    Michelle Meyers Pleads Guilty to All Charges

    By Falco Rockbert

    In a court hearing this morning, Michelle Meyers pleaded guilty to all charges set against her, including kidnapping, conspiracy, and false endangerment.

    Meyers, the former Channel 9 News reporter, pleaded guilty to kidnapping a female associate of Adonis several weeks ago.  She also admitted to hiring 7 supervillains to pretend to capture here so that Adonis would “save” her from them.  Court documents show that Meyers and Adonis had a relationship that went bad some years ago.

    The guilty pleas were part of a plea deal with Meyers and the District Attorney’s office.  The deal was contingent on Meyers cooperating with the NRPD with investigations on the operations of the supervillains she hired and the communication networks she used to hire them.  In return, Meyers would receive a shorter sentence.

    Michelle Meyers will spend the next 20 years in medium-security prison with possibility for parole in 10 years based on good behavior.

    Adonis did not comment on the proceedings.  The Peace Force in a statement said, “We’re all glad this has reached a conclusion.  Adonis is currently out on patrol, and understandably, he has a lot on his mind.  We ask that you please respect his privacy for the time being, and we will not be taking any further questions on this matter.”

    Michelle Meyers Charged with Kidnapping, Conspiracy, False Endangerment

    The former Channel 9 News reporter, Michelle Meyers, has been formally charged with kidnapping and 18 counts of both conspiracy and false endangerment

    Weeks ago, Meyers kidnapped a woman described by the District Attorney, Jonathan Colbert, as “an associate of Adonis.”  Meyers did not harm the woman, but her confrontation with Adonis did lead the NRPD to investigate her other illegal activities.  These consist of paying supervillains to “capture” her so that Adonis would then save her.  A past romantic relationship between them is speculated as the reason for her behavior.

    Since the 1930s, several superheroes have been known as Adonis, and almost all of them have had a female journalist as a love interest.  The reason for this is unknown, but Meyers was the current love interest for this generation’s Adonis, and she had previously broken the record for most saves by one superhero.  The first love interest of Adonis was Janice McManis, which was the name Meyers used to rent the van involved in the kidnapping.

    The NRPD and Peace Force continue to investigate the supervillains Meyers had hired for the false captures.  Most have been cooperative in supplying information about her activities, but the NRPD and Peace Force are looking into where the money went after Meyers paid them.

    Meyers has been kept in her own private wing of County Jail as she awaits her next court hearing in the next week or two.  Altogether, the charges set against her, if found guilty, would send Meyers to prison for the next 40-50 years.

  • Cape Finder Used by Meyers in Kidnapping Case

    Cape Finder Used by Meyers in Kidnapping Case

    The popular app, Cape Finder, is facing new scrutiny after it was revealed by the NRPD that Michelle Meyers used it to track Adonis and kidnap a woman.

    Arturo Studios, the maker of Cape Finder, released the app several months ago as a “fun way to watch superheroes” and to “crowdsource the movements of supervillains”.  Upon its release, several attorneys for superheroes expressed concern over the potential for supervillains to track them and their families.  Now it looks like those concerns have come to pass.

    “Ms. Meyers used the app Cape Finder on her phone and her laptop,” read an NRPD statement, “to track the movements of Adonis for the past two months.  She used the pins of other users to specifically target Adonis.  She followed his movements and the movements of the people he was with, using that knowledge to commit her fake rescue encounters and to kidnap a woman in an effort to confront Adonis.  It was integral to her plans.”

    Arturo Studios released its own statement, following the police report.  “We’re shocked, dismayed, and offended that someone would use our product in such a destructive manner.  We apologize to Adonis and to the woman who was kidnapped.  This was not the intent of the app, and most people have not used it as such.  Many of our users love it for telling them where to look in the sky for their favorite superheroes.  That being said, we have disabled our servers for the time being while we figure out a way to make our product safer.”

    This statement may not save Cape Finder or Arturo Studios.  According the CNET, the app has already been deleted from 50,000 devices in the past two hours.  “So many people are just getting rid of it,” said CNET editor, Marleen Franken.  “And I don’t know how they can retool the product to ‘make it safer’ when the whole point of the app is to track superpeople.”

    “You might as well try to get Facebook to stop reading your profile to sell you ads.”

  • Meyers Hired 7 Supervillains to Stage 18 Fake Rescues

    Meyers Hired 7 Supervillains to Stage 18 Fake Rescues

    While the surprising news that famous news reporter, Michelle Meyers, was involved in a kidnapping a week ago is still kept secret by law, the bigger revelation of her ties to supervillains is starting to unravel itself.

    The NRPD have said that Meyers hired at least 7 different supervillains to stage 18 fake “rescue situations” for her.  They interviewed the Master of Disaster and Keymaster, the last two supervillains Adonis “rescued” her from, in prison, and both confessed to being paid by Meyers.  In exchange for shorter sentences, they told the police and the DA how they were contacted, how they coordinated their actions, and how they were paid.  Using this method, the NRPD were able to locate wire transfers and large cash withdrawals on 18 separate occasions over the past five years.  The Master of Disaster was her most popular supervillain to employ, having paid him on 8 occasions.

    With payment records, the police were able to identify 18 “rescue situations”, and then it was just a matter of looking back at each situation.  The five other supervillains were Lightning Bug (3 situations), The Tortoise (2 situations), Mary Marauder (1 situation), Baby Bouncer (1 situation), and The Bee’s Knees (1 situation).  Keymaster was hired for 2 situations.

    Why Meyers would go to such lengths is not being discussed by the NRPD as it seems to be linked to the kidnapping.  For years, it’s been rumored that Meyers and Adonis were in a romantic relationship, but perhaps their relationship had soured in the past five years.  Whether the kidnapping and the “rescue situations” are related has not been disclosed, as the police are still in an ongoing investigation.

    Adonis was available for comment, and the Peace Force would not issue a comment.

    In a bizarre series of revelations last night, Channel 9 News reporter Michelle Meyers was arrested for kidnapping and setting up fake crimes so she could be rescued by Adonis.

    Meyers has been saved a record number 30 times by Adonis, but that number will surely go down.  Last night, Meyers allegedly kidnapped a woman, whose identity will not be released by the NRPD due to her supposed ties to Adonis.  State law prohibits the release of the identities of people close to registered superheroes when they’re victims of a crime.

    The kidnapping allegedly took place yesterday afternoon in a back alley in Johnsmar, where a rental van, rented by Meyers, was parked for an hour.  One resident noticed the van speeding away around 2:45pm.  That van turned up at a warehouse in Jamestown.

    Adonis arrived at the warehouse at around 6 pm and defeated the henchmen who were guarding the facility.  He entered to find Meyers holding a woman over a vat of chemicals (later discovered to be liquid green gelatin) via a crane.  Adonis saved the woman and apprehended Meyers.

    The reason for the kidnapping was not revealed, and Adonis and the Peace Force were silent on the issue.  The NRPD arrived to arrest Meyers, and the woman was safely returned home.

    Adonis also learned that Meyers has been paying supervillains to “capture” her in a ploy to be rescued by Adonis.  It’s unknown how many supervillains she hired.  Her reasons for doing this were not revealed to the public, but Adonis seemed to be “shaken up” by the ordeal, according to sources at the scene.

    Meyers faces kidnapping charges as well as multiple conspiracy charges.  If convicted at the maximum penalty, she could spend the next 40 years in prison.

    Yet again, Michelle Meyers was rescued by Adonis last night, marking her 30th save by New Romford’s Favorite Son.  It ties the record for most saves of one person by one superhero.

    Meyers, formerly of the New Romford Sentinel, now with Channel 9 News, didn’t have much to say about tying the record.  She was held hostage by the Master of Disaster and his henchmen, again, at the Grainger Aerospace Research Facility in Jamestown.  The MoD was apparently trying to steal experimental spaceship materials when Meyers came across them.  They tied her up above an active jet engine and lowered her down towards it.  For some reason, they didn’t use their guns to shoot her.

    Just as she was about to be skewered by the engine, Adonis swooped in to save her.  Once she was safe, Adonis went on to defeat the MoD and his henchman in less than a minute.  Meyers and Adonis reportedly had a tense talk afterwards before they flew away.

    When asked about the incident this morning, Meyers said, “No comment.”  When asked about tying the record for most saves by one superhero, she laughed and said, “It’s not a record I really want to hold, but it happens, I guess.”

    Meyers is currently tied with Judy Jenson, reporter for the New York Times from 1956 to 1981.  She was saved 30 times by the superhero Empire Man.

  • Michelle Meyers Rescued Again by Adonis

    Michelle Meyers was taken hostage by the supervillain Keymaster last night and was rescued, yet again, by Adonis.

    Details of the incident are still sketchy, but Meyers, reporter for the New Romford Sentinel, was at her desk writing a story on a white collar crime ring in the Gramercy Tower.  The story alleges several high level bankers and hedge fund managers were embezzling money and funneling it to various supervillian organizations.  Keymaster, using his mastery of keys, snuck into the Sentinel’s offices and abducted Meyers.

    Keymaster took Meyers to the top of Gramercy Tower, 14 blocks away, and held her over the edge of the building.  Despite having a sword and a pair of daggers at his disposal, Keymaster dropped Meyers, allowing her to plummet towards the ground.

    Adonis saved her, of course, and quickly defeated Keymaster with his laser vision.  Why Keymaster decided to dispose of Meyers by falling rather than by his blades could not be determined, but Meyers was grateful for the save nonetheless.  “I guess I just get caught by the dumb supervillains,” she said.  “Now I got a story to write.”

    Adonis would not comment on the matter.  This marks his twenty-ninth save of Meyers.
