as was Isaac's old professor from Harvard. This was a moment of peace during an otherwise deforming string of terrorism dilemmas.

Isaac continued to endorse Sinn Fein, and he continued to aid Spider-Man (Cruise) and Angelica (Firestar) in various defenses of civil liberties and democracy in America. In the era of capitalism, heroism had the color of anti-Dianetics terrorism. What would be the future?
