It is not only the Queen's Defenders and the Justice League fighting for Paprihaven in this war. Many independent metahumans and highly skilled warriors are on the front lines as well. Or inside the frontlines as the case may be here in the Quadstar* labs.
Shang-Chi: Let's proce-
Chun Li: Here's one!!
Bane: Wha-
THUDD!!
Shang-Chi: This is a privately owned business. I thought we would ask questions instead of kicking-
Stryker: I like her style! Here's some!!
budabudabudabuda!!
Shang-Chi: ... or shooting them.
Bane: That the best you got!?
Chun Li: Just warming up!
Shang-Chi: Or, we could just assume they're enemies and attack everyone.

Foul plans are being enacted against the audience of the Bijou Planks! After a disappointing opening round of non-frights, the owner of the theater, the Chameleon, has sent forth the well preserved Captain Jack Sparrow once more with the command to TERRORIZE THE AUDIENCE!
"EEEHEHEHEE!"
"SQUEE!! EEE!!!"
Skeletons! Converging on Captain Jack!
What will he do??
"GEEEEHEHE!!"
"HSSSS!!!"
"... mmbr... pshawnn... brblr..."
Apparently nothing.
He's in a drunken stupor again!
What does the program say?
...programs rustling...
It says, 'Be terrified out of your minds as Captain Jack Sparrow faces an overwhelming horde of horrible skeletons!'
"GEHEHEEE!!"
"MEEEHEHEHE!!!"
"... *hic!* ...fwnish... mrturgoo..ooo"
Maybe we should help him?
We could take out seven skellies, no sweat!
I could hold Cap'n Jack in my arms... nurse him back to health...
Oh, would you get over him!
"GEEEE!! GEEEE!!"
The skeletons are really annoying though.
Why do they always have that high pitched squeal-laugh?
Because they're skeletons?
They don't even have lungs! How are they making any sound at all!?
"... alwffi... pendjshaaa... *hic!*..."

Foul plans are being enacted against the audience of the Bijou Planks! Though failing to frighten the show-toughened audience so far, Chameleon has combined the three surviving members into a final TRIO OF TERROR!
"Now... you will learn... FEEEAAARRR!!!"
💗 Oh, there's Cap'n Jack...! 💗
Would you stop that?
He's just drunk again.
"You're not LISTENING!"
Sorry, Rack of Alpacas!
It's 'Antlers of Andromeda'.
Sorry! Antlers! What were you saying?
"Now... you can no longer deny... your FEEEAAARRR!!"
He's more talkative this time.
But I still don't understand.
The signs say "Be very something." I don't know what the last word is.
"畏怖!"
We don't understand that!!
"オイオイ！ バカじゃないの！？"
Guh! Here we go again with this Yakuza Turtle nut.
Well, we can figure it out.
This is part of the Halloween thing so, 'Be very...'
'Be very awesome'!
That doesn't seem Halloweeny.
*snrk!* 'Halloweenie'.
HAHAHA!!
"You are to be... AFRAID!!"
Of what?
The signs?
Help us out here.
"You are INFURIATING!"
Wait, we're supposed to 'be very infuriating'?
Oh, we got that!
"... *hic!* ...lardrhshmen... tog..."
💗 Awww! Cap'n Jack! 💗
"*sigh* We cannot frighten them."

"HAH! DOOM wields the power of the cosmic cube! Now all those who have wronged Doom will feel Doom's wrath... starting with the plebian numbskulls at Fox for once again making me, The Greatest and most Iconic Foe in the Marvel Universe, a pathetic super-powered villain!"
This rare photo shows Cap, Bucky, and Toro in 1944. (I use the old Toybiz Human Torch figure as Toro because it's a bit smaller than other Legends).
"You sealed your doom when you came down here, translucent woman! You are in our home now! My Alien Spider-Slayer will make short work of you!"
"Sllllttthhh! Rrrraarr!!
"I don't fear you, Marrow! My force field will- ... wait, I'm not translucent woman! I'm INVISIBLE Woman!"
"You're not invisible, I can see you! I mean, you're clear, so I can see through you, but you're not invisible."
"That's a visual effect so that you can see me in the photo. Otherwise it would just be an empty spot in center frame."
"What are you talking about?? What photo??"
"I think I'm breaking fourth wall here. But the last two times I was advertised on the Planks, people were commenting that they couldn't see me." *
"What 'planks'??"
"Never mind, let's just carry on. *ahem* I don't fear you, Marrow! Or your alien Spider-Slayer!"

* Invisible Woman was too invisible on the Bijou Planks twice! Once, where there is doubt she was actually present:

And again where her invisibility was unappreciated by the audience:
I've been waiting years for this! New Rogue completed them so well (and my heart too.) The Toy Biz and Hasbro figures balance each other well but and new Cyclops, Storm, and Gambit wouldn't be too bad!

"どう思いますか？ お化けカボチャ！ あなたは今怖いです ！"
Oh, it's Yakuza Turtle again.
We still can't understand him.
...programs rustling...
It says, 'The Yakuza Turtle is back... with a HAUNTED PUMPKIN!'
That's a potato.
"オイオイ！ お前はもう、この悪魔のカボチャから逃げられへんのやぞ！ お前ら全員、死んでしまうんや！ どや！怖いやろ～！"
Hey, yakuza person, that's a potato!
It does look creepy.
But it's a potato!
I'm getting hungry.
Um, Mr. Yakuza Turtle fellow, you should step away from the potato!
"ハハハ！ 何かお前ら、興奮してしゃべってるな！ 怖いんやな！ さあ！死のパンプキンの登場や！"
Okay, Umbrella Commander, you run to the concession stand and tell them to make sure the deep fryer is ready to go!
On it!
Program Commander, grab some knives! We're gonna cut us some golden crinkles!
On my way!
"あ～～～！ 走っている奴もいるな！ カボチャのお化けは、いつも殺すんや！"
Pebble Guy! We're going to need salt and ketchup!
Aw... I was gonna see the rest of the act...
PEBBLE GUY!
Okay, on it!
"ついに、ホンマにおびえているんやな！ 悪のカボチャは、お前の凶運や！"
Any idea what he's talking about?
Nope, but he'd better get out of the way quick. Let's go!

The war rages in Old Town* as well...
Cammy: Zen! They're swarming the roof! Trying to get in the building!
Lieutenant Legg: You better believe it chick! We're gonna get inside the Bijou Planks theater and slaughter everybody in there!
Cammy: Zen and I stand together against you!
Lieutenant Legg: That's too bad cause in this case, birds of a feather die together!!
Chip the Ripper: We got a score ta settle, see?? And too bad youse is in our way cupcake, but that's the way the cookie crumbles!!
Cammy: Then we shall call this the Battle of Old Town! And we will stand triumphant!!
_________________________
* Old Town introduced here:
Foul plans are being enacted against the audience of the Bijou Planks! So far, every attempt by the Chameleon's hand-picked terrorizers has failed to make the performance hardened audience afraid. Now it is time to regroup once more to see if tour la terreur can be salvaged!
"Nevermore!"
"What are you shouting about, Chameleon, and why do you have us out here by this old abandoned mine? It looks like bad weather again."
"AHAHA! My distinguished Doctor Octavius, this is the perfect setting!"
SQUAAAWWWW!!
"See?? Just as in Poe's poem, the bird quotes 'Nevermore!'"
"Brilliant!"
"Thank you, Goblin."
"That was a raven. Your bird here is a vulture."
"Poe may have been speaking of a vulture, we're not sure. It was a 'blackbird'."
"No it wasn't. It was a raven! The poem is named 'The Raven'!"
"Well, there is always room for artistic interpretation."
SQUAAAWWWW!!
"Brilliant!"
"NEVERMORE! Nevermore shall the Bijou Planks audience, and in particular that accursed front row, cause me grief! This time, I do not care if they die from fright! I will regroup my three fiends to cause the ultimate horror!"
"Three? You had four."
"Chuugoku Tofu was eaten by the audience."
"They actually ate him?"
"I TOLD you that's what they do sometimes! They eat the performers!"
"Oh, I thought you meant it in some sort of theater jargon like, 'They ate them alive.' or 'They'll eat them up.' as in they're a difficult crowd to please."
"No, there's no jargon! They EAT the performers."
"Honestly Chameleon, I understand your obsession with owning a theater... as as super-villain you're really nothing more than a glorified actor anyway... but I fail to see why you stay with this theater."
SQUAAAWWWW!!
"Brilliant!"
"The Bijou Planks is MINE! And this audience will learn that lesson most painfully! I will send forth my harbingers of horror once again, this time to COMBINE their scary skills! Nevermore will I suffer at the hands of these puerile patrons! NEVERMORE!!"
SQUAAAWWWW!!
"Brilliant!"

Foul plans are being enacted against the audience of the Bijou Planks! The owner of the theater, the Chameleon, reviews the results so far...
"This has been an unquestioned failure so far!"
"Brilliant!"
"Goblin, how is it brilliant? We have FAILED to frighten the audience even a little!"
"This light... it's brilliant!"
"Ah, so it is. Stop touching it! You'll leave smudges."
"Why DO you have us looking at this lit glass cube, Chameleon? With a dog etched in it?"
"Well Dr. Octavius, I find it... impressive!"
"And the giant skeleton hands?"
"Atmospheric!"
"Brilliant!"
"At any rate, we're going to have to rethink our plan!"
"This has been ALL YOUR plan, Chameleon."
"Thank you Ock, I shall remember your support. But so far, the Antlers of Andromeda did not frighten them at all with spiders! Captain Jack Sparrow was too drunk to participate! Chuugoku Tofu was almost devoured by his own act! And no one understood a single thing the Yakuza Turtle said!"
"So, what do you plan to do now?"
"Quite obvious, you simpleton! I will... tell the four to try again, and try HARDER!"
"Brilliant!"
"What's the definition of insanity again..."

Meanwhile, at Chameleon's outrageously chic and hip Old Town pad, the staff is going through team building exercises to improve their management of the Bijou Planks Theater. Doctor Octopus is directing as Chameleon has nodded off on the couch.
"Okay! The next exercise is 'team support'. One member will fall backward, trusting his team mate to catch him. This will visibly demonstrate the trust we have in each other as we work together to manage challenges and resolutions. Blob, you fall back. Goblin, you catch him."
"Heh."
"Ehhhh...."
"What is the problem, Goblin? Don't you want to demonstrate trust?"
"Ehhhh..."
"HAW! HAW! Here I come, Gobby. TIMBER!!"
The result of the exercise seemed to indicate that the Green Goblin cannot be trusted as he jumped out of the way at the last moment.

"What is Rum Pan Stew?" That's the question on everyone's minds as a group of amazing colorful characters got together to spell out the cryptic message using the letters on their costumes.
Is it part of a publicity stunt, soon to be revealed? Or does it spell danger for Paprihaven??
Time will tell.

RATS!
Oh, what's wrong?
What happened?
RATS! These are... RATS!
Oh! Yes, yes they are.
We thought you were saying, 'Rats!' as in something had gone wrong.
Isn't he the Horns of Harmonica, or something like that?
...programs rustling...
He's the 'Antlers of Andromeda'.
Oh, right. That.
RATS! Fear! Scary!!
It seems his method is to bring something out and yell about it.
Without a lot of grammar.
Don't you think 'Rats!' is a bit unfair to rats? I mean, we see something we don't like and we yell about them as though they were responsible.
I don't know that we're saying they're responsible, just that they're undesirable like whatever happened that we don't like.
How is that better?
I didn't say it was.
"RUN! RATS! HORROR!"
Well it's clearly unfair to use their species name in such a way.
I don't LIKE rats, so I don't care whether it's rude to them or not.
Did you know rats are highly intelligent and can make wonderful pets?
Great, and they can do all of those things someplace far away from me!
"LISTEN! RATS! RATS!"
Willard!
Ben!
Michael Jackson!
Mickey!
He's a mouse.
Okay, then, Ruffhouse!
Who??
He's Minnie's cousin.
Wow, your knowledge of Disney minutia is either amazing or annoying. I'll let you know.
"AFRAID! RATS! RATS! RUN! SCREAM!"
This is pretty much all that's going to happen here, isn't it?
Looks that way.
I want to get one of rats for a pet!
If you get one of those rats, you're all the back to the 8th row!!

Shall we dance?
A few delays led to me not finishing before Halloween. Stuff like WiFi router problems, work related nonsense and having to delay my vacation until after Halloween, kept me too busy to shoot all I had planned, So maybe someday.

Whoa! He came rolling out on a skateboard.
Amongst other skateboards.
"You have heard of the 'skateboard'... no?"
We have heard of the skateboard, yes.
And, you're on one.
How about this? We're 'skate-BORED'!

"Not yet. You see... this is not a 'skateboard'."
Oookay, what is it?
"It is... a 'SCAREBOARD'."
That's stupid!
Those are skateboards with Halloween decos that aren't even scary!
How can it be a scareboard!?
"Because... this board... will SCARE you."
...
HOW??
You're standing there on a skateboard, looking quite edible, which is crazy with our reputation, and NONE of this is scary!
"Not yet."
GAH!
Would you get to the scary part??
You've all been trying for over a week and, I assure you, we'd LOVE to be scared as that would make an entertaining show for a change, but it's all just dumb!
"Perhaps... you would look at the pictures... on the SCAREBOARDS?"
Grr... we just SAID that they're not scary!
