The Muscle Growth Superhero Costume Shop

[CardiMuscleman]

"Congratulations" read the private message that landed in the inboxes of MuscleFantasies, Mdlftr, ChrisCHJ, Jellifish13, Flamedelft, Roboprobo BritMuscleJock, Suske and AlMacArthur, "you have been selected to experience the MGSCS, the Muscle Growth Superhero Costume Shop, the go to place for all your superhero dreams. Our shop is located within a mile of your home for ease of access and our friendly staff will be able to ensure that your dreams become reality. We look forward to bringing the hero into you!"

 

From the outside, the shop looked just like any other fancy dress shop and whilst the inside looked the same, appearances were very deceiving as MuscleFantasies soon realised when he entered his local branch. He was greeted by a very polite Englishman who said "Ah, yes, He-Man, correct?"

 

As MuscleFantasies stood there in surprise the shopkeeper chuckled and said "Remember that online poll you answered that asked what superhero you would like to look like? Well, that was our take on the concept of viral marketing!" and with that he placed on the counter a pair of leather boots, a loincloth made of fur lined with a metal belt, a breastplate with a cross in the middle of it, two rings that looked as big as the shopkeeper's neck and a sword that could stand against the counter.

 

"The changing rooms are through there, sir" said the shopkeeper as MuscleFantasies picked up the collection of clothes struggling under the weight and as he did the shopkeeper added, "By the way, sir, noises are permitted"

 

This is a bit of a variation of the theme of the Mr. Benn children's programme from the 1970's where Mr. Benn would enter a fancy dress shop, change into an outfit and then go on an adventure. The difference is that as well as going on an adventure, each person (the last person to vote for that option in the poll) literally grows into the superhero they voted for and they get to do the describing of what happens when they do, so with that in mind, MuscleFantasies, get growing into He-Man and see what adventures you can get up to.
