EUDIAL and VENGEANCE
Sensing the Witches annoyance, Anjushree makes a half-hearted attempt to mollify her "I really do know barely more about this place than you - I'd been here before a few times on brief excursions, but that was hundreds of years ago local time, most of this trip I've been sat in a capsule in space concentrating on stopping the world ended. All this is as much news to me as it is to you... However, I have managed to gather a bit more information about Pentraxians, Titanicman and what he's been doing recently:
Pentraxians:
Pentraxians are generally the most powerful space Empire in any Universe in which they evolved - there are suggestions that genetic engineering was involved in their genesis at some point, because the world they evolved from was literally the bare minimum required to evolve sentient life. The result of which is that their bodies are so over evolved to extract every bit of minute energy from their surroundings, that when put onto basically any other planet they hypermetabolise everything and become incredibly powerful within a few days.
As given a choice between being indestructible, flying, energy blasting gods or miserable peasants on an even more miserable rock of a planet, they invariable choose the former. They tend to roll out across the Galaxy at terrifying speed, although they don't usually have the ambition to actually care about managing the people they conquer but have no concern for collateral. However, when in Universes where other Class-1000 species have evolved, such as Kryptonians, Asgardians, Time Lords, Daleks, Green Martians etc or where there are already powerful space empires in play, the resulting conflict often rends the Galaxy apart as soon as Pentraxians begin to attack.
As such, 200 years ago, the Pentraxian Purge began, where an alliance of hundreds of Space Empires and High-power species hunted down and killed almost every single Pentraxian in the multiverse. A few dozen children were thrown into an unstable wormhole in an attempt to protect the species, and Titanicman is believed to be one of these survivors, raised on Earth X by someone a lot nicer than his biological parents.
Titanicman:
According to reports made by famed journalist Sally Streater, the 10 most recent Titanicman conflicts were as follows:
12 hours ago: Defeated a gang of Balrogs who were selling the infamous drug "Pipeweed" to children.
2 Days ago: Stopped the infamous Ballet themed bankrobber "The Nutcracker"
2 Days ago: Fought some dinosaurs. No clear reason.
5 Days ago: Teamed up with Fleems the Moonfox to defeat Mecha-Titanicman
6 Days ago: Fought Mecha-Titanicman, but retreated to keep civilians safe
12 Days ago: Rescued Sally Streater from Felix Fairlynasty, renowned Evil Industrialist
14 Days ago: Punched some ghosts on the moon. This was the occassion where no Rift energy was detected.
15 Days ago: Fought a Fairlynasty Industries Flying Robot hit squad with Pentraxianite gun.
15-18 Days ago: Teamed up with numerous heroes to push back an invasion of the Antelope-men of Dimension-Antelope.
21 Days ago: Had a misunderstanding-then-teamup battle with Fleems the Moonfox.
MARISA:
Arriving back at the Castle, Marisa upgrades her broom. After retrieving it and testing it out, it would seem that it has gained some kind of strange ability related to a strange shaped piece of metal at the front - when flying the metal somehow channels the air around the brooms and its riders into a bullet shaped cone which deflects any physical attacks. This only works while going at speed, not hovering, but it would seem that attacks like bullets, fire, explosives, projectiles etc would be deflected around the broom.
