Plot
It is a clear and sunny day that has befallen upon New York City, as the citizens go about their businesses throughout the city. Entertainers are seen doing their antiques for a living in the streets, while police officers keep an eye out for suspicious activities. The altruistic men and women of FEAST are helping the homeless by the dozens, while businessmen walk from one destination to another for esoteric errands known only to them. It is a clear and sunny day, and everything is going just fine so far.

In one of the city's many banks, a man is seen negotiating a loan with a teller. So far, 'clear and sunny' doesn't exactly apply to their predicament.
 * Teller: "I am sorry, sir, but judging from this information you've given, your finances aren't liquid enough for the loan. I've checked the other options, but I'm afraid you won't be able to pay the interest with an income like this."
 * Man #1: "Ma'am, I promise you I'm going to pay these interests on time. My finances may not look much right now, but I'm about to score in a big job at the Horizon Labs in a week. The wages are sizeable, and`--"
 * Teller: "Perhaps it is so, sir, but the interest payment begins next month, while your admission happens the very same period. That is, if you are admitted and that Horizon Labs truly pay as much as they advertised. Your current liability is the biggest problem here, as you can see..."
 * Man #1: "Look, I--"

As the two are seen continuing their conversation, an inconspicuous truck parks itself near the bank. Its driver, a man of rather considerable size, smiles upon seeing the fine establishment.


 * Big Man: "Another day, another payday. (Turns around and opens the partition to speak to the others in the container) Image inducers up, people. Let's get this done!"

It appears that the supervillain group known as the Menagerie are seen holed up in the container, all ready, eager, and willing to enact their latest heist. The White Rabbit, the Hippo, the Panda-Mania, Skein, the Squid, the Swarm, and their driver, the Ox. They are seen utilizing their image inducers to disguise themselves as regular civilians to keep them away from suspicion.


 * The Squid (Donald Callahan): "Hey, Panda, you sure these things are going to work?"
 * Panda-Mania: "Blame the Tinkerer if it fails to hide your tentacles, Donny."
 * The Hippo (Fluffy Lumpkins): "You know, I don't get why you and Lorina can't just get out of your get-up instead of having to use these things. Saves up costs, you know."
 * White Rabbit (Lorina Dodson): "Because I said so, Wumpus. The moment those face recognition Stark cameras see our faces even without all the makeup, every hero in the ten-mile radius is going to eat us alive."
 * The Swarm (Fritz von Meyer): "(Uses the image inducer on himself, turning his insect-infested face into a handsome face) That is... unless I eat them first."
 * Ox (Raymond Bloch): "Fellas...?"
 * White Rabbit (Lorina Dodson): "Chill your jets, Ox! (Hides her gadgets inside her coat before turning to the Menagerie) Alright folks, get ready for show time in three... two... one..."

The Hippo, disguised, opens the container's door and exits the trucks, carrying large bags that are apparently also disguised at mere backpacks. The Tinkerer's new image inducers have made it so that the Menagerie and any visible equipment of theirs look just like anyone else around them, synchronicity be damned. While the big ones may carry large duffel bags in reality, the image inducers make it so that the other civilians see them bearing backpacks instead of slinging heavy bags over their body.

The Menagerie enter the bank with no problems, passing by the to-be Horizon Labs employee on their way in. Inside the bank, the Hippo and the Ox wander around to keep an eye out for other interested parties, trying their best to blend in by simply looking around. On the other hand, the Swarm and Panda-Mania make their way to the security room, where the cameras observing the bank's safety are present. Before entering the area, the latter deploys a gadget that generates a zone of silence around the security room, preventing anyone from hearing their coming deeds in the security room.
 * Security Guard: "(Coming out of the toilet and seeing the disguised Swarm and Panda-Mania with confusion) Uhm, sir, ma'am, this is a restricted area."
 * Panda-Mania: "Yeah, right."

Panda-Mania front kicks the security guard, sending him flying across the toilet after crashing through the door. This immediately alerts the other security guards, but the Swarm makes quick work of them by transforming his body into a swarm of bees that infest the security room and paralyze the security guards in a storm of pain and terror. Despite their screams, Panda-Mania's gadget silences all those sounds, allowing the Swarm to accomplish his work without drawing suspicion.
