Editing Kool-Aid Man (Marvel Comics) (section)

=== Thirst in Space ===
Warren, Scott, Maria, and Jeanie are enjoying a day at the amusement park when their fun is disrupted by a massive Thirsty that raises the park's temperature to unbearable levels. This monstrous Thirsty, it turns out, is part of a sinister plan hatched by a group of Thirsties aboard a space station resembling an angry sun.

Desperate for relief, the kids summon the Kool-Aid Man. He confronts the giant Thirsty, but his attacks pass harmlessly through it. Realizing it’s a hologram, the Kool-Aid Man uses his Cool Copter and a mirror to redirect the projection back into space, causing the hologram to vanish. The kids rush to thank their hero, with Jeanie planting a grateful kiss on his “cheek.”

Suspecting the hologram was controlled remotely, the Kool-Aid Man and the kids locate Professor Otis Kline, who admits he has a rocket capable of taking them into space to confront the Thirsties—but he doesn’t know how to start it. After the Kool-Aid Man accidentally activates the rocket by tripping over a lever, the kids take the helm, confident in their abilities thanks to their knowledge of sci-fi movies.

In space, the Thirsties attack the rocket. The Kool-Aid Man dons a jetpack and crashes through the wall of their space station. The Thirsties fire their thirst ray at him, but he is immune to its effects. When the ray gun self-destructs, the Thirsties surrender.

Back on Earth, the group celebrates their victory with a party. Professor Kline, still baffled by how the rocket works, bemoans his predicament, prompting laughter from everyone as the festivities continue.
