I like the poster with Cthulhu rising from the deep with an orange spot on his shoulder and a caption that’s approximately “Still think controlling all the creatures of the sea is a weak power?”
You should read worm by Wildbow. The hero is a girl who can control bugs and she turns out to be one of the most powerful beings on the planet because she is clever in how she uses it.
So this frame begs a lot of questions. Is the Mantiloid Empire XTs? Parallel universe? Hidden civilization?
And that might be the perfect upgrade for the Flea.
The suit probably told him. He said the suit is basically like a bee colony, and alive, so he just spoke to it. And it talked back. Him vocalizing ‘pillbug mode’ in english is probably just dramatic affectation, he likely made the command via his antenna, same way he spoke to the suit to begin with.
According to the PS238 roleplaying game, the Flea is the son of two insect-themed superheroes, the Mantis and Tarentella, and inherited his powers from them.
Also some of the information is flat out wrong. The comic told us the real names of Eagle and Patriot when they were introduced, for example, but the game has it wrong.
This is arguably the best comic being published today, easily in the top 5. We only get 1 page every 2 months. Can we do a campaign to pay Aaron so we can get a 3 page a week update schedule? I’ll happily take black and white pages if it speeds up the process.
I wonder if it dribbles.
“One two three O’Malley
Four five six O’Malley
Seven eight nine O’Malley
Nothing you can do!”
And people make fun of Aquaman for being able to communicate with fish…
Not just fish… all that lives upon the sea.
Bob has really started to regret selling his house to live on a boat…

I could see an alternate version using Godzilla.
Oh no….Aquaman can summon Spongebob Squarepants!
That’s too much power for any one man to possess.
Only stupid people

Haven’t read Worm (yet), but not surprised that someone who controls bugs is considered powerful. Half the biomass on the planet is bugs…

And this strip right here is why The Flea is one of the best characters in his or any other metahuman story.
…But how did he know that it HAD a pillbug mode?

Heck, could be like the manacles implied earlier, slipped some information to the enemy so as to be free of the nitwit controlling them.
«Oh. Well, it does now.»
God, I love the Flea. I wish we had more of a background on him. Is he from a family of insect-based supers? Is he the first of his kind?
Inquiring minds want to know.

PS238 comes in RPG format?
I’m getting one!
It’s a bit old by this point, probably not in print any longer. Though DrivethruRPG has it in PDF form. It uses the HERO system.
Also some of the information is flat out wrong. The comic told us the real names of Eagle and Patriot when they were introduced, for example, but the game has it wrong.
And so, a shopkeeper was undone by his own habit of advertising.
Fittingly.
And that’s how THE FLEA gets it done!
Flea remains awesome. And this is why you keep your mouth shut about your abilities.

He has a Patreon. And we get an update at the start of every month.
And this is why any communicate with ability should not be underestimated.
You never know what will fall under their command.
Someone with a “Talk with plants” ability can be a campaign killer, if they’re clever enough.
Literally Poison Ivy’s power is “Talk With Plants”.
“The hibiscus on your desk thinks you’re trying to kill it. Stop watering it so much.”
Only read it once, probably got it wrong, but that was the gist.
lol, nice.
