Flameman puts down Deacon!

As the result of an apparent unprovoked attack just as he was supposed to turn himself in to MFC authorities, Flameman, a suspect in the murder of two heroes battled the vigilante Deacon not far from the MFC Headquarters in Gotham. Witnesses say that as Flameman approached the building, an enraged Deacon hurled himself from a nearby building and began attacking the Meta Militia leader. (continued on page 2)

 The two former teammates stood toe to toe, pummeling each other for almost five minutes before a vicious uppercut by the Flameman left a dazed and disoriented Deacon crumpled on the sidewalk. The victorious Flameman stood over his attacker and could be heard proclaiming his innocence when MFC Enforcers swooped down to take him into custody. Is this the end of their long-time feud, or just the beginning?

Does Deacon have something to hide? His loudmouthed, almost jovial manner is known throughout Gotham, if he was the instigator in this battle of heroes it is certainly out of character. As always we'll continue to provide more information as it becomes available. Lois Lane reporting for the Daily Planet.
