Still going to listen to it in a couple of hours, but I'm already loving the Mignola homage.

I do enjoy these blow-by-blow "comic narration" episodes. :)

Some pretty epic stuff in this, like what Nightmist did to Zhu Long. I mean, prudent, but also hilariously mean. XD

Also never realized how close to the end of the Multiverse it was when Dark Watch got together.

I never thought it was the early teens, like that one letter did. But I also figured it was earlier than '99.

 

Although if I lived in that world, that's about the year I started reading comics seriously. So Dark Watch easily could have been a starting point for me.

Not a bad episode.


His name is Sephiroth but his friends call him Sephie.

Christopher mentioned at one point that Setback's powers were literally stolen from Legacy.  Was that a reveal?  I don't recall hearing that before.  I think it was in the issue 5 or 6 blow-by-blow.

The serum that gave him his other powers were described as making Setback half as strong/fast/tough/whatever as Legacy.  So it’s not new information.  His logo is outfit is also derivate of the Legacy outfit.

Yeah, I know that his powers were similar to Legacy's, but Christopher made it sounds like the serum that empowered him was actually derived from Legacy somehow.  I don't believe that was ever stated before.

It’s based off of Baron Blade’s serum he used to weaken Legacy that he tried to reverse engineer to give powers instead for Setback and himself.  Hard to say what was used to generate it originally.  Bottom line I don’t think it’s a shocking reveal or new by any means but you can always send in a letter for clarification.

I thought it was a throwaway accidental miswording. They also referred to either issue 4 or issue 5 as issue 3 at some point.

BB was trying to unlock the genetic code of Legacy so he could recreate it and use it on himself. While mostly a failure, seeing the success in Setback lead him to experiment on himself and become Jacked BB for Vengeance.

Legacy did not consent to this and had no knowledge of what was going on, So these power where effectively stolen from him by Baron Blade.

 

 

So I love the "Ninja Avalanche" line. NightMist is a Magical Hermit. And NightMist loses control of her powers. Yup liked the show, I am happy to hear more on NightMist, they even gave a good timeline to add my self-insert Character.

We also have a better ida when Setback and Expat's promo incaps come from.
