Vocabulary Meme and Marvel comics

For all you aspiring comic book writers out there? Guess what? Marvel Comics is hunting writers. I'm attempting to write something to submit to them, but not sure I can come up with anything. Serious writer's block going on and I've lost faith in my creative writing ability which doesn't help. Damn.
But figure will attempt something anyways - zip to lose.

Here's the link if you are interested in doing it yourself...
