A/N: When I created Comic Control I hoped it to be like stories like sidekicks r us or cartoon overlord with a variety of different stories. It's been almost a year and that hasn't happened so I assume the structuring is wrong. Time to change that. You can be anyone within a comic book world, a superpowered villain, a criminal mastermind or even just an aver...

To the side, an actor was getting a temporary tattoo on his buttocks from a makeup artist. Benjamin knocked on the door to Mark's office. "Come in," Mark called out. Benjamin entered the office and handed Mark his time she...
Ray couldn't help noticing the Queen of Spades tattoo on the leg of the beautiful young white woman smiling and waiving at him from the bar. It was the universal signal: this woman loved black men and couldn't wait to get fucked by them. Ray smiled and waved back. This young lady was really hot, with shoulder-length, reddish-blonde hair, pale skin, and gorg...
Guiding her by her sensitive dorsal fin, Mark and Vala slowly entered into the central compound, and only building, that stood on Beru. The two slowly walked down the long corridor that led to one of Mark's offices. Vala's panting was all most subsided as they walked down the hallway, and she now listened with great joy as her new mate told her about the his...
