Wait! Blue... Blue! That gives me a great idea! Where's that invention I worked on and never finished?... This was my Vibrator Gun! It was supposed to destroy things by vibration, except that it never worked! But I've just thought of a way to fix it! I've adjusted it to shine out a blue vibration! When the blue vibration hits any blue object, it will cause the atoms to fly apart! It's like a shrill note shattering glass, only this will be much more powerful! Aha! It works! It blew that picture of Capt. Marvel, Jr., with his blue suit to shreds! And it will do the same to him in person!
