(In child-like voice) Mommy, I want

Kick-Ass party. Dumb little f***.

I know a way you could get him.

Aww sh*t. Chris

How long you been there?

What the hell you doin'?

Get the hell out!

You wanna hear it or not?

Hear what?

Okay, look:
you're a superhero and you're lonely but you can't

trust anyone because either they'll expose your secret identity...

Comic books, this kids reads, all

f***ing day long.

The point is, there's only one way a

superhero would trust a stranger and...

I could be that stranger.

You just gotta give me a chance.

I know I can do

it. I just need a few things.

Like what?

I need these things.

What, you f***ing kidding me?

What the hell is this?

It's everything I need.

And you might have to screw somebody over

Like, Louie, or somebody.

Louie?! Oh whoa, hey, Chris

Or somebody, it doesn't have to be Louie.

- Tony

- Tony

Tony?

I hate Tony -

Hey, f*** Tony he's a scum bag -

I swear, dad. If

you let me do this, it's gonna work.

Tony

Tony Romita, one of America's most wanted crime king-pins

was arrested in Queens today.

after a 911 cal from someone claiming to be a superhero

So how are things going with Katie?

Oh, just peachy. Had a sleep over and spent the whole night

watching the entire Ugly Betty box set

and did pedicures.

I'm telling you, though the longer you

wait, the worse it's gonna get.

I know.

I was gonna tell her.

She just seems so happy.

I don't know whens the right time.

Well, now's your chance.

Hey guys

Hi

Oh, did you watch the TV?

The new superhero guy? How cool was that?

What?

Hey look. Can you turn it up please?

Check this out.

But it seems that far from being put-off,

this individual, who calls himself Red Mist,

has decided to take crime fighting to a new level,

as his actions last night proved.

Red Mist, how do you see it?

Well, I guess folks have just had enough of living in

fear, you know, and uh... Kick-Ass really proved that one individual can make a difference.

So, If anyone out there needs help, I'll be fighting

crime 25/8.

And I'm just one click away.

RedMist. org.

Can you turn that off now?

What's so special about that guy?

He caught, like, a drug dealer

Some most-wanted guy

He saw 'em bringing out, like, a ton of stuff,

- That's Pretty cool.

Yeah. way better costume than Kickass, too.

He's gotta cape-

Yeah -

Capes rock-

Yeah -

I'm kinda feelin' the cape. Looks good.

What, better than Kick-Ass?

I mean they're both kinda hot I just think that

Red Mist has a better body.

Don't you think, Dave?

Yeah Dave what do you think? Is that the kind

of guy you'd go for? With all that leather?

No, not me.

No, he's not really my type

Kick Ass

Oh... I mean like right now?

Yeah man, come on, I got something I wanna show you

What are you doing?

What the hell is that thing?

You bought this to spy on the nanny

when I was a kid, don't you remember?

Why? You put it in the warehouse?

Yeah. I thought it'd be cool to put the

unmasking of Kick-Ass on the Internet, okay?

Watch.

"Let's get the tag? he's on his way"

Who the hell is this guy?

I don't know, Dad

But, Kick-Ass told me we're not the only super heroes in town.

Maybe he knows who this guy is.

I want this place locked down.

Nobody comes in, nobody goes out

Not until somebody finds this cocksucker

and blows his f***in' lungs out through his chest.

Listen. They're on to you.

Do you hear me? They're on to you

I thought they were looking for

Kick-Ass?

Not anymore. Gigante just put on a little movie

show for us. Different Superhero.

In a warehouse killing a whole

bunch of D'Amico's guys.

I'm gonna take a wild guess that was you?

- I killed all the cameras.

- Apparently not.

Look bro, you need to get ghost. Hide yourself

quick.

Appreciate it.

Mindy

No more homework, baby doll

It's time

for Frank D'Amico to go bye-bye.

X- Men, Fantastic 4

Right now I can't beat the crap out of them.

Everything was out of control

I didn't know what the hell to do

You OK, buddy?
