page 730 – so much purple
I haven’t looked back to check, but I’m pretty sure this is the first audibly broken bones in this comic’s history. Somewhere, the comic’s age rating just got bumped up a notch.
I feel a little stupid over how long this page took to finish, but the writing gave me a lot more trouble than it really should have. This was another one of those pages where there was a lot of bits of story chores that needed to get done before the more interesting stuff could happen (Gotta break the big gun so it can’t be used any more, gotta clearly establish that Stilez already smashed all those other guns they had earlier, and so on) It’s hard enough to try and be funny on a consistent basis, let alone when I’ve got a list of micro-plot points to cram in… Or maybe my brain’s just burned out from trying to get stuff finished for the Artist Alley table at Animazement later this month. There’s also that.
Well, I’m kinda about to fall asleep as I write this, so I’ll just slap the new Voting Incentive link here and go pass out.
(Historical Notes: A BIZARRE conversation emerged in the comments over what a My Little Pony version of Gright would look like. You needed to know that.)
@ Historical Notes: Honestly, we in the comments should have a whole bunch of bizarre conversations here. Particularly when there isn’t much to talk about the page. I mean, sure, this page is awesome, but there’s not much for us to comment on. I mean, what, are we supposed to talk about the criminal having secretly stolen jewels, Stilez easily defeating someone’s who’s greed overwhelmed their intellect, or the fact that this guy seems as if he may have some tier of the typical FISS Super Powers (Flight, Invincibility, Strength & Speed, when compared to normal humans).
Which brings up the larger conversational issue of what kinds of superpowers are available in the FOT world – we’ve determined that there are power-rangers-type superhero teams since it was mentioned at some point that Stilez defeated them, and certainly the presence of Avatar, Stilez, and likely Tax as well indicates that they have the ability to grant superpowers, so knowing humans, if superpowers are available, people of either the very rich variety or the mad sciencey variety will certainly try to grant themselves or others said powers. Superpowers may be pretty common.
As a side note, I don’t think Vengeance has superpowers per se. It’s been said that Batman’s superpower is that “He’s Batman.” Vengeance’s superpower, similarly is that “He’s Vengeance.” No additional powers are needed. Though his subspecies of Human does seem to have an ability to radiate creepiness…or maybe that’s just him.
As for the creation of a My Little Gright Pony, only the maddest of Mad Scientists dares venture into that territory.
Vengeance’s superpower is being able to not trip over his robe all the time
I thought that was Avatar’s Superpower? 🙂
Avatar’s Superpower is what allowed her to survive the change to becoming indestructible. Her ability to avoid tripping over her clothes is purely due to training, as that’s the only piece of clothing she has that is as indestructible as her, and people keep using her as a shield, so she needs the indestructible clothing to stay clothed.
Superpowers due to training are still superpowers. There’s tons of comic book superheroes whose superpowers are mostly or entirely training based.
