Quoting DB Sommer <sommert@connecttime.net>:

decidedly bland, stone. Why they did not pave their streets in gold, 
like the Realm Eternal, mystified her. Even the air was more foul than 
before. A pox upon the thing they called technology. It was beyond her 
why the fools didn�t simply embrace magic. Well, they did have but puny 
mortal minds that could never hope to rival the intricacies of an 
Asgardian's. 

Then again Skuld doesn't embrace magic either...

The Enchantress� arrival made everyone stop in their tracks. She noted 
that the mortal men stared at her in lust while the mortal harridans 
shot her venomous stares. Amidration and Envy for one who was beauty 

Admiration.  And I wouldn't capitalise "envy", personally.  

crisis was over, she�d be phoning her Uncle Peter in the United States. 
He dealt with SPBs all the time on behalf of the government. He�d tell 
her what to do to bring this scum, human and mutant alike, into line.

So what are the X-Men anyway?  The cast of Kimagure Orange Road?  

Another tremor of nervousness shook Ukyou, and this time the source 
wasn�t the nearness of her target. It was the outfit she wore. Since her 
last school was boys only, she had disguised herself as one. It was 
surprisingly easy, with no one ever catching on to her true gender. 

Well, actually everyone knew.  They just agreed not to say.  

The Hulk was too busy fighting Spragg, the Living Hill --a member of an 
alien race whose forms were identical large mounds of dirt-- preventing 
the large knoll from spearheading an invasion of Earth. 

Not that he knew that.  He just blamed Spragg for moving around and making
it even harder for Hulk to figure where he was going.  

Urd remained motionless, though not because Hawkeye had ordered her to. 
She was stunned at the idea that the mortal could resist her magically 
enhanced charms. She could not sense any magic coming from him, and he 
was far too small to be Thor in disguise. How vexing. She would have to 
subdue the archer and find out exactly why he was immune to her spell. 
She waved her hand before her.

Hawkeye suddenly found his arrow, twisting in his hand, having been 
turned into a snake. �Not again,� she moaned. 

Come to think of it, turning weapons into snakes is an _awfully_ popular
illusion.  

Hawkeye gulped. She really hadn�t planned on fending off all of them. 
Lighting fast she started releasing her arrows. Flare, glue, sonic, 
bolo, and a variety of other non-lethal types spread into the midst of 
the angry mob. 

Really Hawkeye is ideally equipped to degoon.  

Daredevil noted he managed to dispatch all but one of the remaining 
horde. While Hawkeye had done his work well, at least judging by the 
number of unconscious and reeling people surrounding the area, the 
archer had been caught, and he was free. That was the difference that 
made him better than Hawkeye. 

Tardiness?  

The hero�s radar sense informed him that one of the possessed mob had 
evaded the nets. Daredevil felt sorry for the poor guy. He was 
completely outclassed. The blind adventurer decided to go easy on him. 
After all, it wasn�t as though the guy could be blamed for falling 
victim to some supervillain who had the ability to capture a person�s 
mind. Luckily, Daredevil knew he was made of sterner stuff. No one could 
control his mind, no matter what their powers were.

Wait until he runs into someone with a siren song power.  

Just as the figure was nearly upon him, Daredevil finally managed to 
sort out his foe�s heartbeat from the others. The hero�s defenses 
momentarily went down as he recognized the familiar pulse of Captain 
Japan�s.

Who obviously doesn't exactly measure up to Steve Rogers when it comes
to iron will.  

numerous canisters in both the direction of the mob and at his feet. 
They exploded on impact, releasing jets of a smoky substance far and 
wide in the air. The effect was instantiations as everyone began rubbing 
their eyes at the tear gas. Everyone, that was, save Daredevil. While 
his eyes watered like everyone else, such meant little to a blind man.

that meant little to a blind man.

Seems like DD's superiority complex has some basis.  He does the same
things Hawkeye does, and more.  

A cheaper victory Daredevil couldn�t imagine. While he could taunt 
Captain Japan for falling under the influence of the villainess, 

Albeit, only by committing the faux pas of revealing Japan's secret ID

For a moment, Thor found herself lost in the power of the kiss. Truly it 
was incredible, tantalizing her senses in ways she could never recall, 
and served well for one who often referred to herself as the Goddess of 
Love and Beauty. 

Although not when Frigga's around...

Striding through the dust, the armored figure of the Executioner 
approached. Upon seeing Thor, it raised its hammer, which was extremely 
slender and bore a strong resemblance to a croquet mallet.

�Skuld!� Thor exclaimed. Upon seeing the figure, previously forgotten 
memories of the identity of the armored warrior surged to the forefront.

I'm a bit surprised she recognises the armour.

The Executioner leveled the hammer in Thor�s direction. �So, I see mine 
fears were well founded. Thou has conspired to take mine elder sister 
from Asgard and make her yours.�

So with Belldandy out of the picture Skuld has transferred her devotion to 
Urd?  

Thor froze. That was all it took for the true hammer to strike, the 
others disappearing upon contact. Thor was knocked to the ground again 
while the Mjolnir 3005 returned on its jets to the Executioner�s hand.

�As thou can see, not only does it return to mine hand, but it can 
attack from every angle as well. Mine hammer is superior to thy ancient 
piece of debris Odin created. 

Odin?  In the comic books Odin created Mjolner?  Quite apart from that, 
the sentence would work better if written "that ancient piece"

Hawkeye�s damnation was cut short as the Executioner, evidently deciding 
that heads were about as useful to locomotion as helmets, raised a fist 
and threw another punch at Thor.

Thor, not surprised in the slightest, caught the fist in a grip of iron. 
�Dost thou not know when the situation hath been lost?!� The goddess 

battles are lost, situations are hopeless
