Terrifyingly Strange Boss Battles : Pit yourself in a fight to the death against a stomach virus, a burning woman, and a man wearing a fireplace rug as a cape in oddly staged boss battles! Story Mr. Granderson, the owner of Granderson Electronics Repair, is a simple businessman. He works hard and keeps to himself. But somehow, his building has become a magnet for superheroes, who feel the need to stand on his roof to cast an eye over their beloved city. Having had enough, Mr. Granderson concocted a plan for revenge. In a form never seen before, Mr. Granderson then constructed a vast underground superhero elimination dungeon to trap all those who seek to trespass on his property. It was only a matter of time before Granderson would find success, having trapped popular "superhero" The Man in the Cape! With a "take no prisoners" pledge, The Man in the Cape must now fight against the dungeon's horde of nanotech driven creatures and bring Mr. Granderson to justice!
