Grrl Power #980 - Destination beatdown

Dave Barrack

It's not one of those low tech Stargates. :)

Martin Nielsen

Hmmm causeway inside earth atmosphere to vacuum of space, potential side effects?

Woodrobin

If the Hiroshima-like blasts from the alien kaiju creatures only stressed the shields (red segments, cool-down/alarm sounds), then unless Kevin's fists reach city-leveling impact forces, she ought to be fairly safe.

Churchill (formerly TeaBear)

I have no doubts that Sydney's shield is up to the task of taking Kevin's best shot (ATM)

Jared Juetten

Just a wacky good time for her. "I may not be super durable or super fast or super hot - although I AM the hottest A-cup around apparently. However, there is the possibility that perhaps I'm super smart."

Jared Juetten

Saaaaame. LMAO

D.A. Lamont

Why didn't I see that coming?! 🤣🤣🤣

Belgrath

Nice trick..

Mark Temple

he probably would have just assumed it was a fluke based on not knowing what she could do.

Bryce Maryott

Did... did he not realize that SHE is the one that beat him last time?

Eric Loken

Not expected, but brilliant. Fast, and extremely effective. "I don't need to fight you dumb ass, I can just leave you here. Eventually you'll just suffocate." Also: Love Syd's smile in the last panel.

MaxBigfoot

Well, of all I was expecting, I certainly wasn't expecting that.

Kj

Spaaaaccccccceeeeeeeeee

James Domec

Afterimage of an arm impotently flailing at superhuman speeds.

Dr. Otter

In the last panel, why does Kevin have two left arms, one solid and one ephemeral?

Super saiyan tai chi. :)

Tim

Also, quick question: what is that little frame in the bottom-right corner of panel #7? It looks like a mirror panel reflecting the stars, but why would it be there? Is it a reference pic that somehow got left in?

Tim

Heh, that's something you NEED to understand about fighting a gatemaker who's good at their job. If something is in motion, it goes where *they* want it to go.

BJ

BWAHAHAHAHA! That's brilliant! I love it!

eddi_TBH

Kevin has a breathtaking view of a strange new world. I think he's had enough fun for one day.

DH

I like the effect you’ve done with the wormhole. Reminds of a poor vhs recording.

Ian Brown

I kinda hoped that we might see the Hentorb wrap him up and get a great shot of a surprised face as the tip slip-a-dee-doo-dah'd it's way to parts unknown!

Bryce Maryott

I was going to bet that she would threaten him with the Hentia orb!

William Elliott

not only that, but he has no flight power that we have seen, no ground to push off from, etc. He is TOTALLY helpless and at her mercy.

Richard Riley

We sure hope so - we'll find out when she returns, I suppose. It's going to be super awkward if she just caused the equivalent of a Fuel-Air Bomb, or created a hurricane over the region, or cracked a mile of bedrock...

Ascender

Dabbler DID have that little brag to Heavenly Sword about where she got the metal for Reaper. Kevin may just have really good hearing and a broad taste for the fantasy genre. After all, Dabbler never did confirm anything about the roll of gibberish he spouted off about chutzpah...

Jordan Brennan

Hahahahah, this is sort of what I thought would happen, I was trying to figure out how she was going to use 3 orbs (lighthook, flight, and shield) to get him through the causeway. I guess it’s ok to open it on Earth then?

Evgeny Sandu

Back when she levelled up after killing 3 big bad guys in a row. This is how she got to the Fracture station in the first place.

gili

When did she get the ability for the causeway again?

MrHHH

Just thought about how cool it would be if Sydney was attacked by others right now. Resulting in a Sydney-Vehemence team up!

akrasia

It's kind of a tangent, but I've wondered if Kevin is a Terran human or not. If not, he might know exactly where he is. I consider it strong evidence for not, that he knew Dabbler was a succubus and details about her power. I highly doubt more than a handful of people on Earth knew the latter, and Kevin wouldn't blend into that crowd. He ain't from around here...

akrasia

How long do you figure he had his head held underwater with a crushed throat in the first fight? As Syd pointed out then, he can burn power to compensate for not being able to breathe. He's most certainly surprised, but I guess we find out how much vacuum actually inconveniences him.

Huh, I did not even think about this option. Had totally forgotten her Aetherium causeway travel ability. Yeah, this will definitely get him to power down. He can probably hold out for a while, using power to keep himself alive, but I have no doubt after he struggles a bit that he will concede.

Jonathan Hamilton

Omg I am cackling in my car before work. People in the parking lot must think I'm crazy. Thanks for helping me start the day off in a good mood!

Andrew

I bet traffic control are like "Learn to nav somewhere else to leave your junk there!"

TheLazyShadow

Same trick as before but we’ve upgraded from water to the vacuum of space. :D

Otoger

the nav was updated as she was shortly back on the station to get Some of the super hot grub for Neil deGrasse Tyson

Evgeny Sandu

Hah! I was right! Well, almost. I didn't think she would use the causeway, because I wasn't sure that she could get anyone else through it.

Graeme Thorburn

Does she know how to travel back to Earth from there yet?

Richard Penner

I hope they remember to charge him the $3 fee for returning to the U.S.

Justaguy

Faster than just lighthooking his feet and holding him up in the air till he gets bored.

Michael Obert

In space, no one can hear you d'oh.

Damaged

Well, that's rude to do to someone who isn't Batman. Not everyone can breathe in space. Thankfully, it would probably take him a good 20-30 seconds before hypoxia starts to set in. He has time to tap out. 🤣

Jamie Stone

I doubt that Kevin could even get close to the amount of energy that could damage the shield, but this outcome is funnier anyway.

Whoriar

🤣🤣🤣 Rope-a-dope lvl8?
