Pheromone defense… most unexpected. Also, double-sized page today!
Here’s your first look at the team of heroes that Kickman, LLC was able to scrounge together in order to stand against Superior Man. Only one of them is brand new (chubby guy in black and red), but if you’ve been paying attention you probably know his name. I’ll give 3 Kick Points to the first person to tell me his name, plus an additional 3 Kick Points if you can guess his powers.
**For those of you that follow Kickman on HIVE, you need to go to Kickman’s HOME PAGE and leave a comment there in order to qualify for Kick Points. You know, until someone jumps in to the Hive Comic community to make a Comic Crypto Coin, or if I decide to make a Hive-backed Kick Coin. Also, if someone makes a Comic Crypto Coin, I think it should just be called a Krypto Coin in celebration of Superman’s dog.
Now, that everyone’s “thought colors” have been revealed, you can go back a few pages and figure out who is saying what in their telepathic chatroom.
Also, now that their pheromone defense has been discovered, how do they keep Kickman (and everyone else) from getting Superior-pulped? Find out next week in the Adventures of Kickman. Or The Hero Formerly Known As The Hero Formerly Known As Kickman.
Oh, no! Run, Blush!! And, in retrospect, appearing in costume could have been *ahem* short-sighted.
Not Blush, Sticky Buns. It’s funny I accidentally switched their names during that night club arc, too.
Also, I think there’s a law against super hero-ing without a superhero costume. Actually, I forgot, it’s my world. There is definitely a law! :0D
Oh! Well played!
Sticky Buns… & with a hand stuck to her butt.
A fierce demonstration of her super powers! Superior Man is doomed! *eye roll*
That’s why Kickman is winning:
Sticky Buns’ Amazingly Attractive Ass is pulling ‘Superior’ man’s aim off, causing him to miss his kicks.
I think the new guy is named Buoy, and his power is to make himself and other things lighter. He makes himself and Kickman light enough that Blue Streak can carry both of them to the next kickoff in order to keep the pressure up on Superior Man.
His name might be Sky Buoy or Air Buoy. I would favor Air Buoy to echo the Golden Age Airboy comics. 🙂
Aw maaan! I thought the bubble read “Nice kick Buoooooy!” not “Nice kick! Buoy, Bluestreak…”.
Anyway great job, and a very superior Air Bouy pun. I have some reasonable doubts whether you are a dad, but you’d make the ol’ stereotype proud^^. Not sure i’ve conveyed my thoughts properly, so just to clarify on what I actually meant: You = cool.
Buoy is correct! Also, correct on his powers! Buoy has the power to make an object float. He is making Kickman lightenough that Bluestreak can move him around at superspeed. We’ll see how useful his power is as the rest of this battle plays out.
So, 6 Kick Points to Joyce!
Thanks!
I remember wondering about the logic behind our supreme baddie Stormtrooper Man constantly missing. As this is the best comic ever for me, with Epic Legs McGyver and Self-depreciating-ninja-sidekick and gray on grey coffee mugs and Australien female cobra commander, I was seriously worried about plausibility of any explanation that can be made, and actually started chanting in my head “please don’t be an ass-pull, please don’t be an ass-pull”.
It’s been 2 days since I’ve read the new strip and I still cannot believe my fears were technically correct.
Also, huh, he called Sticky-buns an asset. Was that on purpose, did you giggle writing it?
I actually did not catch that at all, so 3 Kick Points to Rick Rude JR for adding an additional unintentional joke to this week’s Kickman!
Thank you for your praise. Which is of course the currency that most webcomic artists get paid in. :0P
Minor nitpick but since it’s Turbofist’s thought, shouldn’t it be “Neither of *us* could survive two seconds”?
Whoops! Good catch. 3 Kick Points for BaufenBeast for catching my error.
