The Guest Stars of
"Krazy Kripples"

by Wild Willie Westwood


Christopher Reeve, Gene Hackman, Dr. Doom

Christopher Reeve arrives at South Park to show how stem-cell research has helped him gain more and more mobility. He sucks on dead fetuses to get at their stem cells, thereby becoming able to move his hands, then his arms, then his legs, then his entire body. He keeps at it until he becomes superhuman once again, but became Gene Hackman's nemesis when Hackman came to stop him from taking stem cells any longer. Somehow, Hackman trapped Reeve in a pane of glass and had him launched into space. Doctor Doom was one of the supervillains to talk when Reeve gathered the supervillains together to stop Gene Hackman (Saddam and Professor Chaos were the other two to speak). The Legion of Doom never got the chance to stop Hackman.


Bloods, Crips

Buff Crip, "58" Crip, Cipac

The Bloods are known for the red that they were, for the color of blood that red represents. The Crips are indeed known for their crippled gang members, who get that way in gang fights and assaults. Jimmy and Timmy join the Crips and find a few members who are crippled in some way, thus justifying their decision to join the gang. The buff Crip is the gang leader, and two other gang members, the Crip wearing #58 and Cipac the hobbling Crip, leave impressions in this ep.


Detectives Hyde and Richardson

These detectives come in from Denver to investigate the crime scene and ask Jimmy and Timmy about the gang members who shot up their houses. Jimmy doesn't understand the danger of these gangs, but decides to get them together nonetheless.


Larry King, Mr. McGillicuddy, Mr. Appleby

Larry King interviews Christopher Reeve about the ways stem-cell research has helped him recover from his disability. Mr. McGillicuddy, owner of The T-shirt Factory, sees what Jimmy and Timmy have created and decides not to make T-shirts with "The CRIPS" on it. Mr. Appleby, the rec center janitor, gives Jimmy and Timmy the whole night to get the Crips and the Bloods to get together and stop hating each other.
