Option 1:



Spaceman Spiff, already a figment of his own imagination, is well set up to be a superhero. He comes with a superhero name, a secret identity, and his own spaceship, when it functions. In this alternate world, he melds the comic strip with hockey and adds superhuman speed. His blaster now fires pucks with pinpoint accuracy, a key weapon in his fight against the terrifying Leo. Part lion, part man, this creature never sleeps and rarely eats real food. This makes Leo ravenous and unpredictable and a constant threat to Spiff. Once, they were allies, but hunger and exhaustion twisted Leo's mind until he became more beast than man. They became enemies, clashing over the Canadian Prairies from their new homes in Winnipeg (for Leo) and Edmonton (for Spiff). Spiff is strong, but Leo is relentless, and his only hope is that one day Leo may find the rest he needs, and a proper breakfast, and return to the man he used to be.
