Arachno-Mischief: The Curvy Superhero Antics of Ralph

The minute Ralph stumbled into my apartment, looking like he'd just come from a week-long cosplay convention, I knew something was off.

"Dude, you will not believe what happened to me," Ralph said, his voice noticeably... higher?

I looked him up and down. "Ralph, is that you? Why are you wearing a spandex suit? And... are those boobs?"

"Dude, keep your voice down!" Ralph hissed, glancing around like the walls had grown ears.

"Sorry, uh, dudette," I smirked, trying not to laugh. "But seriously, what the heck happened to you?"

He sighed, taking a dramatic stance. "You know that spider we found at the lab last week? The one that got loose?"

"Yeah, the one that bit you? You said it just itched a little."

"Well, turns out, it was a radioactive spider," Ralph said, rolling his eyes. "And apparently, a female one."

"Okay, and?" I said, not quite getting the full picture yet.

"Not only did I get superpowers like Spiderman—you know, wall-climbing, super strength, web-slinging—"

"Lemme guess," I interjected, holding back a laugh. "It also gave you, uh, lady parts?"

Ralph's face was dead serious. "Yep. And not just any lady parts. I've got, like, the Jessica Rabbit starter kit here."

I couldn't help it. I burst out laughing. "Oh man, that's too rich. So you're telling me you've got superpowers but the price is you turned into a sexy lady?"

Ralph gave me a withering look. "It's not funny, man. Do you know how hard it is to dodge bullets when your boobs won't stop bouncing?"

I wiped a tear from my eye. "Well, you know what they say, with great power comes great... curves."

"Har har," Ralph said, unamused. "The worst part is I can't find a suit that fits properly. Every time I jump, I feel like I'm gonna pop out of this thing!"

I couldn't help but glance at his new profile. "Well, I must say, the suit does accentuate your, uh, assets. Makes your ass look fantastic."

Ralph's eyes narrowed. "If you breathe a word of that to anyone, I'll slap you into next Tuesday."

"Hey, it's a compliment!" I said, holding up my hands defensively. "Just saying, if you weren't my buddy, I'd be asking for your number."

"You're impossible," Ralph grumbled, crossing his arms—well, kind of, given the new chest situation. "Anyway, I came for your help. I need to figure out how to reverse this."

"Why, Ralph? You can still be a hero, right?" I chuckled. "Think of all the crimes you can stop with that fanbase you'll gather."

"You have no idea, man. Last night, I foiled a robbery, and the robbers asked for my Instagram handle."

I burst into another fit of laughter. "Well, you always wanted to be famous."

"This isn't the fame I was looking for," Ralph snapped, but I saw the corner of his mouth twitch. "Look, just help me find a way to turn back before I end up on the cover of some fashion magazine."

I sighed, wiping the last tear from my eye. "Alright, alright. I'll help. But you gotta admit, this is pretty hilarious."

Ralph grinned reluctantly. "Yeah, I suppose it does make for a good story. Just as long as it stays between us."

"Deal. But seriously, let me take one pic. For science."

"Absolutely not."

And so began our quest to turn Ralph back into the guy he was before, though part of me knew that no matter what happened, things would never quite be the same. After all, how often do you get a chance to live out a comic book origin story—complete with plot twists, laughter, and a ridiculous amount of spandex?
