502. Superhero 02: Antidote

Sameth on Aug. 29, 2010

These first few comics are more of an introduction to the character rather than what the arc is about. I'm not sure when exactly we start delving into the actual story, but we still have a few comics.

What I was trying to do was make a moral ambiguous superhero due to Ambis' violent nature. Part of the character was inspired by Batman: no superpowers, but could still hold his own in a fight. The whole poisoning thing is also kind of something Batman might do, except not with real poison. Basically, it's making the person think you're going to kill him without actually threatening his life (either by stopping the killing blow a few seconds before it happens or the person isn't actually in any danger) and that's what's basically going on here. The superhero has some antidote, so even if the poison is real, there's still a way out…or there was.

Sorry about the wait on Henchman no. 9. The final page is up and you can view that here. Not sure when Chapter Two is starting, I will let you know.
