    Just their bad luck that they decided to be there for this one. And you know, the E88's gotta have someplace to hang out in costume :p

    Now, the big question: What threat to Taylor is big enough that it needs Leviathan coincidentally coming down on its head?

    Alternately, how is the power of the queen of escalation going to react to a threat on the level of endbringers?

    Either way, I'll be surprised if BB stands much longer.

    Yeah, reading. I totally do that. Ignore this.

    That was a beautiful setup for Taylor's power. Oh so fitting, funny and nicely played.

    Hrm. Was her power nudging her to mouth off so that they'd react at the right moments? Or was that just her? (It's actually pretty important, with regards to how proactively she can potentially use her power. E.g., can she protect something or someone just by standing near them? If the powers can manipulate her, that's less useful, since she's as likely to end up wandering off at just the right moment as to actually prevent an attack.)

    that plane... Just did a pigeon imitation didn't it?

    Was that enough to kill Kaiser and Hookwolf? Wonder if that was bus accident was fatal for Cricket?

    If Hookwolf and kaiser survive, I bet they contract some disease from the shitstorm they just suffered.

    If Taylor puts those pics on PHO... E88 will become a laughing stock. Even worse if it's found out a 'normal' teenage girl beat almost all of their capes without breaking a sweat (and depending on how she was tied, with both hands behind her back).

    If she gets a cape name, Ladybug could fit, Ladybugs are associated with good luck.

    ABB best hope Taylor never finds out why Emma turned on her

    I so hope Amy become her friend.

    Hopefully the Empire 88 won't try to get revenge on Danny and Taylor. That would end terribly.

    Not for the the Heberts, they'd be fine. But the E88 probably wouldn't survive the experience.

    Fun fact: This is a totally real thing that ACTUALLY HAPPENS. Try not to think about that any time a passenger plane goes over your head!

    Also, we now know that Taylor's power will be proactive. Very, very proactive.

    Guys... can you imagine what will happen when Taylor goes to a Simurgh fight?

    No one knows exactly what happened, everyone just knows that no one had to be Simurghed that day, an angel statue, 2 rubber duckies and a whale were involved and just being told about what that person saw inflicts 2D6 SAN damage, let alone being there... :p Though strangely enough the madness doesn't manifest if damaging ways for those there...

    Heeee! What kind of missile do you need against the E88? That kind apparently. I haven't seen a Icy-BM gag in a long time (I think last time was in one of Spider Robinson's Callaghan's Crosstime Saloon stories.) Nicely done.

    I don't think there's any case of it being that large of a missile that "small" pieces breaking off of it are torso sized.

    Mostly the pieces as a whole are orange sized at best, and it's far less common now than it was in the 70s.

    That was hilarious. And now I can't wait for Lisa to figure out Taylor's power, then do her best impersonation of a limpet.

    Those were glorious. Pure, unadulterated crack.

    And yes, if Piggot investigates the incident she'll,suddenly get very pale and then either request a transfer as far from BB as possible, or realize that if she's on Taylor's good side she'll be relatively safe from the crazy.

    This sparks memories of a short lived show called Strange Luck, barely lasted six episodes, but weird happenings.

    Oh, that could be Taylor's Cape name: Happenstance.

    Basically, Domino has Shamrock's powers. http://marvel.wikia.com/wiki/Neena_Thurman_(Earth-616)

    Nah, Domino has a combination of a weaker level of Shamrock and Contessa's powers.

    Taylor can cause lightning to strike a power transformer a thousand miles away and never know about it. Until 1.2 tons of frozen blue turd arrives at terminal velocity.

    EDIT: 'frozen blue turd' is now my new favourite phrase :p

    It's a word, yes, but 'look at someone in surmise' isn't a valid use. (I think it's because it's not a state; when you 'look at someone in surprise', you are looking at them while in a state or surprise, but 'state of surmise' doesn't make any sense.)
