Comic titled "Personal Deficiency + Stats Knowledge = Super Powers." A man dressed as a superhero, with an eye mask, a cape, a star emblem on his chest, and spiky flame-like red hair, strikes a triumphant pose in a doorway with his arms raised, grinning. He declares, "Hahaha! I have lowered the average IQ of the entire room." The other people standing around the room look unimpressed and uncomfortable rather than threatened. The joke is that he treats being dim and red-haired as superpowers, framing himself as a villain for statistically dragging down the room. Votey (aftercomic): a close-up of the grinning masked man's face as he adds, "The room is now 14% more ginger!"
