I guess I'll be honest, when I first saw Miles, I didn't notice anything off about him either. I thought Alison was storming off to respond to that one text. I mean, his face kind of looks less like a rapist's, and more like the author got lazy with his anatomy. It's kind of like it's just... melting off to the side there. If you cover up the face, they pretty much look like a normal drunk couple.

Same - thought she was brushing that guy off to answer a text, and had to flip back to make sure I hadn't missed a page.

I just realized the reason she doesn't drink is probably because Drunk Alison would be a massive public safety hazard.

More like she cant get drunk (but you probably realize this?)

I would assume because IVS is local to the area, so they can more readily make their judgement calls.

I also have a theory on how IVS's ability works. IVS has a form of specialized telepathy. This allows her to mentally convince people around her that she is not there and is likely the reason why her voice also looks distorted because you don't see the source of the noise. It could also explain why Brad, a biodynamic with heightened senses, has difficulty detecting her since she can trick his "radar" into thinking she is not there at all.

However, since she is still physically present in the world people under the influence of her suggestion perceive a warp in space at the location she is at. Being a form of mental suggestion this is probably why IVS is still able to carry weapons with her since she just convinces you that they aren't there.

I don't think he fought in the same capacity as Alison though with some of the heavy hitting villains. In the first chapter we see him handling a non-robotic henchmen. I don't doubt that he was useful in a giant robot fight, just probably not for his ability to lift them with his bare hands.

Wow the art has certainly improved :eyepop:

Speaking of tiers, have we even seen any true tier ones besides Alison and Patrick?

Maybe Cleaver or Feral? They seem more tier two.

# ¿ Jul 22, 2014 13:30

Jackard: Oct 28, 2007; We Have A Bow And We Wish To Use It

I would consider Patrick's telepathy to be a tier one combat ability.

We haven't really seen any "supervillains" besides him and maybe Daniel

Hell, people weren't even sure if the guy going by "Sonar" had any kind of offensive powers. We just have speculation on what exactly Moonshadow's powers are and if she can turn invisible, why was she constantly getting targeted and needing cover from the other group members?

Their powers have apparently intensified over the years. Maybe she started out stealthy, or maybe Predator-type cloaking, and only later became capable of this level of invisibility.

Moonshadow may have set this up to murder these guys or get some info out of them - the leader mentions working for Templar.

Look again. They specifically mention NOT working for Templar because psychics freak them out.

Cat Mattress posted:

The guy does mention having worked for Templar before, but always refused jobs involving psychics. "I wouldn't even take those contracts with Templar, let alone this freelance poo poo" -- in other words, he sees working for Templar as better than freelance gigs, but even for Templar he wouldn't do psychic stuff. The "I wouldn't even do x, let alone y" always has y as a worse case of x, because you're rejecting doing y specifically by saying that you wouldn't even do the lesser evil that is x.

Hmm you're right. I assumed the mercs knew Templar was run by a psychic, but maybe only the readers and a handful of characters are aware of that?

I still doubt they are there for training. Moonshadow doesn't need it.
