He'll do that when he needs to fight beyond his limits.

For whatever reason this made me think of Spender being on the losing side of a fight, even after using Spirit Fusion, and then trying to do a Double-Spirit Fusion with the darkness spirit and Lucifer at the same time. And then it just turns out he has power over just kinda dim light, like light from a really overcast day, because combined his two spirits' powers just cancel out into something really lame.

We all dream and hope, but salvation will never truly come.

Edit: I also cannot believe I just only just realized that Max and Isabel are referencing one of the best pages of paranatural.

Both Garcia and Baxter seem the type to dust off the TV with minimal provocation tbh

My form teacher in highschool was an ex cheerleader, so rather than shrek or whatever we always got Bring It On :suicide:

Not sure why Spender thinks Hijack can't teach a class. I mean that's a pretty big assumption to make.

But eh, pushing the narrative forward is a good thing.

Could you teach a middle school class? Right now, I mean. You have thirty minutes to prepare and you can't ask anyone for help or you'll be thrown in prison. If you can't do it so well that you are indistinguishable for the person who does it for a living, you will also be thrown in prison.

Fair point. I believe I could, but giving it more thought, it probably wouldn't mesh well with the previous days class and it would be disjointed and obvious.

This makes a disturbing amount of sense. It has to be Spender or Starchman, since the tell for Hijack was the eyes before.

Hijack's special effects give me a vague impression that he can only ride people suffering emotional turmoil. So, Spender probably.

my favorite little detail in this comic is the idea that hijack realizes that he doesnt know what starchman teaches, so he defaults to simple math instead of english

That makes a lot of sense. Poor Isaac, he probably won't take that reveal well.

I still think it could be the principal though, if only by virtue of the fact that no one's considering her in-comic.
