HEROES UNITE was the first webcomics superteam that combined characters from different webcomics, preceding CROSSOVERLORD by a few months. (We had actually been planning it for a while, but had decided to wait till the CROSSOVER WARS finished.) It has since been succeeded by HEROES ALLIANCE.
Members pictured here include Energize, DASIEN, HELLFIRE, TAZER, the HU COMMANDER, TITAN, who's origin began with the “Stormfront”, Timesweep, BOMBSHELL, NEMESIS and LEGEND. Even so, this is far from the full membership of HEROES UNITE. Some of the characters had their own webcomics, come were created expressively for HU.
One thing we wanted to do in CROSSOVERKILL is get a “feel” for each universe as we visit it. (Moreso than in CROSSOVERLORD.) Hence Pilli, Paco, and Superpowergirl guest-starring in the Captain Perfect sequence. I wanted Mindmistress to visit the HUniverse, and immediately get into trouble. The HUniverse is a fascinating place…although before it's over, I'm sure MM will say it's a nice place to visit, but she wouldn't want to live there.
Two more updates next week, as Heroes Unite tries to take MM into custody.
Quoting verbatim:
"Any slipups of memory are Schroeder's, not mine, thanks."
Fictional? Of COURSE MM's fictional.
Isn't she?
Not many people gets corrected by their own creations.
I do have my theories about Mindmistress' ironclad memory. I've heard that every time you recall something, you distort your memory of that. And that's why a lot of movies and TV shows that you remember as a kid aren't quite the way you remember them. I often wonder if even Mindmistress might be prone to that.
[quote=theRedDeath]I would never assume Al forgot his own bit of writing.[/quote]Well, heh.... Al DID forget that Mindmistress had seen Dasien's red leotard during the Crossover Wars. The original version of this page had her reacting to the photo as though it was the first time she'd seen it.
MM did seem to forget that Jenny Everywhere mentioned the Doppleganger Gang in [url=

But more likely she does remember and just hasn't explored that avenue of inquiry yet. I would never assume Al forgot his own bit of writing.
Mindmistress is so intelligent she sometimes forgets not everybody can reach the same deductions she can... like Dasien most likely HAVE told the HU about her involvement when she delivered the sphere, but them making the connection to the woman arriveing unsuspected and unannoinced in the middle of their stonghold is another matter.. safety comes first!.
Perhaps if she had knocked on the front door... :p
Actually, it isn't the most recent QUACKCAST - it was the [url=http://podcast.drunkduck.com/podcast/episode-3-we-read-your-comics-and-we-like-them]#3 episode[/url]...
Wow!!! That new QUACKCAST mentions CROSSOVERKILL and it's prequel, CROSSOVERLORD, very flatteringly, says we held together much better than the usual crossover, and especially complimented Neil's imitation of Kittyhawk's art on Yuuki! And we were first mentioned! YES!!! Listen to it, if you didn't.
In a completely unrelated non-canon coincidence, Dasien's right arm and leg can be seen in a picture in the Camaraderie Of Heroes HQ in [url=http://www.drunkduck.com/Bad_Guy_High/index.php?p=476903]BGH#358[/url]
Dasien doesn't exist in the BGH-verse, but way back in the day I did a piece of fanart for Neil, and when doing that page I just needed plain images to fill out the portraits on the wall.
Innnnnteresting. I really must catch up with this comic.
As for the suit issue, I guess it's just a technicality whether you're wearing a skintight suit which leaves NOTHING to the imagination (something most superheroes are guilty of, including MM - well, okay, she hides her face :P) or a suit which actually reveals the skin beneath...
Oh, and Dasien mentioned HEROES UNITE to Mindmistress waayyy back in CROSSOVERLORD on [url=http://www.drunkduck.com/Crossoverlord/index.php?p=422633]this page[/url].
What I love about these comics is that they give you the felling that there is so much to these universe without having to know much anything them before hand!
I would love to see her meet Bombshell. It would be an interesting dynamic--and Mindmistress would have to realize that Dasien actually dresses modestly compared to her.
I also wonder--what would Nemesis be to Mindmistress? Unless he gained some sort of chaos powers, to be unpredictable, I can't think of how he could be her "perfect Nemesis".
Also, I wonder why Energize would still have a picture on the wall, as HU might be trying to put as much distance from him as possible while he is on the lam.

Hey, Al is only mortal. drawing a woman in a metal skinsuit. Give the guy a break if he gets, umm, distracted from time to time...

Mindmistress? Forget? Never. Overestimate some of her friends? Perhaps. Besides, there is a more complex explanation for this.

I was very flattered by Amanda and Ozone's comments. Now go back and read Crossoverlord, ya goofs!

Probably wasn't a good idea to say "I'll kill her" in front of a bunch of superheroes. And Nemesis.

Das never gets a break from Double-M's criticism. If and when Mindmistress ever meets Bombshell, she's in for a real shock.
