I would contend that since they're explicitly accompanied by verbalised sound effects rather than silent movement and facial expressions, Onomatopoeia's effects are not mime effects.
I'm on Flexile Dark. That's just the way the theme renders bold text. I checked the actual post content and there are no white color tags, just orange ones.
What's the image source, by the way? While this does bear a decent resemblance, I don't think this is actually Luna unless you got art done specifically for this arc. And I doubt Grayven would mine seeing her in this more often.
Thank God it wasn't a fursuit.
Unless you hire someone else to make it.
So would we Paul, so would we.
I want!Or have a kaiju/mecha fight with Karshon...
The sound things make when they disappear.
I think we can guess. It's what sharks do, after all. Though if he keeps growing, I don't think a few human bodies will satisfy him at all. And working out what to feed the giant psychic man-shark is a level of logistics I don't think anyone wants to think about.
...Somehow, that makes it even nastier.
Technically, sharks don't even have bones. Just cartilage that does the same job. And probably best to leave the bad guys to their infighting.
And one thing Danner Formula doesn't improve is the mental defences.
Best to generalise, then. Because nearly any kind of specific descriptor is likely to be as bad.
Don't even think of giving her the Yellow Ring, OL. She's in no state to face her fears...
Guessing that cellar is a SHADE safehouse.
Hopefully there's something of use in here, assuming Carlyle didn't clean the place out earlier.
Well, that's a tidy bonus. Better hope there isn't any hidden surprised in them, like a post-hypnotic suggestion that makes the wearer more likely to consider SHADE friendly.
...Given his comic backstory, he definitely seems to be trying to get the biggest, baddest thing around to come and fight him. Presumably so he can prove he's better.
...Hopefully it doesn't take her current state as 'normal'.
Hopefully just surface induction contacts. I doubt having a stinging sensation on her spine would improve her mood any.
...What's the bet he drilled some holes under the contacts to allow them to connect. Painlessly, I hope.
Something bad. But on the other hand, the bigger it is, the easier it gets to punch.
A surprisingly understated reaction to a giant man-shark fighting brainwashed people. Must be the regulator flattening out her state of mind...
...Besides the gradual poisoning of the Life Entity, by way of its host world.
And it also makes it very obvious that the Mask was your objective. So if anyone guesses what it's really capable of...
Though he'll probably have a nark on for you, OL.
...No, this does not seem like the situation that deserves the Godzilla Threshold, OL...
Honestly, even Superman would be a little lost here, OL. I mean, he's likely side against the giant man-shark that eats people.
You're not the only one not convinced, Tuppence...
Don't worry, it's OL's plan, he gets to be the one to explain it to Batman.
...So not a good time, Ono-boy.
...until I reach the well-locked door to the out-of-spec basement.
I look past her, and he's-. I just point.
Hopefully he's thinking of the food item and not something else.
Yep. When applied properly, almost any superpower is lethal.
I hope that doesn't leave any lasting effects on him. Does his Enlightenment somehow let him emulate Enlightenment from other colours?
I assume WSWD means "What Would Superman Do?" so it should be WWSD.
British slang roughly translates to hamper or perhaps disable.
By the grammar of the sentence, "might even be What Superman Would Do." WSWD.
Interesting that he used these instead of something else.
I agree, it really seems wildly optimistic. Surely Finality Man has fought and won against Superman and other Kryptonians? I really don't get the impression that Karshon is stronger than a Kryptonian. And anyway, while killing Finality Man would be useful, he's just an enforcer. Mannheim will still be controlling everyone, and if Finality Man does die, I doubt Mannheim would be stupid enough to turn up (although I suppose he might be forced to by New God stuff).
That makes a lot of sense. Thanks.
Thank you, corrected.
Scared out of their mind and filled with yellow light is arguably a better state than they are in.
At least we now know Karshon's objective. Hopefully this will at least inconvenience Mannheim while Paul prepares his plan.
Okay, then. Pretty likely he does need line of sight. Which he's going to have a hard time keeping with light-speed weapons tracking him. And good idea on the sonic suppressors. If he actually needs to make an audible sound to trigger its cause, that'll bollocks him nicely.
Nice. Distract, divide and conquer with prejudice. Because I doubt Tuppence will be in any mood to be gentle.
...Yep, Ono-boy's in for a world of pain. Perhaps he'll learn a few new sounds for breaking bones.
Sloppy, but she's a little upset, so it's forgivable.
Seriously, are you just making random sounds, Ono-boy? What the hell would that...
...Ah.
Okay, then. Grenade misfire. And losing badly now that he has to fight a battle on two fronts.Painful, mostly due to the cells literally exploding from the sudden heating of their internal fluids.
Yes, best not to have friendly fire. I doubt she'd suffer as badly as he was, but still...
Very well done. Now, just slap a ball-gag in his mouth and hogtie him while you sort the other problem out.
You can but hope, though given his previous targets...
...Ono-boy might just be an arsehole with a preference for heroic targets.
With any luck, he's back to being a mere mortal now.
Since he's likely responsible for a number of rookie cape deaths.
Looks like there's a limit on his growth rate, then?
Stop attacking physically, you mean. After all, his mind is as deadly a weapon as his jaws or claws.
Interesting. The problem would be if the effect broke the Anti-Life... And then caused massive coronaries as the body gets hit by a massive dose of fear reactions...
Chance of him just handing it over freely now? Next to none.
Wonder if Sinestro is keeping an eye on things, if he picked up on that massive surge of Fear. Though that would require him to be actively monitoring Earth right now.
But of course he can't just ignore them, what with them trying to kill him.
I suppose their fashion sense makes it easy to identify casualties. Though the heroic population might be getting a little thinned out given things like Karshon's little head-pulling trick earlier.
Ah, the latest in a line of heroic fellows. With not the best taste in names.
But it did begin in the Forties, after all...Good, the less notice she draws the better. Might let her good into a spot to cover Carlyle to capture him when things go belly-up for the man-shark.
Pretty much. Your little improvised display has less priority than their personal signals...
And that just encouragers Karshon to get the helmets off. But since he doesn't know how...
...OL gets to do the work. Freeing heroes, even if they're in no shape to fight anything afterwards.
In other words, OL convinces him they're not worth his time to kill, and more lives get saved.
Kind of taking it for granted that he'll accept the offer, OL. But then, he does want to be the biggest, baddest thing around...
Careful what you wish for, man-shark. Or you may find you're biting off more than even you can chew.
Fingers in the right spot to gain leverage...
It explodes and creates LePaul's newest most powerful Arch Enemy...
rights stop -> right spots
Both appear multiple times, so there's an inconsistency. Can't say if either is more correct than the other.
I can't help but hear the "poof" from The Demented Cartoon Movie.
It means "disable".
To be fair, it is. It's one syllable longer and doesn't really come across as a cohesive single idea. Also, it came almost 50 years later (83 vs 38) so it suffers from being a ripoff as well.
