Okay, let's try this again. I think the trick is to leave some slack in the rope.
Name: Graceful Ninja
Description: The mask looks like a stereotypical black ninja mask. The acompanying costume is a black leotard.
Gimmick: Has a black belt in jiu jitsu, judo, and karate. (Level 1)
Weakness: Being attacked by clenched fists. (Level 4)

Help the ninja tie the guy. Once he's done with him, Golden Star stands heroically over his body for the cameras.
Name: Golden Star
Description: A black mask with a big and very bright golden star covering the frontal part of it. It comes with a black martial arts Gi with a golden belt. The suit also includes a golden cape with a star pattern that is always waving in the wind, even indoors.
Gimmick: Famous [2]: The iconic suit is exactly the same as the one used by the superhero protagonist in the global hit movie "Star of Justice". This does absolutely nothing remarkable, but maybe it will attract more fans and extra acclaim from the masses when doing heroic, noncombat actions like: doing heroic poses, heroic entrances/escapes, helping a cat stuck in a tree, heroic smiling at the camera, heroic boasting to the enemy, etc.
Weakness: Fight? [5]: Wait, you mean REAL fighting? Golden Star doesn't know how to perform any type of attack but basic punches, and these are even weaker than those of a normal human. He's incredibly weak in strenght and terribly unskilled in combat, with a high tendency to self-injury.
Signature: Punch of Justice! [5]: Golden Star calls upon the power of every single fan around the universe and uses all of their strenght for a single, ultimate attack. He punches the enemy with the strenght of a thousand suns, completely obliterating everything in it's path. The attack deals massive damage to anything it connects with and destroys anything it collides with. It takes some time to wind up, leaves the user exhausted and it's destructive potential doesn't discern between ally or enemy.

[1+1]
Ninja gives the line some slack and then gives it a good pull, along with golden star. The line immediately uncoils from around the man's arm and the both end up stumbling back. They stumble back a good two steps before the third step is violently jerked out from under them. Their backwards momentum seems to have been multiplied several hundred times and sent them hurtling backwards as though fired out of a cannon. They also seem to be arcing upwards, in a reverse parabola, spiraling upwards into the sky.
"Welcome back! How was your nap? Care to tell us what's going on on here?"
Press her further into the sand.

Anyway, Miss, It was a lot of fun. I'm sure they'll take good care of you up on the Station.
Hey, do you like cactuses? I still have one. I bet it'd look good in the picture.
Threnody, I never got to use the weed whacker. Do you want a go with it?"
Babble about the benefits of imprisonment. Call Golden Eagle for a ride.
Also, try to get one of those photographers who makes keychains to take a picture of the three of us. Plant the Saguaro nearby so it looks like we're at a desert beach.

Effectively just observe and let the welcoming committee do their job. Only engage if the aliens do something hostile, and even then only protect others until it becomes obvious the hostile action is intentionally malevolent instead of just a misunderstanding. Golden Eagle emphasizes that last point; Earth almost went to war with Mars the first time the Martian's landed and their greeting was misconstrued as an attempt to strangle the emissary. Apparently the welcoming committee is already waiting at the projected landing site; for the moment you'll just be acting as security; unless things get weird or dangerous.

"I'm afraid we've won, ma'am; you're going to have to come with us. Don't worry, I'm sure we're going to have lots of fun with you."
Hot Head gets about 20% of the way through processing the subtext of that statement before Threnody shoves his hands into the sand, one at about her chest height and the other somewhere around her lower pelvis.
"We....have...to...go....DEEPER!" he mutters, failing to do literally anything but grope around blindly.
Hot Head's face turns red. It starts at her cheeks with a startled expression but very rapidly swells to cover the rest, veins throbbing at her temples. The sand on top of her turns into molten glass within an instant [6] and Threnody dives backwards, yelping and shaking hot globs of sand off before it can burn him. Hot Head rises up on a cloud of fire and points one finger right at Threnody's face. Heat shimmers off the extended digit and a tiny point of white hot light flickers into existence right at the end of her finger nail.
"I'm going to cook your brain inside your skull and eat your fucking eyeballs." She hisses in a low and very serious voice.
"Honestly lady we just want to restrain you and give you a ride on the Finger of Justice!"
