"And now, for our superhero of the year award! Now I think this one we really can't do without. You could say that he's always there for us on a rainy day. It's... The Cloud!"

The audience erupts into thunderous applause as the cumulus-shaped mass of moisture slowly floats to the podium, crying the occasional raindrop of joy.

"Thank you, thank you! First, I'd like to thank my sponsors: Amazon, Microsoft, Google, IBM, and every other major tech company that keeps me afloat, hehe. It's been a fantastic year of fighting evil, hasn't it? Thanks to my new cloud capabilities, eh-hem, we're tracking villains in real time, so I'm always there to lend some shade or a spare shower when you need to fly in for that pivotal battle. And you'd best believe we have a full slate of new features for the coming year that are going to make your lives even easier. So hold on tight, it's gonna be a wild ride"

"God, he makes me sick" Ricky the Revered Raccoon whispered to his friend Overpower Man in the back of the audience. "Every year he does this schtick and he comes across like a total douchecloud."

"Preach." Overpower Man tightly clutched the lightning bolt glued onto his aging plate mail. It wasn't necessary, it was just a habit.

"I wish I could fly. Like he comes in so smooth, in every. single. battle. You don't even see him until he's there on top of the villain raining in their eyes. Just like, once. If raccoons could fly."

"By the time I get there douchecloud usually has the situation under control." Overpower Man shrugged. "I guess the world is a better place with him."

The lights in the auditorium flickered as The Cloud wafted offstage with his award somehow sitting on top of him.

"It appears we're having-" the announcer said as the room was plunged into total darkness, cutting the mic.

"Uh oh," Ricky said.

Murmurs echoed from the crowd for a few terse moments before the lights came back on. The announcer was still on stage with the mic in hand.

"I'm hearing word through comms that we're under attack!"

The crowd got out of their seats in unison, putting themselves in their superhero battle formation all at once.

"Who would be dumb enough to attack the world's largest superhero convention?" Overpower Man said.

Ricky shook his head as he entered Battle Raccoon form. "Let's get 'em!"

They followed the crowd out of the auditorium and into what should have been a clear and cold night, but instead of seeing a starry sky, they were blinded by an intense light coming from above. When they tried to get a look at it, they found the light too bright.

"Heh heh heh," a deep voice cackled from the general direction of the light. "It is I, the incredibly hot, galaxy-revered, Supernova Totalus Increduli, but most just call me Super."

The collected superheroes stood underneath it. The Cloud was missing.

"So I heard that you crowned your Cloud best superhero yet again. Eh-hem, I think you're going to have to rethink that strategy. My very essence destroys clouds. Also, I have the power to send out a storm so powerful that it will knock the electricity and Internet off for your entire planet. Lots of heat and no Internet will put him out to some nice weather if you know what I mean. Heh."

Ricky and Overpower Man looked at one another. Finally, it was their time to shine.
