Math is using that special "Boot to the head" move.

Apparently Vehemic energy involves Metroid?

And halo, batman, pac-man, asteroids, xXx, WWF, Wonder Woman, Bubble Bobble, Stargate, ... the flash... I know there are others in there, but I can't recall the references names.

So any dwarves that read the comic will be shocked to see that trees and bushes are not able to become violent.

Dwarf Fortress reference?

Am i the only one who noticed that heatwave and dabbler have their own auras.
π: 0 β©: 2
I noticed Dabbler's, but I think Heatwave is just on fire. XD
π: 0 β©: 1
No, there's a mandala-thing under her feet as well. Β Interesting implications there.

Is that Duke Nukem shooting at the speedster?

Sorry to ask, but do you have a picture of the full aura by itself?Β I'd love to see it.
π: 0 β©: 1
Sure, I'll post it up today.

And guessing Sydney's shield is protecting her from the aura?
π: 0 β©: 1
Yes, if you look closer you can see her shield cut the aura and protecting Sidney and everything behind her

*Edit*
Thought I saw some stuff I recognized in the Ring Death Toll's passed out in, but according to the comics's comments, it's all Metroid icons.
I do see a slightly-wrong Bat-Symbol near that *vorp*-ing Harem, though.
π: 0 β©: 1
More than a few metroid symbols, but where are you seeing the chevrons out of wondering?
π: 0 β©: 0
Okay.Β Little easier to see the aura in effect.
And I would have totally missed the 'shadow' that Halo's making as well, so thanks for posting here!

"better plan forming"... that's why syd is absolute gold.

I think the shield blocking is important, like if Sydney pushed it far enough, she'd be able to block the field, or maybe cover V with it and stop it nearly completely. By the way, the comic is awesome! Though, while I like the fight, and will probably reread the whole thing in one go like it's supposed to be read later, I can't wait for it to be over so that we can have more slice-of-life hilarity and more screentime of Tubey the Poster Tube! Wahahaha!

Interetingly the only one we see not back up and fighting (besides the previous husks of Concreta i think her name was) is Death Toll.
Also, is that a Metroid in the pattern? Just by the upper edge of the steamcloud forming where Heatwave and Iceguy (pronounced like Niceguy) is firghting, and again on the left side of SidΒ΄s "power shadow"?

Niiiice! There is a ring of Metroid symbols, not the Long Beam on the edge of the blank zone created by Sydney
π: 0 β©: 0
Hmm, let's see, I spy with my little eye.........
- the "coordinate alphabet" from Stargate,
- a bunch of computer/app symbols,
- theΒ iconic energy sword from Halo,
- the Triple-X logo,
- what looks like a squid from Super Mario Bros,
- the heart, club and diamond from just about any deck of cards
- Pacman eating dots and ghosts
- a goofy Darth Vader mask?

And it appear's Heatwaves powers are magic base looking at the small rune circle under her.
π: 0 β©: 1
Holy shit, you're right.
Dabbler has a magic circle around her feet (hooves?) too, but that's hardly out of the ordinary.
Think Sydney will notice Brook's power-circle?
π: 0 β©: 0
Did Vehemence just make up that spell using popculture references instead of actual runic glyphs?
π: 0 β©: 0
Well, I see Stargate circles, Samus icons, a covie energy sword...
π: 0 β©: 0
There's a Metroid, samus logo, xbox logo, glyphs from Stargate and Stargate atlantis, A covenant energy sword, triple X logo, mmmm .....
π: 0 β©: 2
A pacman and ghosts!!
π: 0 β©: 1
And an entire circle of zapf dingbats!
π: 0 β©: 0
And the interesting little smaller grids under Heatwave and Dabbler (and nobody else). Hummmm...
π: 0 β©: 1
probably their individual auras, which gives evidence that Heatwave's power is from a form of magic?
π: 0 β©: 1
Personally I'd say that allΒ superpowers are magic. Except the ones that are actually technology, but tech that good may as well be magic anyway.
π: 0 β©: 0
Ahh, a close up shot good. I mistook the upside-down metroid near Heatwave for the Akaviri symbol for Dragonborn earlier

And Sydneys shield is blocking a section.. I'm sure that is not important, just noting it.
π: 0 β©: 3
Oh my god, you're right!!
π: 0 β©: 0
So, project the shield onto Vehemence, and the fight-compulsion stops?
π: 0 β©: 2
Projecting her particular shield around someone/something else would pretty much instantly solve every superhero problem ever, and quite a few non superhero problems... And that would be very very boring for a superhero comic.
And so it can not, and will not, ever happen. The artist has said this also.
π: 0 β©: 1
That's a fair point. Oh well. Β Looks like we'll have to see a more creative use of resources. Β I wonder if she could get Dabbler to co-opt that aura or something...
π: 0 β©: 0
No, she can only put the shield around herself. Dave established the a while ago.
π: 0 β©: 2
Huh. Well, she's shown the ability to include others, as long as it's around her as well (protection from from Maxima's big showy blast earlier. I guess she could just kind-of flash it on and off over herself and Vehemence to stutter his aura's effect on others, although that would require 1: Sydney to suffer the aggro aura herself, and 2: Sydney to be in close proximity to the strongest and most aggressive foe she's run into so far. Β So... might not be the best of plans.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yea, Dave talked about that to. But I love that Sydney is a Gamer and he is using that In story to show how she works things out.
Nerd power at work.
π: 0 β©: 1
Oh jeeze it actually happened. XD Β Except now it's all-in. No stuttering here.
π: 0 β©: 0
She just needs to stand in between Vehemence and an affected person to cancel out the effect on that person. Then just keep running around till she's freed everyone of his control.
π: 0 β©: 2
This implies that they would be freed once she left the spot.
Lets say she runs between Jiggwatt an V, then moves on to a new person.. do we know that J will stay free?
I don't think so. V's thing is a constant and out reaching effect.. its not going in waves or pulses.
I am thinking about ths in term of a Champions effect, which I also think Dave would.
π: 0 β©: 0
Except the moment the she leaves someone behind, they'll fall back under his control.
π: 0 β©: 0
Oh so it is.
Didn't notice that.
