    I wonder if he ment for that to rhyme.

      Maybe he’s aspiring to be like Shantotto?

      I’m sure he did. I think supervillains get brownie points from their peers for monologging in rhyme. I think Ambrel is intact, just that she lust landed on the floor after jumping into the room and he super cushion folded.

      It’s also interesting that his polymorph other seems to be inverse to the power of those he uses it on. A talking floor lamp for mundanes, talking anthro heroes, and it seems to have either deflected or worn off fast for the most powerful hero. Power-Toby probably would have shrugged it off. He probably has an upper limit as to how many he can maintain. (the talking lamp, even more than the animals hints that is a compelling illusion)

    Guardian Angel, brought down? But even Elemental Powers couldn’t touch her!

    She’s not morphing but it looks like her “angel” *is*.

      E.P. has phenomenal power, but not cosmic power, I guess…

      Maybe the protective entity is doing the best it can, and soaking up the effect before it can touch Guardian Angel the girl…?

        Ambriel’s “Guardian Force” is indeed taking “the bullet” for her: it’s transforming into a rabbit so that she can remain unaffected. Given the way she’s crouching in the last panel it doesn’t seem like she can move at the moment, let alone swing her bat, because her “G.F.” is being constricted around her.

        Still, you’d think Victor would try to nullify her “Guardian” before he tries turning her into a a bunny. 😉

    Somebody really needs to do something about this kid and fast…!

      Note how Ambriel’s Guardian too the bunnification ray, her bat is stil in her hand and she’s in a crouch within jump-and-whack distance of Victor. I’d say it’ll get taken care of.

        Also not that Ambriel/82 is still flying.
        And that everyones constumes (and equipment) stayed intact. So he alter shapes, but does not take powers.

          Or, in this case, didn’t think to remove “powers,” just alter shapes. His power seems to be literal-minded at the moment. I expect this is a minor effect similar to his lapses in judgement when he’s Godlike-Supreme – the more “oomph” he has, the less well he plans when using it.

          @Christopher: Julie is “84”, not Ambriel. (Ambriel’s “Guardian Angel”.) Julie and Dillon may still have their powers, but they’re in the midst of being turned into rabbits, while Ambriel seems trapped beneath her “Guardian” while it shrinks to rabbit size.

    Can somebody get me that motivational poster with the psyonics bunny that says

    “It won’t unbalance the game, Honest.”

    Looking at Patriot, I suddenly have the theme song from American Rabbit running in my head.

    Someone needs to ground that kid for eternity. Plus one day.

      I think the most effective punishment for Victor would be a psychic block on his scientific genius. Imagine his horror at the knowledge of the full potential he can’t access anymore — unless he gets clearance, or serves out his sentence.

        Or send him to a parallel universe full of hyper-powered people. Everybody has Atlas’ powers and much more smarts than Hershel, Von Fogg, and Zodon combined.

        And put a block on genius.

          Even better: a modified version of Zodon’s “Barry Ween” chip. Whenever Victor tries to invent something harmful, it comes out as a hot dog, or a showtune.

          …come to think of it, both of those are pretty damaging. Bad example.

      No, Victor should be banished to Kansas, where they might be reinstating corporal punishment for minors. :p

    Without his godpower all he has is his intelligence and that just makes him a smart but stupidly dressed jerk. As soon as that power is gone He is in for one HELL of a wuppin’.

      Don’t forget all of his gizmos…

    Just noticed that his keyboard and monitor are actually formed out of the desk they’re on.
