Jervis Tetch realized that it would be better for his new toys to have some little reminder of what they used to be. After all, they weren't actually Bonnie and Clyde, but a couple of silly mutants squeezed into those particular shapes.After a couple of slight tinkering, it was the crime duo Petra and Kat, with their lovable daughter Lolly. Petra was the muscle, the superhuman muscle, and Kat was the brains (with phasing powers that made him an excellent thief). And of course Lolly was their bundle of joy. Kat Barrow doted on his daughter so much that he even let her sometimes smoke his cigars. She looked so cute when she did it!
Though the part of him that had been Kitty Pryde remembered dear, sweet Storm. Kat hoped that Mr. Tetch could help him do something with that. Thinking of Storm was making the shemale really hard.

Meanwhile, Jervis Tetch was pondering his next option. The X-Men had brought some superhuman muscle to him, but the rest of the team was getting suspicious. He needed to do something about that.
And then there was his old enemies in Gotham.
And of course the opportunity of choosing a wife. Though that could wait for a little later. After all, one couldn't rush things.
Well, once Professor X got this special hat, the X-Men would have other things on their mind then trying to hunt down him.
