I like this bit here in particular. Most people don't include little bits that show Jack's Thinker power actively sabotaging their decision making. Even if he would have normally given over Thunderstriker, saying it was subconscious was a nice, subtle touch.
Because I couldn't remember whether pre-approved kill orders were canon or fanon. Cite?
which suggests the Kill Order is for the Slaughterhouse Nine in general rather then specific members, and thus would apply to anyone who joined.
It would make sense if kill orders came through on learning that capes were members, and sure, if you kill their fresh recruit, the paperwork justifying that kill order will probably come through before any court proceedings dick you over, but in this particular case, it would be good to know that this new guy already had his OWN kill order.
Bonesaw. On the one hand, you fighting her/Murder Rat I am really looking forward to.
'on'.
Don't remember him/her.
Now her, I know. Mouse's either dead or about to become a Rat.
Nice. Taking advantage of an opponents weakness and going no-nonsense for the kill.
Ok, so you're setting up a rivalry with Bonesaw and Mannequin.
'Salvageable', AKA meat for Bonesaw to play with.
'You're living on borrowed time.' 'Fuck you.' Oh yeah, that's a rivalry.
Fixed.
She's an OC, like Thunderstriker.
The save point throne is a revival machine, not a cloning machine. Fossil needs the original hardware to load the copied software into. Otherwise that might lead people to think that he can be replaced with a clone that has all his memories, and his aversion to Star Trek teleporters like Oni Lee should make his position there clear.
That's... going to be a significant problem. And turns the backup into a de-facto memory wipe for Mouse.
Still better then being some
Huh. What happens if he loads the Mouse into Murder Rat's body?
What? What is there, aside from them? Incomplete.
"began to carry"
If I had to guess, given Bonesaw's previous subjects, Pain Without End, with a side order of insanity.* Hence why I said getting the 'hardware' back would be supremely difficult: Fossil not only has to subdue the teleporting Murder Rat and disable whatever remote-kill switches Bonesaw stuck in it, but separate Mouse Protector's body from Ravager's and heal it. I'd almost think it would be easier to go the clone route. Unless Panacea's helping, that would simplify a few things...
Headaches. Lots of headaches.
Fixed.
Nothing says he can't have new bodies.
Ugh. THAT WoG. The one that is contradicted by what we see in canon. Theo figured out that he has a thinker power AND that it doesn't work on normal while fighting him.
I like it because that's sort of what Mannequin does; he changes, and authors usually forget that. He's the Batman of the Nine.
... that makes a disturbing amount of sense.
Because the power wasn't perfect.
lol @ picturing Mannequin holding up a "I'M BATMAN" sign
So it magically shields him for 20 years in a manner that ignores how other powers are established to work, then conveniently craps out in a manner inconsistent with how powers are established to work at such a time that it provides a false victory to yank the reader's chain. And there's no foreshadowing or hints of this*. That looks like plot shields with a shitty retconned excuse to me.
