    Hmm, it’s not one of Ringo’s inter-dimensional communication devices, that’s kind of on the fritz (cause well he is)? That could call for a Crossover!

    So now he is channeling not just MODOK, but Doctor Octopus as well.

      Looks more like one of Alastair Smythe’s Spider Slayers.

    This isn’t even Zodon’s final form.

    Whatever is driving Ron to do it, knowing when to listen to the bad guy – rather than just refusing anything he says because he’s the bad guy – is a valuable thing. Props to him.

      Also, Zodon has started to EXPLAIN himself, not just dismiss explanations as a waste of time… actual character growth all round

    Zodon lied. He absolutely wanted to do this.

    The scary thing is … I’m inclined to believe Zodon over the EDL most days.

      Zodon has repeatedly shown himself to be a villain-in-name-only. He is a mischief-maker, but he doesn’t actually hurt anybody beyond a bit of pranking. And when people are in danger, he is actually a classic anti-hero. ” you all to , FINE! I’ll save your , but you totally owe me!”

      The EDL, we’ve only seen in proximity to Tyler’s parents. Who are heroes, but only just barely avoiding “villain with good PR.” They do good…as long as you don’t have to interact with them for very long. Of course the EDL, seen through that lens, leaves a bad taste in people’s mouths.

        As this is about the shool children, “Adultes are uselesss” applies (TV Trops link: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AdultsAreUseless)

      On the one hand ELD is lead by people who seem believe either that life is not worth living without superpowers or that radiation poisoning is more like to lead to superpowers than death but seems to have some competent adults on staff.
      On the other hand Zodon is super smart but is a child who thinks everyone is useless except super geniuses, and has chosen to act like a villian even if its mostly acting.
      My guess is ELD’s shield is inadiquate but Zodon can not be completely trusted with it for different reasons, and his method of stealing it is more likely to make it a now problem.

      1. Segev

        Strangely, Zodon actually has never done something that he wasn’t absolutely correct about the functionality of. Even his time travel misadventure was due to outside interference, not due to him failing to properly understand what he personally had built. While he might have overt plans to use this for nefarious purposes, I have little doubt that his containment measures would be more than adequate and that he would, if not interfered with, safely control it. For values of “safely” meaning “it doesn’t explode in ways he didn’t mean for it to.”

        I also suspect that, if his plan came to fruition without interference, he would find an excuse not to use it in whatever “evil” way he has planned, and would wind up doing something that was Megamind-type villainy with nobody actually hurt or threatened beyond mild inconvenience as his performance art redirected some traffic.

          We’ll see. Chances are not bad that the dangerous McGuffin will be neutralized so no one can use it. ^_^

    Huh? Who wouldn’t want to shoot Zodon?
