“I’m going to hit you with so many rights, you’re going to beg for a left.” ~Chuck Norris from some movie.
As Kickman fights against the tyrant Superior Man, let us give thanks to brave Americans that fought against tyranny in the 1700’s. Before an epic, nut-kicking Rochambeau duel for the fate of the free world, I feel like a superhero should be giving some kind of inspirational speech like President Bill Pullman in Independence Day. But that’s not really Kickman’s style.
Happy 4th of July everyone! Well, everyone in the U.S.A.
Whoom! Ka-Boom! I love the way he keeps saying the sound effects! It’s like Babe Ruth calling his shots.
Half a degree off… typical Matt. So focused on the trees he forgets to see the forest.
That’s been one of Kickman’s idiosyncrasies since his origin chapter. Got the idea from Ewan MacGregor as Obi Wan Kenobi. Apparently during the filming of Phantom Menace he just could NOT stop making lightsaber noises with his mouth. I’d probably do the same if I were cast in the role…
First kick ended with the S-hole 18 miles from point of origin. At that kind of range, half a degree could wind up taking out the wrong building, or even shortstoping & winding up several miles from the intended checkpoint. Matt’s job has always revolved around keeping Kickman on task & on target.
Edit: Matt just has more help doing that job on this one.
Wait, that’s not Kickman saying things, is it? He’s got a guardian angel, calling the shots for him!
The speech in text bubbles are color coded, and will become apparent pretty soon how they are all communicating. So the blue box with the gold letters are Kickman. Grey is Sidekick Matt.
No, I mean, Kickman did not say “Ka-Boom.” The speech bubble is clearly not pointed at him. An invisible compatriot?
Oooooh… No that was supposed to be Kickman talking. I just got lazy with the bubble tail. I can see how that would be confusing, especially since his mouth isn’t open in that scene.
Does a successful dodge trigger a free counter?
If so:
1. Kickman has yet to have ‘his’ turn; and
2. Superior Man went twice in a row, which means that he’s subject to a 3-kick penalty;
Kickman therefore is entitled to 5 more consecutive shots…
The rules lawyer is out in force! Kickman didn’t dodge, Superior Man just missed (somehow)… Kickman just took his turn before Superior Man had a chance to plant himself and steel himself for a nut kick.
If I ever make it into the comic, it will be as ‘The Rules Lawyer,’ with the Power to Complicate.
Amazing he keeps missing- I think this might be a clue…
i was wondering since he was kicking with the right foot but i just realized hes kicking the left nut
He is indeed. Kicking with the toe helps to pinpoint a single small target.
How small? Is Superior Man Superior Compensating?
Kickman would probably call it small as part of his trash-talking regimen, but that would be in comparison to a soccer ball. But, truth be told, Superior Man is superior in that aspect as well. Amazon knew…
I was quite sure Bliuestreak was moving Kickman, so Superior Man kept missing … but she is “only” transporting him to the next (kick-) location ? Curious to see what makes him miss…. mental ilusion?
Good teamwork for sure until here…
A good guess, but Superior Man’s super speed is faster than Bluestreak’s super speed, so he would spot her for sure. Kind of like that scene in the Justice League movie where everyone is piling on Superman and Flash enters the fight and Superman just glances over his shoulder, makes eye contact and starts tracking him. That was cool.
Kickman is kicking an ass.
in the left nut.
Nice one
Does Superiorman miss cause Kickmann knows where he is kicking cause he kidnapped psyhawker (or how he is spelled) and can dodge preemtivly?
Good guess, but nope
