"We find love... build it on the rocks, build it in the sand. You and I are here, what from love demand? Being every friend, peace and happiness abound. Everyone is lost, everyone is found."

The resident Japanese pop idol superhero of Z'onn Z'orr, Shiny Happy Aquazon has quickly become a powerful force for change, cloaked in the guise of superheroics but entirely self-serving as she works hard to change the narrative of Castling to suit her own agenda. The most skilled brand ambassador in the whole of the Tokyo megalopolis is Kim Kimura, daughter of Junior Waveman Kimura and a master of the trending topic. Kim is known for her bold and blatant disrespect for the older generations and her anti-traditional sensibilities, going so far as to even call Rising Sun a wank pheasant at one point. However, after she was dethroned by Burrito on Twitter, Kim began to go through a crisis of confidence, and she reunited with her estranged father - only briefly - before he commanded her to flee to safety when the dome around Japan came down. Tearfully, she bid him farewell as Rising Sun and his Equated cronies marched on the summit of Mount Fuji. This is how Kim Kimura returned to Z'onn Z'orr with the party, and ever since then, her entire focus has been on raising a ruckus in order to suit her own agenda.

In this campaign, there may be many, but they are so often looming at the edges of the players' reality, threats existential and dire, but also distant in their way. Darkseid, Mother Miracle, Thanagar. Instead, we contend with the worst of humanity, the dregs, the opportunists, mass murderers.

Shiny Happy Aquazon is kind of, sort, maybe just a little bit, the greatest threat to the stability of Z'onn Z'orr. Waller should fear her. Etta should stay far away. If not for Canary, there's a very real chance that Shiny Happy Aquazon would already rule the last weary segment of free humanity. Antarctica would be Aquzontica in the snap of her fingers. After all, every thing Aquazon does is perfectly calculated. Her pulse is the pulse of the people. Her words are the narcotics which drug and stupify an easily swayed populace. The world is ready to bend at Aquazon's feet, if not for one tiny pesky little feeling. Remorse. Regret at the treatment of her father. Isolated and alone now, without a real friend in the world, there is a very real kryptonite that Aquazon is exposed to, and its not laying the medbay. It's that great fallibility in the heart, a daughter still yearning for her father and his approval. Will that tiny hint of humanity be enough to stave off Aquazon's consumption of the willfully provided hearts of Z'onn Z'orr's populace? Only time will tell.

Minerva, strangely enough, may be the person best positioned to prevent Aquazon from becoming the master of Z'onn Z'orr. After all, their closeness has revealed a softer side to Aquazon's personality. Kim has a real weakness for seeing happy fathers and daughters. In fact, she spends a great deal of time watching Vari Dzerchenko take care of TNTeena in the Scrapper Lanes. There's a true kryptonite to be exploited there - a pang that Minerva herself has revealed is not entirely unknown to her, given the struggles she's had with her own parentage. Perhaps it's there that an access point can be reached with Aquazon.

If not, God help us all. We'll be living in the empire of Kim Kimura.
