Ooops. Radioactive water dumped into Florida's drinking water supply. Okay, so it's only slightly radioactive, and that water does move slowly, but I'm still holding out for someone with an alliterative name to gain cool alligator powers, rather than develop tumours and die.
Well, iirc, the word alligator does come from El Lagarto! But they're from a different order of reptiles than lizards...
