If not blows, it'll be the strangest argument ever put to paper. Huh. I hadn't seen it that way, but you're absolutely right: Lightwards is Remington's Möbius. Only in this case, Remington isn't terrified of his Möbius. (Although in Lightwards' defense, Möbius is extremely, almost ridiculously terrifying. ) Edit: It's a bit like David and Steelheart in canon. Except Steelheart believed David dead all those years, and would have killed him in an instant if given the chance.

I always rolled my eyes. My brother was the one to push that kid down and say, "Hope you have a lava-proof face!" Of course, none of them ever had an explanation. On Funtimes' end, she has him wrapped around her finger and she knows it. She'll give him enough leash to make him feel like he's in charge, while she bides her time and waits for the right moment. It's a dangerous dynamic, but it's a lot of fun to write, too. He sat down with his rifle and said, "Lightwards? Hate that guy." And I said, "Cool. Tell me about that." The fact that Lightwards is rather oblivious to his animosity makes it all the better.

"Yeah, well I'm wearing a bulletproof vest!" (Did anyone else have a childhood friend like that? "The floor is lava and you're dead!" "Yeah, well I have lava-proof boots!") Thanks! *insert blushing Fluttershy gif here because my phone won't let me* Like a lot of things with Remington, it was kind of spur-of-the-moment, but it worked out well. Lightwards did need an arch enemy, and not in the "My Nemesis" sort of a way he has with Altermind. Though that also adds a neat dynamic to the story.

Oh, certainly. I don't think there's any doubt about where Lightwards lands on the Monster Scale. It fits, too: I knew early on that Remington didn't like Lightwards because he reminded him of some other Epic, who became Koschei after a bit of thought. And, like Lightwards, Koschei crossed the Moral Event Horizon in his very first in-story appearance. I already have an idea of what she'll look like. I just need to translate it into pony form.

Aw, I love them! They look like one of those sweet old couples you see holding hands in the mall, the type that always finishes each other's sentences. And now I suddenly hate Lightwards even more. Note to self: Actually buckle down and make a Laurie pony when you get home.

"I wish I could see for myself...." "We all do."

You could always offscreen him: "Darling, are you sure? He's riding a unicycle." "So much potential!" "...Isn't it hard to tell with that Darth Vader mask?"

Would Lightwards' speech to the Empire require a lot of special backgrounds? That one might be a bit more doable, if you/we used the random pony generator to create a crowd.

Maybe we should stop writing so many scenes that would break Hollywood's entire special effects budget..... Nah.

The downside of having an insane character with a bizarre power: The special effects budget required to bring her adventures to the big screen needs to be just as insane as she is. Let's see....there's Sightline trapping CorpseMaker in the bank....Funtimes and Nathan meeting Lightwards.....Saccharine's introduction....Altermind meeting Lightwards....

Sane option: Aldo and Cricket recruit her as an additional peace offering to Lightwards. Insane option: She finds a pancake advertising Funtimes' beard-a-palooza, asks around, and learns Funtimes is one of the Epics at the MoNA. Parity fashions herself a fake beard and, when Funtimes expresses delighted disbelief that a woman could grow a beard like that, offers her services to the Wacko Brigade.

You could always do one panel for each of Lightwards' deaths from Jake Subbly onward and then show him grinning maniacally with his eye twitching in the last panel.

This of course begs the question: Who is next to be memorialized in comic form....?

This is just to say that I have the comic about Scorch's death up on a separate page on my phone and I keep going back to read it over and over because it's just so awesome and well done.

Oooooh. That sucks. if it's any consolation, the painkillers are almost more trouble than they're worth. I hated the way they made me feel so much that after the second day I just took 3 Tylenol instead. It worked just as well.

Yikes. I know how that feels. Hope you feel better soon, and eat lots of ice cream.

"Scorch," Panacea repeated. It was an ugly name, one that matched the burn scars worn by his victims. She could look around and see what sort of man Scorch had been. A man who would disfigure a large number of soldiers because of some small problem that, given enough time, would disappear. An Epic who was too eager to use violence, too quick to maim and torture and kill. What kind of ruler was Altermind, to hire a man like that? Panacea wanted to run. She wanted to turn and flee Thoughttown, flee Portland, run back to The Dalles and pretend she had never left. Altermind had hired a monster, and he had given the monster enough free reign to scar a sizable portion of his army. Flashpoint's hatred of the man hadn't mattered. Scorch's time at Thoughttown only ended when he defected to someone even worse than he was, if the name CorpseMaker was any indication. Breathe, Pan. Breathe. She drew in a slow, steady breath, followed by another and another. Strongsteel was here, so she had to be here. No killing, he had said. Altermind had at least accepted his terms. He could be reasoned with, even if he hired men without reason. "How…." She paused to steady her voice. "How long did Scorch work here?"

That's fine. Believe me, I understand.

Primary power: Causing a stalemate. Secondary power: Keeping Twitter alive so onlookers can live tweet all of the childlike insults we use.

If I told you my weakness was 115-degree heat, would that lead you to spare me? (Actually, what would probably happen is we'd end up sitting in the middle of a Phoenix parking lot with me holding a cactus and you going "Nyah Nyah Nyah, you can't use your powers!" while I did the same thing. )

But...but New Jersey sucks. At least conquer a state that doesn't suck. Or, if you're the type of Epic who enjoys a challenge, go mess with Texas.

I don't, but it was a pretty simple pony, so I think I could recreate it. Edit: The Surgeon General is a pony now. Let the battle for New New England begin!

There's the Sightline pony. Not my best work, and I'd be open to suggestions for improvement.

I actually made a Sightline pony a while back. Joe used it for a while, then switched to his current profile pic. Also….

Surgeon General Pony to come.
