Versus 2.2: Ben Urich (Marvel) VS. Lois Lane (DC)
You're a nobody with a big secret.
You're on the run and THEY know who you are.
You were the wrong person at the wrong place and now they are coming after you. If what you saw gets out, a chain of events unlike any other will come about.
The fate of two universes is in your hands. Reputations will be ruined, empires will crumble.
IF you live long enough to tell the tale.
THEY are after you, the ones who work to keep the type of secret you know amongst THEMSELVES.
You need to tell someone the truth. The truth about what you saw, what you heard.
You need to tell someone you can trust, someone you can trust to tell the people the truth. You need someone who'll report, not sensationalize. You need someone who can be trusted to give it to the people, plainly, without exaggeration. No embellishment of details. You need someone to explain the immediacy and gravity of the situation while getting across just how it'll affect each and every single person alive and you need do it now.
THEY are coming down on you and you have just enough time to tell ONE PERSON of what is to come. You dial a number, a voice on the other end answers. Your story is about to come to a close but the voice on the other end lets you know the truth will live on.
So, my question to you Second Printers is this: Who would YOU choose to be the person answering on the other end?

Lois! Seeing her in Birds of Prey was the best example of how her thoughtful she is as a journalist, and how sensitive she is to knowing everything there is to know about a subject while retaining her ethical standards.
Oh, Lois, easily. Urich has too big a history of covering up stories he doesn't approve of breaking (Daredevil's ID, Spider-Man's ID, Red Hulks ID and plan). There's no reporter less likely to break a major story than Urich...
Lois Lane!
It's no contest. Case in point is Secret Identity #3. What do I have to do to get Geoff Johns to resurrect Superman's Wife, Lois Lane!
Well, Urich chose to cover up all the dirty stuff he had evidence of Tony Stark pulling during Civil War, so yeah, Lois Lane.
Ya' know. It takes a LOT of guts to sit on stories like Daredevil, Spiderman and the Red Hulk's secret idents and NOT have a god-like superhero on your speed-dial to bail you out if word got out that you knew them.
Plus, he doesn't abuse his station. I've always thought that the concept of journalism has always been inherently corrupt...ie. get news to sell papers. For the simple public good-he doesn't sell out. That's a powerful, almost superhuman, personal ethic.
There's a lot of good reasons to vote for Lois-but I think Urich deserves a vote.
They're both agents of the corrupt, far-left liberal media that has slandered great American patriots like Dr. Doom and Sarah Palin. Where are Sean Hannity and J. Jonah Jameson when you need them?
