Fusion #8 Page 10
EssayBee on Oct. 15, 2013
Here's page 10 of Fusion #8, and things take a more sinister turn. If anyone's wondering why X-Pletive's mask is up over his mouth, it's because he's been trying to resuscitate the guy who got hit. Also, for those who don't remember the significance of the dead man's words, refer to the last 2 pages of Issue #4 and Fusion's showdown with Mass Master in Issue #7 (starting at about page 13).
For those who are just now finding their way back to Fusion, please note that the Duck already posted the 2 pages I had queued before the site went down, so go back to page 8 to see the beginning of the “new” pages.
Due to the extended downtime here at the Duck, I need to udate my backlog. Starting today, I'll start posting three times a week (Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday) until we get caught back up to where the comic should be, so by Nov. 5, Fusion should be back on track here (and then back to Tuesday-only updates.) I've also moved the “home” site of Fusion over to http://fusion.thecomicseries.com/ but will continue to post here as well. Also note the link to my Twitter account (and DeviantArt account) to the left; I post various Fusion updates there, so you'll always know where to find the latest pages if the Duck goes down again.

just found the duck is up on their mirror, have to say saving damsels in distress has its perks for a single guy. i wonder if xpletive would have gone after the two running away, on the one hand keeping people like that off the streets is good, on the other having one means the police can catch the others at their leisure (and hopefully with less violence). with the no hope thing it definitely is a mystery that needs to be solved, as it isn't a straight forward aura that emanates from something, it seems more complicated than that.

zgrssd--I think the "better safe than sorry" explanation applies to him in-costume.

Just a thing: Does X-pletive has to say swearwords in casual conversation? I know it grants him his power, but do you need healingfactor and superstrenght while doing a resusscation or detective work? Of cours it could be that he would crash when he stops swearing, or it needs some warpup time so he is "better save then sorry" with the swears. And of course if he talks too normal somebody might recognise his voice.

Mind Control? Subtle psychic influence? When you have to ask your local batman expy, things can't be good.
