"Freak is still holding tight to my shoulders and when they ask him for his name, he says, 'We're Freak the Mighty, that's who we are. We're nine feet tall and unstoppable if you haven't noticed.' That's how it started, really, how we got to be Freak the Mighty, slaying dragons and fools and walking high above the world."
