I’m Useful, I Swear!
And today we learn just what it was Venus was doing the whole fight.
I’m going to bust my butt today to try and get the next wallpaper up for Patrons by Tuesday and keep an eye out in the coming weeks for the voting incentive wallpaper.
why is she outside?! She’s pale and a red head? That’s going to cause a serious sunburn X3 too bad she doesn’t have freckles… that would’ve been adorable.
also… manipulate odds? so… she could’ve made it more likely for her friends to land a successful hit on the opponents, less likely to hit bystanders? That sounds incredibly useful XD sounds like fate changing abilities really X3
still love the look of metal… want to just ping a quarter off of it and hear it go ding ^_^
manipulating the odds would be a good power but based on how much gregor had to do to stop crap from hitting the fan, she was pretty useless with those powers.
Oh, but Gregor was there to stop everything BECAUSE she was manipulating the odds. Couldn’t you tell? :p
Every team has a Mati.
Looks like she had a quick wardrobe change at some point. When the fight started, the toga went over her right shoulder, but now it is over her left shoulder.
Or maybe it’s part of her power. What are the odds of her toga magically changing shoulders?
Fuck.
Or you could look at it the other way – the Planetary Goon Squad sucks SO bad that they do as poorly as they did, even with her tilting the odds in their favor. If it wasn’t for her, they would have collapsed outside the bank, Keystone Cops-style, before even getting through the door!
that mental image is just hilarious XD
Just remember, they DID manage to take out every other Goon Squad member.
We never do get to hear what she was doing, just what her lame power is…
I’m not really sure why everyone is down on probability warpers. I mean sure they may not have the most straightforward or obvious powers but that doesn’t make them any less useful. With a probability warper around if someone was trying to snipe someone on a clear day they would probably miss because of an errant breeze. They are basically the living embodiment of Murphy’s Law, Anything that can go wrong Will go wrong. A shooters gun jams, a person hits the jackpot on a slot machine, someone bends over to tit their shoe and avoids a baseball to the head, their powers can cover a whole heck of a lot, even the best laid plans go awry when they are merely in the area.
Except that can cut both ways. Warping probability doesn’t guarantee that things will turn out the way you want, only that they may turn out differently…
Well, yes, they can, they just usually don’t. Probability warping tends to be a more passive ability than a conscious one. It generally helps that it tends to follow a persons ethics and morals rather than just being random.
Two words, Scarlet Witch.
She’s one of the most powerfull heroes in the marvel universe, powerset consists of witchcraft and probability warping. When she were just a kid her powers were so strong that she frightened even her father Erik Lansher also known as Magneto. Off course her probabilty powers evolved after being used by the witch Morgan Le Fay to controll the sword of realities to change reality after Morganas wishes. While being held captive in the alternete reality Scarlet witch used her probabilty powers to awaken the avengers and break the reality putting everything back to normal. After that incident she found that probability were’nt the only thing she could controll now she also can affect the very fabrics of reality itself. So yeah her powers can rival that of Phoenix so i would say prbability is’nt anything to take lightly.
LOL @Gregor. maybe her powers were the reason Gregor just happened to go to the bank! Granted they did take out the other goons, they just suck at collateral damage management
Sometimes good luck gives you the WORST luck.
If Merc was standing a little closer, Venus could have backslapped her 🙂
If she was fast enough! I might have to bring these kids back for another storyline simply because I like Mercury and her dickitude. I think I’d like to write/draw a Quicksilver standalone comic if I ever get in to the big times. And not one where he teams up with a bunch of animal warriors and is nice to everyone (look it up, kids, you’ll be very disappointed) .
That raises a question: does she also have Super Reflexes? Or just Super Speed?
Having Super Speed doesn’t always equal Super Reflexes (just check out the current pages of Grrl Power and the discusions about the now-bound Speedfreak)
Just wondering: is there supposed to be a TWC invotive?
Soon….
Was just asking as it looked like a broken image link, and was wondering it was me (use both IE7, for ‘main’ browser, and Firefox as backup browser)
