*Sigh* I meant CROSSOVERKILL, not its sequel, CROSSOVERLORD. ---Al

Fans of Fusion will want to check out CROSSOVERLORD at [url]http://www.drunkduck.com/Crossoverkill/[/url]...especially since Fusion's one of the main characters.

I missed this update but I know why -- was really busy that week. Yeah, she got lucky with the flushed toilet, that being a mall washroom and all. As to secret identities... honestly, you'd be surprised at how much people miss. The only ones who'd pick up on it would be people in the business, like police, detectives, and of course Bat... Brooder. The most people would do is suspect -- and that doesn't go very far. Besides, take into account that Fusion's eyes bloody well GLOW. Brightly. Like flashlights. That alone will suffice as a disguise.

@jamoecw but yea, i will admit that most comic book hero's disguises wouldn't work in real life. i do think MM's is better than most.

@ jamoecw bone structure. . . and how many people in the world can identify some one by bone structure? not to mention they would have to know both Lorelle and Sophie to be able to identify them. yes there has been one person able to do so, but the police wouldn't have believed him if he had told, and there is no way he would have told. yes they could find her identity by her teeth, but not by just looking at them, or from a picture they would need to at-least need to get bite marks from her or a very close look at her dental work to compare to her dental records.

One has to take into account that there have been a couple shots fired. There's going to be a lot of panicked screaming and running around, (and the women will be reacting too :) ). It's very easy to account for not being around in such an event by just saying you were hiding, like any sensible person would... Oh, I missed seeing the super hero arrive? Darn! In the case of MM, I think that something else besides hair and eyes change. She has a much more confident posture when in hyperintelligent mode. She also smiles a lot less than Lorelei does. Those make a major difference in a way a person appears.

Regarding the secret identity angle . . . As planned, this will be discussed at some point during the next story arc (starting next issue). Suffice it to say, Brooder, Captain Stupendous, and Riveter all have some aspects of their costumes that serve as a bit of misdirection.
jamoecw at 10:48AM, Sept. 23, 2010
it is actually 1/4+1/4=1/2 inch instead of 1/2+1/2=1 inch. i understand your point, but if she didn't mess around with their computers and surveillance, they would know it was lorelei, bone structure doesn't lie, even when wearing a half inch suit (all they need is the to see are the teeth). the point was that heroes in the comic book sense can only be fantasy, as secret identities are pretty laughable unless you are so powerful as to be able to take control of every major power on earth to keep it (which would be selfish and not very heroic and which mm says she isn't a hero). dwean even brought up the process of elimination (one person goes into the bathroom, out pops one hero). super heroes do really weird things and manage to keep their secret identities, superman strips off his clothes and glasses, either vaporises them or leaves them in a glass phone booth then flies around and no one recognizes him, or realizes the clothes in the booth. if he vaporizes them then how does he change back so fast? if he changes some place else with some new clothes then wouldn't they get ripped off when he moves at super speed to get back (wind sheer)? no matter how realistic a power is, the whole problem of keeping a secret identity will always be a logic flaw, so if you read super hero comics then it is probably something you can suspend belief on.

@jamoecw about mindmistress, thats not true. she changes more than hair and eye color. that suit is half an inch thick, and is over a half inch thick under suit. combined they make her an inch taller, and two inches wider. that would be an impossible to top story. glad she doesn't have to go through it.
jamoecw at 12:23PM, Sept. 22, 2010
well if we are going to figure out how one in real life would figure out a super hero's secret identity we would definitely come across the whole issue of skin tight costumes allowing for really good body profiling. even mind mistress would be up a creek without a paddle since just hair and eye color changes her appearance, and police can compensate for such easily changed things. the phone booth thing is pretty silly, although it was in an era of disguises being simply a matter of removing glasses, i'd bet any 2 year old would be able to point out who it really is (and anyone who has played with 2 year old can confirm this). also as far as the bathroom being empty they could have gone during non peak time in a rather unfrequented movie complex, when i lived in antioch there was a movie complex that if you went when they first opened there was a very good chance that you'd be the only one in the theater. of course it isn't during the day, and there were plenty of people outside, but as essaybee pointed out they are all men, go back and look you'll see, i am not crazy (well there goes that argument).

darth_paul--Bob creates Fusion's suit, and when he fused to her she was wearing those colors; he merely borrowed the color scheme from the clothes she was wearing for her supersuit. (Really it was just because I knew the color scheme worked with her skin tone and think the purple and blues relay her tomboyish-ness, but that first explanation kind of makes sense too.) TomCHuskey and Al--Umm . . . all of the chick flicks in the other theaters don't end for another 15 minutes . . . and Bob is a master of tactical costume-change planning. Yeah. That's what happened here.

I'm with the previous commentor. A women's restroom, just after a movie ends, is crowded! (Mainly from everyone who was holding it to last through the movie.)
TomCHuskey at 8:08PM, Sept. 21, 2010
Wait, a women's restroom? In a public place? Without a queue? It's a trap! :)

I guess changing in a phone booth has gone out of fashion...
dwrean at 12:33PM, Sept. 21, 2010
knowing security cameras and being a known hero, i bet they already DO know that she just went into the bathroom.
Scorpious at 11:22AM, Sept. 21, 2010
well At least she did not have to transform in a latrine,, now that would have been worst ... love the art is has a morning cartoon feel to it
Loud_G at 11:19AM, Sept. 21, 2010
woo! sucks all the dignity out of being a super :D

you need to add [url]link[ /url] (take out the space) to your links or to get fancy and add a text link [url=link]text[ /url] nice job!
seanb47 at 10:04AM, Sept. 21, 2010
@darth_paul.Right?!LOL! and now for a little changing kablam!:"Shazaam!"
darth_paul at 7:29AM, Sept. 21, 2010
I don't think anyone has mentioned it before, but I think that it's kind of funny that her regular civilian clothes are the same colors as her super-suit. Not that that would ruin her secret identity or anything because no one ever really notices that kind of thing in comics.
