In this case, the villains will be a bunch of Turkeys who, after gobbling the British at Gallipolee(spl?), have advanced on the Columbian city of Bogota. They have currently encircled the Justice League of America's headquarters, the only thing that can stand in their way of total domination of the coffee bean crop, and thereby rule of the world.
Panicked Citizen: Help us, Justice League! The turkey leader, Abraham Lincoln, is about to wipe out our corrupt police force!
Mr. Tom Jones: It's not unusual to flee in terror!
Almost everyone knows Tom Jones as a famous singer, who wears tight pants and has many gold chains, a bit reminiscent of Mr. T. But few know he is actually the latest in a long string of Super Heroes to join the famous Justice League of America. Yes, Tom has proudly taken a place next to such fine heroes as the Human Torch (some guy who is constantly lit on fire, probably against his own will), the Martian Man Hunter (like Superman, but weak against fire!), and the Flash (he can get places fast, but can't do a thing once he gets there except to run away). All of these heroes are guided by the wise leadership of the great Green Lantern (he likes the color green). Some might wonder how Tom Jones could fit in to such an elite group. Well, first of all, this group isn't very elite. And secondly, Mr. Tom Jones has many powers which make him a crime-fighting MACHINE! To inform you of these powers, I will include an example below.
Green Lantern: These turkeys aren't wearing green. We'll have to deal with them.
Panicked Citizen: What are you going to do, Green Lantern?
Turkey: Gobble Gobble!
Green Lantern: Allow me to introduce the latest addition to the Justice League of America. Please welcome Mr. Tom Jones!
At this point, a stage rises from the floor, containing Tom Jones and his band. They immiediately break into song.
Tom Jones: It's not unusual to eat turkeys!
Turkey: GOBBLE!
The turkeys are easily beaten back by Jones' timely song, but after a few minutes, Tom Jones sinks back into the floor and the turkeys resume their charge. However, after a mere five minutes, another voice declares everyone to welcome Mr. Tom Jones, and he rises once more from the floor, singing the exact same song. And he continues to rise, every five minutes, even once the turkeys are gone, singing repeatedly his trademark tune.
Alright, so that's all wildly exagerrated. The original source of this quote comes from the Exhibition, where I worked last summer. There was a stage nearby, and three or four times a day a Sixties Imitation group would "Welcome Mr. Tom Jones", and he would sing the same song. I still can't get it out of my head! Not only was the song incredibly repetitive, but it was not even very good, since it was only an imitation group singing it. Oh no, here he comes again...!
