So, hi!
[The setting: an ice cream parlor, somewhere in Heropa. The scene: Foggy Nelson, eating ice cream, because somebody offered him free ice cream with toppings and he's broke. He gives the camera a little wave and a friendly grin.]
I'm Foggy Nelson—yeah, I know, not my idea, but I'm not changing it now—and I have some questions. Don't worry, I got the "welcome to another world, you have superpowers" speech, I just have some concerns it didn't address.
[Lots and lots of them, actually, but he'll just start with the most pressing.]
First of all, I'm a lawyer back at home. Got a law firm and a partner and even a sign for our office. [A pause, during which he looks quickly away from the camera and lets out a quiet, tired sigh like he's already missing it, then:] Of course, you don't have any reason to believe me, and I don't have any proof to back me up here. Which leads me to my first question: do my qualifications still carry over into an alternate universe? Because, man, being an insurance claim investigator is the only thing that's probably worse than being a lawyer. [He's both, so he gets to be funny about this.]
Second, I might need a crash course on imPort law. I'm pretty sure immigration law doesn't quite cover "forcibly dragged to another universe" that well, and I only got maybe a sketch of the benefits of registration when I tried to ask. [This whole registration thing honestly comes off as a little sketchy to Foggy, but he's going to keep his trap shut on that much.]
Third—does anyone here know what I mean when I say the Avengers? How about the Incident? I—just need to know.

I assume you're from New York since you're using him as your next point of reference. You've got your Avengers starting lineup and Daredevil, but you should probably add more details about him since he's your local guy if you want to be able to narrow down your universe. Red costume, Hell's Kitchen, Avenger status, when he first showed up, major villains, stuff like that.

He's an Avenger where you're from? When did that happen?
