  1. Oddly enough, I think Arsenal would actually do pretty well against the Joker. Of course, by the time he finished, there might not be a Dalles to protect, but I doubt Arsenal would see this as much more than an inconvenience.
  2. Some of those songs are suggestive and others are a bit dirty, so tread lightly. And that MCR song has an f-bomb near the end.
  3. I find it odd and a bit disconcerting that getting a character onto that list is a badge of honor. Especially since I have two and one repeat offender. If every boss was a badchull. If only. By the way, is Glamour a fan of Fall Out Boy? I can see him leading a charge with "Dance, Dance" blaring in his ears. And My Chemical Romance's "This Is How I Disappear" would make a fantastic evil!Glamour song, I think.
  4. Just one, if he happens to do it while hitting on Scribbler or Edgerunner. Other than that, not very many. I wish all my bosses were that cool.
  5. Eep. Cool. I'll have that up soonish. Out of curiosity, how would he react if she asked for two pounds of aspirin, a restraining order, and something on an official-looking piece of paper telling Arsenal that not everyone can create nukes out of thin air so MAYBE he should take teleporting a strange Epic into a command center as a desperate cry for help?
  6. "I CALL myself Obliteration….'cause I'm gonna OBLITERATE your SOBRIETY. But mine first. Yes….mine first."
  7. I wish. No, here's what I said. Book talks are basically trailers for a book, so this was my trailer: "David Charleston has seen Steelheart bleed. No one believes him. Steelheart is immortal. Invincible. The godlike emperor of what was once Chicago. Bullets bounce harmlessly from his skin, so how could a bullet graze his cheek? But David knows what he saw on the day Steelheart took power—the day Steelheart killed his father in cold blood. He has seen Steelheart bleed. And he will see him bleed again."
  8. (Unless Obliteration knew about his PI and teleported him to one of Möbius' pocket universes. I mean, there's still the whole cooldown period to worry about, so he and Deathwish would have about two minutes where they just stared awkwardly at each other, but still.) Jerk.
  9. "And behold, the man who enjoyed scoring with the ladies found himself in a place with not another living soul, and he was no more." Um....at his grandmother's funeral? Dare I ask?
  10. In a confessional booth with Obliteration on the other side?
  11. Um....being gnawed to death by rabid weasels with his weakness in effect?
  12. I can't decide if that's better or worse than what would happen if Impact had thrown said fifteen-year-old daughter.
  13. So long as Deathwish doesn't go "Huh, that's a pretty big grenade. Kinda looks like a guy--oh wait it IS a guy!"
  14. Well. That's one way to show the corruption taking hold, I suppose. Creative, in a...horrifying way.
  15. ….and since Obi-Wan is the one who said it, he's a Sith. How about Shard of Lucas? The first three people to get powers are completely amazing and change the course of history and legends for years to come. The next three are so lame they almost undo the awesome things their predecessors accomplished, so almost everyone pretends they don't exist. Then along comes the seventh, a person of unknown power and intent, and the world holds its breath, praying they will walk in the footsteps of the first three and try to undo the disasters caused by the next three….
  16. Which movie is that one from again? Let me Google it... …oh, right. I think I saw Oliver and Co. once and then went back to Aladdin and Beauty and the Beast. Here's Funtimes' manga avatar, by the way. It isn't exactly how I pictured her—she has much curlier hair, and this is yet another character creator with no glitter option —but for the most part I like the way it turned out.
  17. I took this quiz, thinking I'd get "When Will My Life Begin" or maybe "I've Got a Dream." I got "Be Prepared." I'M NOT LIGHTWARDS I PROMISE
  18. True, but how did David manage to avoid the Rending, if the water fear--which is the fear Calamity latches onto, and the fear he faces just in time to meet Calamity--was a red herring? Wouldn't Calamity have just used a different fear? Furthermore, I think David faced the fears born on the day his dad was killed. Living in Newcago would've forced him to face the fear of losing people he loved, or of seeing people die, or being helpless. Besides, if he had any residual fear from the bank incident, I think he would've faced them when he had his showdown with Steelheart.
  19. I think David would call having a ball and chain strapped to his ankle and being shoved into a lake pretty traumatic.
  20. Yet there's so many of us! ...maybe we're a really big cult? We should start saving up for a compound.
  21. Hi, Sam! White hair might do the trick. Or just have them glare at the camera, or add a speech bubble so they can say "You kids get off my lawn!" I'll play with it later to see if this one does a better job with Funtimes than the chibi creator did.
  22. As part of my internship with a public library, I did a series of book talks for a high school library club. One of those books was Steelheart. The day before I did the book talks, there were five copies out of nine available in the system. The day after, every copy was either on hold, checked out, or checked out with multiple holds.
