Answering for the creative prompt:

I think right now every player in the league is looking to beam Max Manning, given how outstanding his goalscoring prowess has been this season. I mean, look at him go with 37 goals already on the season! Every single player in the league would want to zap all of that goal scoring ability from Manning in order to better their chances of becoming the next big superstar.

Now, Vaseline Podcalzone would not want to beam Manning out since, well, they're on the same team here. Instead, it is up to Vaseline Podcalzone to protect Max Manning from getting beamed. That sounds like something definitely part of the job requirement for a team's captain.

Podz has experienced a ton of questionable attempts to steal Manning's powers. One attempt that came close was an opposing player disguising themselves as a reporter, before sneaking into the team locker room with an absorber machine shaped like a typical microphone.
