World’s Finest: An Exclusive Interview With Circe

Welcome fellow agents of Precinct1313 to another exhilarating episode of  “World’s Finest”  a series of exclusive interviews that aim to introduce you to some of our very favourite convocation of comic-book characters of… all… time!

Each episode we cordially invite one of our most treasured – Superheroes, SuperVillains, Costumed Crimefighters, Dimension Dwelling Demons, and, of course, Super-Pets, to answer a quotient of quintessentially quirky questions about life, the universe and cake (’cause everyone loves cake)

And so, let us welcome to Precinct1313’s sacredly sanguine sofa of shockingly significant sardonic secrets – the cool, captivating and calculatingly callous – Circe.

Precinct1313: Hi there Circe, and thanks so much for joining us on this weeks episode of World’s Finest.

Circe: Why have you summoned me thus mortal?

Precinct1313: Um, you, err, did get our e-mail right?

Circe: Your petty mortal conveyance of digital transference is rather beneath a deity of my magnitude, do you not think, worm…

Precinct1313: Sorry, did you say worm?

Circe: You are like a worm unto me…

Precinct1313: I, uh, OK then…

Circe: Ah, so the lowly worm speaks…

Precinct1313: Now look, I’m not appreciating this whole worm thing, I’ll have you know…

Circe: Are you threatening me!?, interesting, you show a backbone to some extent, which precludes your being an annelid, mmmmm, I shall then deign to answer your foolish mortal inquiries…

Precinct1313: Ermm, thanks… I think.

Circe: Thinking does not appear to be your strong point, hurry mortal, asketh me your questions.

 

Precinct1313: So, I believe you are known to be over 3000 years old, may I just say you look bloody fantastic considering… do you have any tips for staying youthful?

Circe: I am immortal, foolish human, I will not fade into dust as you shall one day.

Precinct1313: Thanks for that… now then, you are the daughter of the Titans, Hyperion and Perseis, was it through your parentage that you gained your almost unlimited magical prowess?

Circe: Somewhat, though most of my abilities were granted through my devotion to the Goddess Hecate, I have followed her teachings for many a millennia.

Precinct1313: You are also the former Princess of the legendary isle of Colchis, the famed land of Medea and the fabled Golden Fleece, but you have lived much of your life in Aeaea, was there a singular reason for your move from your original monarchical homeland?

Circe: I fell in love mortal, his name was Odysseus, and with him I bore three godlike siblings, three sons we ceremoniously named, Agrius, Latinus and Telegonus.

Precinct1313: Intriguing, now aside from your infamy as the most powerful of all the Greek Witch-Gods you are primarily known as one of the foremost antagonists to another famous Greek Princess… Diana of Themyscira also known as Wonder Woman…

Circe: You dare to utter that name in my presence mortal, that insufferable Amazon traitor means nothing to me, and neither do you…

Precinct1313: I, ummm, am eternally sorry oh great sorceress, do please forgive my faux pas…

Circe: And now you appear to be mocking me…

Precinct1313: Not at all, I was very much sincere in my apology… errr, you appear to be levitating and looking at me rather malevolently…

Circe: You shall suffer for your impudence mortal by becoming that of which I regard you… “Tout, tout, thrown about, your shallow life in dismay, rentum, osculum, tormentum you shall crawl on your belly like a worm from this day…”

Precinct1313: Is that some kind of spell… hey, wait a minute where are my arms and legs!? have you just turned me into a…

Circe: Yes mortal, a worm, now I shall leave you to your fate, farewell worm…

Precinct1313: Hey, you can’t just… Circe! come back… *mmmm, that looks like a nice  soft patch of dirt I could burrow into*  Wait, what… no, noooooo, come back Circe, come baaaaack!!
