/loS/ [TEXT; filtered from known villains, Hodge] strikes typed then deleted

[notnickfury.livejournal.com]

So the big bug monsters come crawling and I'm busy dry-walling. Or, if you gotta be technical, having job interviews so I can GET with the dry walling and score the cash to put towards an apartment and be back on the train to Responsible Working Adult Land. Which is much more fun than the Wondering What Iron Man's Thinking As He Watches Me Pee Land. Buff, Will, three bedrooms miiiiight be a stretch... two okay? Found a couple maybes for you guys to see.

Have to say, city full of comic book char heroes = city full of property damage = they didn't even care my contractor's license is expired and not of this world. So keep up the good work guys?

Been a lot of uproar of the "grr argh die arch-nemesis die!" type around here lately, which I totally get. But at the same time... it seems like if you got an army of new heroes at your back and you're facing the big bad that knows you and all of your pesky weaknesses, might not hurt to, you know, trade off and give 'em something they aren't equipped to face like that X-Men issue when they first met Kitty Pryde and White Queen att uh, someone who isn't you. Just saying.

And... any sciencey-types know how maybe someone might be able to suddenly have actual functioning depth perception with one lonely little eye? Not that I'm complaining here.

Care to attempt to turn that third paragraph into something the rest of us can hope to understand?

[notnickfury.livejournal.com]

You're not a bad guy anymore? Err, girl?

Okay, you have Hero A and Villain A who've been duking it out since time began. Same for Hero B and Villain B. The heroes team up, A takes on B, B takes on A, the heroes win, everybody's happy (unless there's an epic tragic death which, actually kind of likely in these things), and just maybe those two wacky kids who've been making eyes at each other all these years finally get together.

Happens all the time.

I haven't done anything particularly damning here, now, have I?

Is this about Hodge or have you been watching too much television? It's rarely that cut and dried.

[notnickfury.livejournal.com]

I hope not?

In part and there's no such thing.

[apathynotenvy.livejournal.com]

People would have made a bit of a fuss by now, hmm?

I would think your ranting on proves otherwise.

[notnickfury.livejournal.com]

Unless they're busy fussing over all the other stuff.

Okay, guess I've known some living proof of the too much. But hey, don't discount the usefulness of both quality and not-so-quality entertainment.

[fuego-bailando.livejournal.com]

That functioning depth perception problem sounds like Xigbar and his sniper-vision.

[notnickfury.livejournal.com]

Whosit and his sniper-what now?

[fuego-bailando.livejournal.com]

Xigbar. He's a guy from my world, only has one eye. And yet he's somehow the best marksman in the entire universe. Something about his eye makes him able to target really well.

[notnickfury.livejournal.com]

As far as I know, it's just one boring old but actually there and functioning so don't think I'm unhappy about it eye.



Except we actually get super powers here or something, right?

[latrodectus]

Wait, what?

[notnickfury.livejournal.com]

That's what the grapevine says. Though if my power is SEEING, I'm gonna find a way to file a complaint.

[fuego-bailando.livejournal.com]

Something like that, although a few of us actually had them upon arrival.

[notnickfury.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah, THAT much I got, trust me. But I'd be one of the ones that didn't, and again, seeing? Does not count as a power.

[turtle-titan.livejournal.com]

I volunteer to set up the matches!

There's so much more mileage to the whole switch routine than just takin' on your own team's evil doubles.

[notnickfury.livejournal.com]

I uh, really don't think it's gonna be quite that organized, since bad guys and following rules never really happen, but yeah.

Evil doubles, huh? Of the robot or magic variety?

[turtle-titan.livejournal.com]

There's always the crazies in it for the entertainment value.

Sorta been through the robot thing already, so magic's next on my to-do list.

[notnickfury.livejournal.com]

I kinda wonder if that's the whole point of this place.

See, I did the magic thing myself and my friend had the robot. Only it was less evil twin and more double of mass confusion.

[immortalitea.livejournal.com]

And if you don't have an archnemisis? Can we do freelance?

[notnickfury.livejournal.com]

I... guess? I'm almost totally sure I'm not actually in charge. But if you're talking independent agent who goes where needed, pretty much always useful, right?

[nomorekaraoke]

Mixing things up a little? I like that idea, keep the crazies guessing what your game is.

[notnickfury.livejournal.com]

I'm all about NOT giving the crazies time to come up with their own fun and games, you know?

[nomorekaraoke]

Ooooh, boy. Yes. That'd be a roaring kind of yes, there, but you know, I'm not really good at caps-locking my voice.

Soooo, we're talking mutual exchange of insider four-one-ones between the big and strong hero types. That's gonna take some organizing, not to mention some elbow grease if I know my macho man stereotypes right.

[notnickfury.livejournal.com]

Don't forget the macho women. They're the ones you really gotta watch out for. They may look tiny, but they pack a mean stake. Err. Punch.

[nomorekaraoke]

Ah, yeah, I know the type. But the nut-cracking gals I've run into haven't really needed the machismo. They've been tough-as-nails enough without it.

They're the best, though, aren't they.
