If you ever met Lenore Zann (voice of Rogue from X-Men '92) in person, I bet you'd be "nervous as a long-tailed cat in a room fulla rockin' chairs".
An amazing YouTube video about "The House That Dripped Dough?!"! The link starts at the relevant point. Is she wearing a cape?

There really is an Illuminati in Marvel Comics.
Henry Kissinger should have gotten his own spinoff miniseries, if not an ongoing. Missed opportunity.
