Finally, after 4 hours of soul-searching, Patrick turned to his
sister,Katherine, but who preferred to be called Kat. "Kat,I've made
my decision. I'm not going to be Batman, because, let's be honest
here, who can take seriously a guy who dresses like a bat? It's OK
for the movies, but real life? I don't think so". Kat said, "You got
a point there. What about Spiderman?" Patrick snorted. "Get real, Kat! Wall-crawling powers like Spiderman's? That's alright for
comics and movies, but not real life". The genie re-appeared. "True,
young man. I am glad you are taking this seriously, this superhero
business, but I can also extend a wish to your sister". "Would you
mind, Pat?" she asked. Patrick replied, "Why should I mind? When mum
died, and dad deserted the family, you gave up your childhood to raise Amanda and I. It's only right you should get your own wish.
If you like you could be a superhero too". "How much do you love me,
Pat?" "I would change genders permanently-as a superheroine and her
alter ego, Kat", he replied. "Then do", she said. Patrick responded,
"Very well. I will be...SHE-HULK!" "And your alter ego?" She gasped,
astonished, as her former brother began to change...but far more
drastically than she had expected. The genie explained, "He who was
once your brother is not only changing on the surface, but on the
inside as well". "But...how?" Kat asked, shocked.
