We had that conversation a few pages backI'm morbidly curious what the hell happens when taylornaut and the siberian collide.
Cytorak does empower mages, see the Crimson Bands...There are some amazingly thin-looking atheletes... Also, take a look at some Bruce Lee stuff...
From an animal PoV, humans are ridiculous, with spindly limbs and poorly-attached upper ones at that. Upside? Leverage. And, flexibility. Past a certain point, strength is nice, but that extra, fine, control, that's what makes all the difference.
Now, if Taylor and QA can sell the idea of Mental Strength to a certain being... Particularly if it leads to the Physical Strength looking more impressive...
Isn't she that already? Well a magical girl muscle wizard.Cytorak does empower mages, see the Crimson Bands...
Also cur my previous joke that Taylor ends up a very literal Muscle Wizard.
It's all about proper care and feeding. Remember, Taylor has access to the LBD's creator, and, we can be preettty sure she'll provide after-sales service.
It's another Amalgam... Journey into Muscle Mystery. (God help me if I have to explain Flex Mentallo...)Also cur my previous joke that Taylor ends up a very literal Muscle Wizard.
[hjk] If they're being empowered by Cytorak, wouldn't that be a Muscle Warlock?Cytorak does empower mages, see the Crimson Bands...

The Little Black Dress Of Doom II...
Previously on LBDoD...
"My Power has led me to you, Amy. I need a dress to go to the ball! OK, actually, it's the Prom. But, the principle is the same!"
"I'm not your Fairy Godmother, Mysterious Parahuman! I don't do a line of dresses, glass slippers, pumpkin-carriages, and rodent-servants! However..."
"Yes?"
"My sister's boyfriend, he gets these expensive superhero reprints, from Earth Alph. Left one lying around. 'Secret Wars', I think it was. One of the characters, had a... Hmm. I've been playing around with enhanced slime mounds, though don't tell anyone else that. Black, because they feed on all light, and any spare non-living organics..."
"I can keep secrets. Particularly those of such a wise, and beautiful, Fairy Godmother. Can you help me? Will I go to the ball?"
*blushing*
"It's gone a bit hot, hasn't it? Ahem. What do you think of a Little Black Dress?"

Now...
Taylor carefully backed-up to the buffet table. She was off to one side, and hopefully no one would look at her. More than usual, anyway.
She'd been getting the odd stare, with dropped jaw, from some students, mostly boys, but a few girls. Only a few of them had walked into things. Or got slapped, ankle-kicked, sighed-at, by their partners.
*nom* *nom* *nom* *nom*
She hoped that was a good, not a bad, sound coming from behind her. She'd been getting a bit desperate, her underclothes had been feeling a bit... fragile.
"Excuse me, miss."
One of the wait-staff. Quick, look innocent!
"Yesss?"
"I don't wish to be rude, but your dress... appears to be eating the bread-sticks."
"It's... a special PRT flying dress! Will fit anyone! It's just... in-flight refueling!"
"Right..."

AN: Secret Wars (1984), particularly #8...
Well...So of course Amy creates totally-not-Venom.
Isn't she that already? Well a magical girl muscle wizard.
Oh god, that's a conversation and a half.It's another Amalgam... Journey into Muscle Mystery. (God help me if I have to explain Flex Mentallo...)
Well, technically she's a Paladin...kinda. Cytorak is a god, and is her patron...so...[hjk] If they're being empowered by Cytorak, wouldn't that be a Muscle Warlock?
"I cast Eldritch Haymaker!" [/hjk]
Damn right she does, and it'll be *extra* amusing, at least to me, if it's Jack Slash that she says it to, prefacing it with "Don't you know who I am?"but either way, i know it, you know it, we all know it, taylornaut needs to say the line.
"Im the Juggarnaught, bitch"
Taylor as paladin, yeah, it checks.So now she's She-Venom. Yeah, that's gonna escalate things.
Well...
Oh god, that's a conversation and a half.
Well, technically she's a Paladin...kinda. Cytorak is a god, and is her patron...so...
Not that hard. Just tell them to watch Doom Patrol. That tell you about all you need to know about Grant Morrison presents, Morrison's menagerie O'weirdness.It's another Amalgam... Journey into Muscle Mystery. (God help me if I have to explain Flex Mentallo...)
Do you think, Taylor should have flashing lights, and a robotic voice saying, 'Warning, Parahuman reversing, Warning...', on her cape costume. For when she moves backwards?
Don't be absurd.Do you think, Taylor should have flashing lights, and a robotic voice saying, 'Warning, Parahuman reversing, Warning...', on her cape costume. For when she moves backwards?
Just saying...
Don't be absurd.
It should say, "She's the Juggernaut, bitch!"
Might suit a meme, but, somehow I don't think the Health+Safety people (or the Youth Guard) would approve the wording...Don't be absurd.
It should say, "She's the Juggernaut, bitch!"
'We Brake For Nobody' - probably not on the 'approved' list...
Better make sure Taylor doesn't think you're making jokes about her weight if you make that suggestion to her; that might end poorly.Do you think, Taylor should have flashing lights, and a robotic voice saying, 'Warning, Parahuman reversing, Warning...', on her cape costume.

"Look, Taylor. It's all about you not having to hose-down your costume, to get what's left of people who don't look where you're going, off it. Do you really enjoy having to do that?"Better make sure Taylor doesn't think you're making jokes about her weight if you make that suggestion to her; that might end poorly.
"Yeah, it works fine. I jump across town, make sure my mindset is 'I WILL avoid all the crap falling off me', then turn off my costume mid jump, wait a couple seconds, and turn it back on to land. No more mess, and it ensures nobody sees me change to cleanup.""Look, Taylor. It's all about you not having to hose-down your costume, to get what's left of people who don't look where you're going, off it. Do you really enjoy having to do that?"
"Oh? Your force field means you don't have to do that? Useful!"
"The nasty crunching, squishing, sounds? Does it stop those as well???"
Actually, I believe the movie was copying this video, a dubbed collection of Juggernaut clips from the old 90s X-Men cartoon.Personally, I don't consider "I'm the Juggernaut, bitch" to be an iconic line. In large part because I believe it originates from the 3rd X-Men movie, and that was not Juggernaut. It was a mutant who took the name, but it was not The Juggernaut. No mutant "cure" serum would ever depower the Juggernaut, because he's not a mutant. He's mystically empowered. Just like mutant power suppression doesn't affect the Wrecking Crew because they too are not mutants, the results of an experiment, or any other innate source of power. They are mystically bestowed.
