Poor New-Atlas. Will he overcome his life’s lesson of doing what you’re told? Will he ever become a real hero, and not just a lackey in a cape and tights?
I dunno.
Seriously Forgax, helping the villain is not very heroic, unless you’re helping him to jail. Which you’re not.
Yeah, he just doesn’t seem to be grasping the sequence of
a]distract villain
b] free associate
c] overcome & restrain villain
d] summon authorities for timely clean-up
Frankly, I think we’d be better off kicking him off-planet and just going without an Atlas, before some supervillain turns him into a lackey.
Scary thought. Put this guy into a Praetorian uniform (w/o the mask) and give him a German accent. Damn if he doesn’t give a good ‘How may I help you today, Mein Fuhrer?’ impersonation.
aww, he was far too straight forward with his instructions. Should have been:
“I certainly hope not, certainly don’t go into the engine room and find the bulb, if you do don’t let this crystal I’m handing you for safe keeping fall into that grill, if it did it’d harmlessly set off every alert on the ship when it goes to hyperdrive, now i gotta go take a leak leaving it mysteriously ungarded don’t go aboard
“Harmlessly set off every alert on the ship”, or “be a wrench in the hyperdrive, causing it to violently malfunction and kill Dax-Ra, but of course it wouldn’t be safe to tell two mere mischief-makers the real results”?
I think the softlings don’t get that a reluctant Atlas is worse than none at all.

Some people just don’t have the will or self-sacrifice for super-heroing.
84’s gonna have to threaten him with a thumping in order to get him to help.
mischief! I shall help you with your prankings
