AsiaPundit had tentatively approved the Five Friendlies, and was simply awaiting details on their superpowers. Angry Chinese Blogger has the exclusive.:

Though information about MASCOT is scarce, and their existence has been denied by Beijing, Washington (now a subsidiary of Haliburton) and the RIAA. Some information has been gleaned from official communiqués and scribbling found on restaurant napkins.

From this information, Angry Chinese Blogger has been able to construct a dossier on MASCOT, and to put together limited profiles for each of its members. It has also obtained the one and only authentic and unedited picture of the team still in existance.

Mighty American, Subservient China, Obedient Taiwan

Each of the MASCOT team members has a codename ranging from Weapon X 1 to Weapon X 5, and can be identified by the characteristics given to them by their animal DNA.

* Weapon X1: Huanhuan, Zippo Lighter (Rumored to be an Olympic Flame)

* Weapon X2: Jingjing, Edible Panda

* Weapon X3: Beibei, Carp

* Weapon X4: Nini, Swallow

* Weapon X5: Yingying, Tibetan Antelope
