Chapter 5 - Page 11
DAJB on Feb. 13, 2008
Now, if you're paying attention at the back … Panels 5 - 8 on this page of pseudo-science is our not-so-subtle way of telling you what Doug's “powers” are and how he got them. Yes, real powers - at last! The “Brain Storm” whose theories are being recounted here, was a character who never made it into the final comic. There's a little more info on him (and some other rejected characters) here.
Note: If you need to remind yourself how Doug came to be in this position, it's not too late to re-cap on Part 1 of Doug's story!
Reminder: And, if you haven't checked it out recently, don't forget to look in on DajbDevil, one of my many childhood misdemeanours now cluttering up the BVC Scrap Book!

Doug's cool as hell. He willed himself not to die. Great page, love everything about it. Lots of flashbacks are dull and stupid, but this one is awesome. More!

D0m: Quick - read it before the archives get any bigger! Harry: Thanks! Symon/DocShadow: And consistent, too (or as consistent as a theory in a super hero comic can be!) This page should also explain the two mysteries about German [i]Leviathan[/i] bomber, left unanswered from [url=http://www.drunkduck.com/Shades/index.php?p=256915]Chapter 2[/url]: "We're hitting that thing [...] but it's not having any effect"; and "Something that size [...] shouldn't be able to get off the ground". (See - and I bet you thought we were making it up as we went along!)

Shades is on the top of my list of must-reads when I get the time.

Great theory and awesome panel buddy :)

Wow, that sounds like an interesting theory! Simple, yet possible! Great idea, and loving the layout.

Tantz: Yup - it's been a long time coming, but [i]finally[/i] we have our "radioactive spider/toxic waste" moment! Milky: Yeah. That "experimental fuel" gets everywhere! Peipei: Well, he looked alive when he was telling the first part of this story, back in [url=http://www.drunkduck.com/Shades/index.php?p=256915]Chapter 2[/url]! ;-) seventy2: I know. I am so [i]mean[/i] to my characters!

And finally, we got some super-hero chemistry, exactly the way the recipe should go. Heh heh heh! Very nice. And Milky's right, the clothes got powers too in the blast! XD XD
Milky at 12:14AM, Feb. 14, 2008
His clothing is fine, too.
