The Furious Five, despite their considerably less-than-furious names, are a rather remarkable bunch, each possessing skills that could make you wonder why you even bothered trying to accomplish anything. Tigress, for example, is so strong and determined, she could probably single-handedly solve the energy crisis by punching the laws of physics into submission. Monkey, on the other hand, is a combination of wit, agility and the kind of humor that could convince even the most serious of intergalactic bureaucrats to take a nap. Crane flies with the grace of someone who clearly understands that, in a universe where things often fall apart, it’s best to rise above it all—literally. Viper is patient and kind, a calming presence who’d give up her last cookie just to see you smile and Mantis, though smaller than the average interplanetary travel brochure, is proof that a few well-placed bursts of effort can knock over an entire space station if the timing is right.
They are, in short, the perfect team—one that works together not through any great strokes of luck (though there may be the odd one), but because they’ve figured out that, much like the universe itself, success doesn’t come from individual effort alone. It’s the combined force of their quirks, kindness and occasional bursts of extreme competence that make them a formidable group. And, as they would no doubt tell you, the next time you find yourself wondering if you can do something great—whether it’s saving the world or just figuring out how to operate the coffee machine—you can be certain of this: the universe does not appreciate shortcuts and a little perseverance never hurt anyone, unless, of course, you’re trying to fight a giant, sentient cabbage.
