He's really not doing a very good job of hiding it, to be honest. EDIT: he probably immediately promotes everyone who suspects him of being menace. "Alright no he CAN'T be menace, he would've realized I suspected him and gotten rid of me, not promoted me."

Considering he can't turn his telepathy off he might be using the dreams as a dampner so he can get some rest.

Or maybe that's the way he has a good time, hire some people to take some drugs and pass out he pours himself a drink and get's entertained by their dreams.

New Strip! Well, that's that. I have to wonder about Patrick's ability to not only read a mind, but comprehend what he sees there, to gain a person's deep understanding and analysis of a subject matter. Being able to correlate these minds would imply that.

He read Alison's mind to use the exact same words Paladin said. Patrick may not be a supervillain anymore, but he's still kind of a dick.

I didn't catch that until you mentioned it, Patrick kind of breaks the fourth wall huh. His character knows everything the readers do and can make references to stuff he wasn't part of.

Does he have the ability to retain all of the disciplines he's learned, then? I wonder if he can nab Paladin's skills? I assume he can't steal her biodynamic inventiveness but he'd still be able to become her peer at existing technology.

I had a thought while Alison was still hanging around Paladin. With all the exposition and philosophical lecturing, I wondered if the slasher subplot would be resolved without Alison, to make some point about how Mega Girl isn't going to solve all the world's problems.

It's not like he's stealing or anything, they're on his payroll. Probably they didn't take that bit in their contract about their intellectual property seriously.

As the Patrick hivemind grows ever more complex he becomes a true Menace, traveling back in time to nip the world-saving powers in the bud.

That'd be too easy I suppose or maybe Patrick doesn't really disagree with what she's doing.

I liked today's comic. She should have said she'd go back to when everyone first got powers and shoot him in the head.

Killing Hitler means at least marginally improving the course of history (unless you're Stephen Fry) while still leaving you with a recognizable world. Okay, maybe Hitlerless world leads to the KPD winning in 1933 and then something something Stalin takes over Europe, but the general shape of things will still be intact. Whereas if you go back to the Library of Alexandria, you're changing things so early on that the world made out of that is absolutely alien and you have no idea if saving that repository of knowledge actually helped mankind or just enabled the Quth Empire to take over the world in 833 AD, or if the continuation of old Hellenistic intellectualism just prevents the Renaissance from occurring at all, and then there's also no scientific revolution and people still just fight with pikes or whatever. What I'm saying is, kill Hitler. Always kill Hitler.

Someone should write a novel where someone goes back in time to kill Hitler, only to find out that ever assassination attempt ever on Hitler was just another time traveler who failed. The plot twist? The character calls himself von Stauffenberg

I don't know that Patrick agrees with what she's doing, but I think his point here is that Alison gave this kind of poo poo up so she could try to save the world. Hunting down Moonshadow in the classic superhero/supervillain way is basically backsliding into old habits that aren't necessarily effective. (Solve the problem by killing the bad guy, solve the problem that has victims whose faces you can see.)

There's actually a plot a bit like this going on in Fred Van Lente's Ivar, Timewalker series from Valiant right now. The title character goes back to WWII to prove a point about time travel to his sidekick and at one point, the sidekick finds an entire roomful of people who are time-traveling assassins.

Of course killing Hitler's the obvious response. It's like the bungee-jumping of the the time-travel bucket list. You've got to try it at least once.

I just realized the idea of fundamentally changing the world to the point of it being completely alien to our eyes but possibly better overall actually fits with what we know about Patrick's actions and the guiding ideas behind them pretty well actually.

I tried to follow his line of reasoning to put a single face to Western exploitation of other continents for the express purpose of chattel slavery, and my offhand answer was "kill Christopher Columbus", so I guess he's got a point.

I mean if I were to get a time machine and determined to change the timeline to better humanity I'd admit I don't know anywhere near enough and employ a large team of historians.
