To the Pain!

While heroes run in fear, the hero who appears the weakest of them all proves to be the most powerful of them all, his secret? Courage!


Oh, no! The Caped-Masked Bad Guy has Professor X!

What chance does Professor X have while bound to a chair?

Will it be a duel to the death?!?

No, TO THE PAIN! (Princess Bride fans get ready…)

Caped-Masked Bad Guy: I’M NOT SURE I’M FAMILIAR WITH THAT PHRASE.

Professor X: I’ll explain, and I’ll use small words so you’ll be sure to understand, you wart-hogged-faced buffoon.

THAT MAY BE THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE A MAN HAS DARED TO INSULT ME.

It won’t be the last — to the pain means that the first thing you will lose is your feet, below the ankles, then your hands at the wrists, next your nose.

AND THEN MY TONGUE I SUPPOSE. ON WITH IT!

I wasn’t finished! The next thing you will lose is your left eye followed by your right.

AND THEN MY EARS, I UNDERSTAND, LETS GET ON WITH IT.

Wrong! Your ears you’ll keep and I’ll tell you why. So that every shriek of every child at seeing your hideousness will be yours to cherish, every babe that weep at your approach, every woman who cries out, “What is that thing?” will echo in your perfect ears. THAT is what the pain means. It means I leave you in anguish, wallowing in freakish misery forever.

I THINK YOU’RE BLUFFING.

It’s possible, pig. I might be bluffing. It is conceivable you miserable vomitous mass that I’m only sitting here because I lack the strength to stand…

…then again, perhaps I have the strength after all.

Drop your sword!!!

Have a seat. Tie yourself up with those annoying twisty ties that come with all toys nowadays. Make it as tight as you want.

Ah, so weak.

I KNEW YOU WERE BLUFFING, I KNEW HE WAS BLUFFING.

THE LESSON:

Courage comes not from physical strength.
Courage comes from within.

Courage can defeat even a mightier foe!
