God, I can't believe Lake Havasu in AZ harbors these things. I've been to it. Lucky for me they don't know of any in CA --------------------

QUOTE ( TVTropes about... Well... Guess.)

A man who descending into poverty in his quest to have his artwork recognized, joined his country's army at its hour of greatest need and was decorated for his valor. Imprisoned for his political beliefs, he went on to restore the power and prestige of his country, provide housing for millions of his people, and lead the fight against Communism. He is still considered by many to be that nation's most famous citizen.

Same here.

Falcon Punch is the result of the Sun heating fists. It drives the Blue Falcon. Heating causes destruction of water into the pain, where it then hurts, creating rain. Rain creates flowing water in tears, which can then be converted into other forms through more pain.
