12-Year-Old Agent C Foils Rex Velvet (Also Rex Velvet Is the Greatest)
We could all use some good news today, so why not watch this news report about how infamous supervillain Rex Velvet’s kidnapping of the Seattle Seahawks mascot was foiled by 12-year-old Colby, better known as Secret Agent C? Colby was diagnosed with spinal muscular atrophy as an infant, and being a superspy was his Make-a-Wish wish — one that Rex was willing to nefariously help make true. WARNING: If you watch this, you will almost certainly cry. You will also realize Rex Velvet is the greatest supervillain alive, and wish to become his henchman (I know I do). You can read more about Agent C’s adventure here — infinite thanks to Grady for the tip.
