From the shadows of Seattle, a villain has risen to battle the false fame of Phoenix Jones, a masked vigilante. His name is Rex Velvet, a mustached businessman who handles a mustache like he handles his sparking alcohol - like a dandy.
There’s almost 300 miles separating Spokane and this man, but it should be known that he has had ties to the Lilac City in the past. Sources say he visited Eastern Washington last October to begin his Social Villain Alliance.
Velvet agreed to a phone interview on Thursday afternoon with KXLY where he disclosed that he is branching out to all corners of the state to begin his league of loyal alliances.
“Spokane should hope that they keep their wits about themselves. They may be one of the last spots that super heroes haven’t polluted the streets,” Velvet said over the phone.
We thought we heard the sound of his knuckles crunching around a Space Needle bottle opener during the phone call, but that’s not confirmed.
