Plot
Silhouette is chasing his shadow to stop it from chaos (however it is attached to his body, so it is useless). He ends up falling off a cliff, noticing his shadow is gone. He screams in terror as he falls to the ground, however, a shadowed superhero (Zero) swoops down and picks him up. Zero puts him down softly at the top of the cliff. Silhouette thanks him, but then looks at him, and since he is a shadow, Silhouette screams in terror.

Sniffles comes up asking Zero to sign a photograph of him, telling Silhouette that Zero is alive. Silhouette passes out. Hours later, he wakes up in his bed and goes outside. He sees Hippy selling comics, with a line of people behind him. Silhouette gets at the back of the line, and when he gets to the front, he pays for a comic and takes it, only to see Zero on the cover. Silhouette puts the comic back and takes his money back, but Hippy points to a sign saying "No refunds". Silhouette ignores and runs away.

Silhouette soon sees his shadow escaping his body and chopping Sniffles, who is in the line. Silhouette screams and tries to stop it, but Hippy screams and sees Silhouette chopping Sniffles and slapping himself (his shadow) to stop it, but sees his shadow attached to his own body and Sniffles falls to pieces. Silhouette screams in fear and his shadow uses the comic books to give Hippy paper cuts.

Zero flies up and sees Silhouette giving Hippy the paper cuts. Silhouette screams, but his shadow goes to a nearby pond and scoops some water up in a glass. Silhouette's shadow shoots the water at Zero, and it gets in his eyes and blinds him. Zero tries to see, but begins seeing it weirdly, actually seeing Silhouette's shadow doing the work by continuing to cut Hippy. Soon, Hippy has been paper cut so deep his brain was exposed, and he is dead.

Silhouette screams when he sees his shadow, once again, back to normal, but Zero, still unable to see properly, punches Silhouette('s shadow). Zero keeps on punching him until he is dead. Zero's vision finally goes back to normal, but he sees Silhouette dead. Zero whistles innocently and flies away, while the rest of the line panics and runs away in fear.

One of the comic books land open on the ground, on a page showing Zero's hand glowing.
