Except Ron’s not moving like the Flea. He’s navigating the room in a way only the Flea could but he’s not moving LIKE someone with insect-based powers.
I also sincerely doubt that it’s just a case of him being unused to the Flea’s powers assuming he copied the latter’s abilities.
It’s hard to say. That white line could be motion blur from high-speed motion, but then, it could also just be a visual indicator for us readers as to the order in which he teleported. He could be clinging to the walls, or he could be kicking off of them.
Except that Ron is not clinging to the walls- and if he’s kicking off them, not in the way the Flea or other insectoid/sticky supers would. He wouldn’t be posed in such manners (and consistently) in panel 2 if so.
Rather, his stance (again, consistently) indicates walking and skipping from one plane/angle of wall to another.
Earlier, we saw Ron perfectly detect where the ball was in a supernally difficult multi-card monte type deal. We also saw him execute perfect precision throws. Here, we’re seeing a perfectly-executed series of jumps to get exactly where he needs to be exactly when he needs to.
It might actually be more powerful than Argosian abilities. Though imagine how terrifying it would be combined with them.
I agree! FISS can (and has) been used effectively by some ‘dumb brick’ types, but whatever Ron has appears to be the type that gets much more powerful when accompanied by a thoughtful, clever, careful brain. And Ron has that. His experiences in the last couple of years have pushed him toward it. This will be interesting…
I am thinking that he might be behaving like a quantum particle: He could be anywhere in his zone of probability. This also means that is present everywhere he can interact with his environment, such as catching an inter-dimensional baseball or jumping from place to place but not being in-between (his wave form is not reinforced in those places).
Atomic “particles” have particle-like and wave-like properties. Normally as we get to larger and larger, the wave-like properties tend to cancel out and you just get a great big particle. Ron still gets to show all the quantum properties, not just the particle-like ones.
This strip is labeled “2018-09-18”. The previous one was also “2018”.
Clearly, Ron’s power is leaping through time, thereby allowing multiple-appearances in the Present.
Actually looks more like super-speed and wall-climbing than teleportation. Note white blur in-between his images.
How does it know which indefinite article to use (a or an) if he hasn’t cursed yet? Perhaps it’s covering up perfectly acceptable words on the mere assumption that he’s going to curse? Poor Zodon, he may have been misjudged all along!
The censor word is clearly chosen to match the curseword that Zodon is trying to use; starting with a vowel sound if and only if replacing a curseword that also starts with a vowel sound.
Did he just… siphon a power? Hard to tell exactly what’s happening, but it looks to me kinda like he’s chaining short-distance teleports.
I was guessing Spider-Agility. Or, in this universe Flea-Agility I guess.

Super speed?
Nah, too boring.
He Eschered! Not teleporting, he did the M C Escher thing
This is the best description for Ron’s power here.
A clue to consider alongside his recent catching of a ball bouncing between dimensions (2016-10-05).
So he saw a path where there was none?
He is going so fast there are multiple images of him to.
That is just a perception problem. The frame rate is not high enough for him to show up in distinct locations.
Had a feeling from the last panel that Ron was gonna swoop in to save the day. Now we just need to figure out what he just did…
And so does he…

It looks to me like he’s combing both Charles and the Fleas power. That is to say it looks like he’s teleporting and walking on walls.
OMG !! An update !?

This looks a lot like when Adem Warlock and Quasor and other Marvel Heroes use COSMIC AWARENESS in battle.
“2018-09-18”
2018?
Psst, just ignore the blue box fading out over there. Man, he still trying to drive with the parking brake on.
I reckon it’s probability based – hence the card game earlier and being in all the possible places he could be (but somehow the most useful) here.
Would also explain his supernatural bad luck. He THOUGHT it was Moonshadow, but what if it was Ron’s own unrecognised other power acting up?
Oooo! Clever idea, I like it.

The chip is in his brain. It knows what he was intending to say.
The censor word is clearly chosen to match the curseword that Zodon is trying to use; starting with a vowel sound if and only if replacing a curseword that also starts with a vowel sound.
