KICKMAN

Oh, good. Eddie finally decided on his super name. But is he a super villain? Superhero? You know what, it doesn’t matter as long as he submits the proper forms and Kickman, LLC gets to collect the reward for him.

Congrats to vole and SVGeezer. Vole for trusting in Grayhawk’s layers of contingencies and SVGeezer for spotting the discrepancy in the “Winter Soldier” manuever. Yes, the bracer that contains the green fairy stayed on Grayhawk’s wrist and a little orb just flew out of it. True, Grayhawk reacted with disbelief… but that was not just reacting, it was acting!

When you think about it, if you are going to spend a couple months brainwashing a fairy with a hypnotic trigger, you want the trigger to result in “You become MY slave,” not “you become the slave of whoever says these words.” That’s just silly. You have to be efficient with your brainwashing juice.

This was not even an advanced plan. This was Matt calling an audible from the line. Good thing he took those Improv classes and starred in that YouTube series.

And hey, looks like we don’t even get to see any of the multi-billion dollar armaments on Cecil’s new armor. Like all super-expensive weapons of mass destruction (COUGH deathstar), it apparently can be caused to explode if you hit it just right from the inside.

This was another embarrassing defeat for Luthor Alexander III. But, let’s face it, the heroes were about to die anyway even without him taking part in the battle. Have they got any more strategies to capitalize on the power vacuum in the villain hierarchy? Let’s find out.
