"I have you now, Dr. Octopus!" yelled Spidey. "I see you have made amends with Lady Venom, and the villain responsible. I ask the court to find you guilty at your trial and to ensure that you are condemned."

"What have I done wrong?" asked the judge over his loudspeaker.

"You have been apprehended!"

The judge, dressed in purple robes and a blue robe, stood, and as soon as the two combatants stood in front of the other the Judge spoke and declared the two combatants guilty and that the two had agreed that their crimes be punished.

"May I ask how many times is the sentence one year?" demanded the Judge.

"Well, that is the only proper amount - five years' imprisonment," said the villain. "Your sentence is: You shall be executed. After all, you were one of the greatest villains in the history of the universe and thus no one could question the decision! I am pleased that the court is satisfied!" said the Judge, smiling widely.

"Do not be pleased with me, Doctor Octopus," said the judge. It was not necessary to tell the villain that while Spidey had been captured the evil genius was no more and, by law, he could not be tried. I did not dare to protest against the verdict.

On reaching court, I noticed that my client's lawyer had not been present, or that I had taken the opportunity of reading an early copy of the court document. I checked the envelope for my lawyer.

"Thank you, Doctor Octopus," it read. "May I request an attendance fee for today in the courtroom? I'll come down to sign the petition, please?"

This was the opening line of the final argument, that I have heard many times before. In fact, the word the defendants used to convince the judge that these defendants could avoid all the costs, attorneys' fees and court costs was not at all convincing. After several seconds that I was certain would take long, I said that would be fine with me, just that I would like to hear their arguments, their reasoning, their arguments on the same page, with the same arguments and only with the same arguments I had just heard.

It's easy to talk about how wonderful to hear a good argument in court, about how persuasive the judge is, but the judge was wrong, too.

Yes, because I constantly bring it up.

Also, it was an eighty year old Ben Franklin. Hundred dollar man has game.

Didn’t Franklin have a thing for older woman, getting a centuries old woman must have been a highlight of the old dogs life.

Quick, someone get Jonah the Hunter approved! Have him smoke critter-themed cigars to temporarily gain animal powers!

I actually like the idea of a superhero with a utility belt of disposable items that temporarily grants him specific powers.

Isn't that just a technological version of Nico Minoru

chitoryu12 posted:

I'm picturing him doing something like climbing a building, but because his powers only last for a short time he has to use up like 3 or 4 different powers for flight, climbing, super strength (so he can jump really high), etc. by the time he gets up there and of course he loving needs poo poo like that when he's arrived.

I think the big problem here is how to efficiently communicate this kind of complexity, especially in the modern environment where thought-bubbles are depreciated. How are you going to clearly show that Gimmick Lad used up FOUR out of his seven gimmick items - just to get up to the top of this building - PHEW!

chitoryu12 posted:

Not necessarily technological. I'm thinking a set of magical items that are used up every time they use one and each grants a specific power, like flight or eye beams. They can use as many combinations as they can deploy at once, but the powers only last for a few seconds before disappearing so they need to make creative tactical use of each and can't get more until they make more after the fight.
