Part 1. A Nifty Trick

Echo: " Next time, don't mess with the mailman."

So here I am, dutifully reviewing (or more accurately, synopping) a three and a half minute webisode.

This first part introduced letter carrier Echo DeMille (Kiko Ellsworth), who is running from someone we don't see. He is stopped by a cliche -- a vicious, barking dog. He tries to reason with the dog, but ends up having to defend himself. Which he does by screaming "Back off!" at it. His voice is amplified tremendously in that Heroes sort of way. The dog slinks off, tail figuratively between his legs. (It was Doberman; their tales are pretty tiny.)

Two Company guys approach Echo. It's the usual Company team of one gifted guy with one normal guy. The normal guy gives Echo the usual Company spiel about helping him control his powers, but Echo isn't having any. The gifted guy, a creepy-looking bald guy called Constrictor, wraps his arms around Echo. (Clearly, Constrictor didn't get that name for no reason.) Echo uses his super voice again to get free, and runs away.

Normal-looking Company guy is on the ground, bleeding from the ears and with cuts all over the place. Constrictor shoots him dead and calls Bob, saying something like, "It's worse than we thought." Constrictor sees the cell phone that Echo dropped on the ground and picks it up; there's a picture on it of Echo and his girlfriend. Uh oh.

So much for part 1,
