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.
Someone owe’s vole a Kickpoint or three. (see last weeks comments)
5 Kick Points each for vole and SVGeezer for exposing the “Cecil didn’t really steal Green Ring’s power narrative…”
Cecil is kinda buff, right? Did not expect that.
And why couldn’t Succubus, we’ll go with that name, beat “that karate girl”? *
*speaking of beating, pretty certain dead horse beating is going on here…
Those muscles are all airbrushed onto his underarmor.
As for Succubus, there are several possibilities: Cecil did call her out for being weak in her present state (compared to historical levels of tramp-iness). While she can deadlift 500 pounds fairly easily, she still has to catch the tiny Asian lady to hurt her, but would probably eventually win if the fight continued… OR… Succubus is play-acting and not really trying to hurt her…. OR… Lady Crane has a super power we haven’t seen yet… OR… Succubus just keeps rolling “1”s…. OR… some other secret that will be revealed in about… 3 pages?
Wow! Major screw up. I totally need to award myself a dummy no prize. I have been planning from the beginning of this chapter for Cecil to announce his new villain name of OMEGA Lord. Hence the glowing OMEGA symbol. And apparently I had a huge brain fart and was still thinking of the Real SuperheroinesVerse and OVERLORD Beretka… I could correct that. But, ironically, this is also probably the Last Appearance of Omega Lord.
