On one hand, it makes sense for an infiltration android. On the other hand, he has blatantly inhuman eyes, so I question his effectiveness as an infiltrator anyway. I suppose the eyes could be explained as a mutant trait, though.
'X-Fifty' x2, based on previous chapters.
Neither DC nor Marvel are settings where age equals power.
Hey, don't mess up the decor! ... Well, at least the spiked punch is handled. I assume it would have spilled, unless she was being duly careful. And in her state, I don't think that's likely...
And that's an original capability of the X-series. Not sure what use that would be in a robot soldier... Traversal aid, maybe?
...More anti-super-being thing, really. The inevitable response from the 'We don't like these uppity long-underwear fellows and their ideas about Truth, Justice and Freedom' types of shady government goons.
I'd mention that Cyclops does have visor controls in his costume gloves, but I doubt he's wearing any right now.
Not exactly the best way to shut her down, but definitely one of the quickest. As long as it's a brief contact, it should be safe.
And probably hints of the memories driving those emotions too.
Yup, there's the memories. Wonder if these made an appearance?
Later X-Series robots, maybe. If he was successful, why stop there, even if his creator had died?
Because the base of the extension mechanic is closer to the elbow and knee than the wrist and ankle, respectively. Plus any damage from being thrown into the wall.
I mean, it's an odd feature for a combat android, but...
Hopefully the embarrassment doesn't show on her face.
Very good hearing. And yes, he is full of useful devices.
That's putting it mildly.
Heck, in the comics, her 'Days of future past' history was caused by Sentinels. It's understandable she's not entirely rational when they're invoked.
...Probably not the best way to put that, Aaron.
Still betting he angles towards augmented humans, resulting in Prime Sentinels.
Admittedly, Marvel timelines tend to be branches rather than mere forks. So proof of one future doesn't necessarily eliminate others.
Especially if that aerial drone can attach to the humanoid when not in active use.
Fortunately, Aaron is stronger than the average teenager.
I imagine her ability to use it is more like Force Push right now than 'molecular-scale rearrangement'.
And not immediately going on the counter-attack beyond some knockout darts was a good plan.
Kinda like mutant-haters being irrational about it.
He may not be programmed for it, but I could imagine him chuckling as he said that.
Heh. The 'yo momma' joke fell flat because he lacks a sense of humour.
Hey, be glad you only copied the opening face. imagine copying the extendo-limbs, but not being able to control them.
The must be a strange sensation, especially for a human...
Still surprised he copied it, but he is a generalised power-copier, not just 'I have the powers of any mutant near me.' So he could theoretically copy something like the Super Soldier Serum's effects if he hung out near Steve Rogers.
No canoodling mind. I'm sure Kitty's giggling to herself right now.
One gorilla city mission is confirmed to have happened. Paragon-Paul was noted to have been particularly brutal with the takedowns there, in the aftermath. Dislocations that most people would find disturbing.
Thank you, corrected.
Don't worry, Aaron is already full of very useful devices, Paul doesn't need to help out here.
Oh. It turns out that it's not hyphenated, but it is Anna rather than Anne.
That sounds far less pleasant than Anne-Marie.
True, but we didn't name her.
Those should all say 'Anna Marie'.
'were'
I like the thanagarian body language. This one in particular is cute. Generally quite a cute chapter, nice to see Oh El so concerned for a friend.
Ah, getting professional support from the other thanagarians on the planet, who probably have slightly more medical training than Bleez does. Almost certainly better medical sensor tech, too. Though I imagine Shayera is giving a particularly hawkish scowl right now.
Believe me, Bleez, you'll see when OL is freaked out, and it's a lot more... Panicked than this.
At the least, haul you over to Doctor Mist for immediate thaumaturgical examinations.
...That's just a little bit more extreme. Not that I don't doubt he's overstating a little to scare her.
And things naturally get weird when major thaumatic entities get involved, so that's not guarantee of anything.
I would hope the Nth Metal in their bodies gives them a measure of resilience in that respect. It does weird things around magic, after all.
It technically is, but the mystical aspect makes it a risk for sympathetic magic access.
At least among the military, I expect there's a rule of 'do not impair combat readiness'.
Since his 'soul' has peculiar reactions to exotic energies, magic included. I'm sure his drunkenness-equivalent state is a lot less common an occurrence, but we've seen what happens if he gets overloaded with this or that.
And just because your species look alike, obvious physical variances aside, that doesn't mean they react the same way to certain chemicals.
Nothing happened yet. That doesn't mean nothing ever will.
Good advice in general. Though the hard part can be finding who to ask.
Because Chocolate. Ha-ha.
Won't lie, I'd ask the same. Much prefer flavoured to plain choc.
Still not the strangest reaction to humans or human foods, mind. There's one adult-content OC species I know of who get horny-drunk off human scent, resulting in embarrassing sexual situations...
They have medications to prevent it, but you don't see those using them because that's no fun.Hopefully it does cross Doctor Mist's desk soon. Getting his professional support on this would help.
For example: Superman. Who has less defences against the mystical than most humans do. Not none at all, but definitely more vulnerable.
Placing his bet, I see.
And he won. I wonder if Thanagarian magic would work the same way on them as Earth magic does on Humans, or if there are quirkier effects?
And hopefully whatever spells were involved in it have worn off. Otherwise Bleez might have to worry about someone using sympathetic magic on her.
Oh, the slow, reluctant interjection. That's never a good sign.
Well, he should, but he's not really going to incriminate her. Better to let her come out and say it herself.
Let's hope the samples' arcane structures don't survive the trip.
...Good point, I;d practically forgotten he was interested in alien metallurgy. Nth metal especially.
I'm guessing specialised and specifically-crafted implantations of Nth metal. Likely tiny pieces that were fragments of a Seven Devils avatar...
"kept feeling"
Thank you, corrected.
Another victory through conventional logic (which was probably a part of Batman's investigative training (not the cadaver one)). Don't lead your subject towards a particular conclusion, don't taint their info. Oh, I guess this would have come up when the Unman organs were in the prototyping.
Why is he shocked that she spoke to him?
She's still mad about the Nabu situation I think.
