Round 1 goes to Java… whoops, wrong comic! I mean Kickman.
In case the last two panels are not perfectly clear… Kickman side-stepped and used a spinning back heel kick ala Tae Kwon Do to connect with nut while Superior Man’s leg was still in the air in mid-kick. That is some precision kick work if I do say so myself. But you have to have that kind of finesse when your name is Kickman.
Cue up some theme music!
Next: How many super-powered nut shots does it take to defeat the most powerful being on the planet?
Also, for 5 Kick Points can anyone tell me what day of the week this battle is taking place on?
Knowing Superior Man, this is happening on Superiday. There are no weekends, there is no change. Every day is to be spent in devotion to Superior Man.
Not correct, but SuperiDay is a great idea for a new day of the week. It would be good to replace Thorsday since that’s named after some much weaker superhero who is also a carpenter or something… So, 2 Kick Points for Xavier.
Everybody was Rochambeau fighting (huh!)
Those kicks were fast as lightning (ha!)
The camera perimeter was widening (woo!)
Topless tuesdays are best for fighting (hai!)
5 Kick Points to Rick Rude JR for correctly identifying the day of this battle as TUESDAY! (+1 bonus point for doing it with style). For those wondering how he did it, there was a previous Superior Decree that all women that are an 8.5 or greater on the Superi-Babe scale are required to observe Topless Tuesday… And I know some of you must have noticed that topless woman running through the newsroom…
Whoops, also just noticed by your email address that you are Evil Roy Slade… don’t worry your secret ID is safe with me…
I don’t know. Her chin seemed a bit strong to be an 8.5.
(heh!)
For you, the day Kickman regraced your the world was the most important day of your life. But for me, it was Tuesday.
Bubba, right now, you’re my hero.
@Matt, just a reminder that Kylie Minogue can kick.
I’m not sure I understand that reference… I’ve heard of Kylie Minogue from a song she released when I was in high school… and I found this on the interweb:
Alright so I know you can’t really answer this, but some speculation on Superior Man’s power. It seems like Superior Man’s abilities are based on what people believe him to be capable of. He’s spent a lot of time and branding on getting everyone to believe his capabilities are “slightly better than anyone at everything”. Kickman is attempting to distract everyone in a massive flashy show to make everyone focus on one thing; that Superior Man got kicked to the moon. If everyone is only thinking about that, then Superior Man only has the powers he displayed in that incident: The durability to get kicked in the nuts to the moon and not die, and the ability to fly back. Superior man didn’t actually kick anyone or display any offensive powers in either Rochambeau.
If this is the case, the whole plan relies on momentum. Superior Man is offenceless (he still has defenses) for as long as everyone is watching him get kicked in the nuts, but if the spectacle stalls, people will start to remember Superior Man’s other powers and Kickman’s toast. So, “how many super-powered nut shots does it take to defeat the most powerful being on the planet” indeed. Does Kickman have enough gas in the tank to overcome Superior Man’s durability before he recovers?
Ooh, this was planned. Good thing S can’t differentiate keystrokes. Also, good thing the news guys are making so much noise.
I recognise that ‘whiff’. Luthor’s neck fan. Have they recruited Luthor?? Is Kickman’s weakness Luthor Alexander the Third???
It would make sense from a macro-comics point of view. All Luthors must be enemies of all Supermen in every DC alternate universe according to the Monitors. But, no…
Checkpoint Alpha?
What is the highest point you’re planning on Bluestreak carrying Kickman to? Triple Zed?
(Kick!) (Kick!) (Kick!) (Kick!) (etc.) (Etc. to the square!)
Let’s just say that between Sidekick Matt and Blue Jay, they do have an endgame in mind.
