It's not working. As a girl from London, let me say that I have never heard anyone from my country use the word whippersnapper. And we don't talk like posh nobs or drunken Cockneys -- at least most of us don't. Please don't try.<BR/>Also, VM -- Kestrel is English, I think. Don't describe him as "British". Welsh people, Scots people and Northern Irish people have entirely different accents.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8063506.post-1131895949488137032005-11-13T07:32:00.000-08:002005-11-13T07:32:00.000-08:00Alright, I'll read the entire blog before I read t...Alright, I'll read the entire blog before I read this post.

Maybe underneath it all, they are good in a Silver Age/Morrison way (references to some of the readers (depending on which universe you live in) superhero mythology, apologies to the readers who may not understand) and they simply are testing you. Anyway, imo, you did the right thing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8063506.post-1130846540848232962005-11-01T04:02:00.000-08:002005-11-01T04:02:00.000-08:00ActionLad!

I handed him his arse on more than one occasion, How the fuck did he manage to hook up with quark?! When I knew him he couldnt take a piss without fisticuffer giving him advise! Ah well I suppose some people have all the luck.

Because "Dr." Q can read their minds and know what they're going to do. Faceless, we need telepath-blocking helmets, stat! I know you don't normally do this sort of thing, but c'mon, it'll be like your organization's yearly donation to charity. It's probably tax-deductible.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8063506.post-1130517700351977312005-10-28T09:41:00.000-07:002005-10-28T09:41:00.000-07:00The Marauder should contact Wombat and Kestrel, ex...The Marauder should contact Wombat and Kestrel, explain what happened and enlist them to stop Quark's black-hole-opening playtime fun. Hydrangea might join too – the Marauder should at least <I>try</I> to convince her of Quark's abuse of power. <BR/><BR/>Dr.Quark needs to be stopped, IMO. The fact that they consider themselves heroes doesn't excuse them from responsibility. As Marauder pointed out, if Diabolik did what Quark did he would be hunted down like a dog – why NOT treat the Storm Riders the same way, really? because they're Above the Law?<BR/><BR/>Nope, they have to be stopped. And the Marauder is the only one who can do it, who isn't on Quark's side already.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8063506.post-1130302058819874332005-10-25T21:47:00.000-07:002005-10-25T21:47:00.000-07:00Yeah, you have a point.

Dr. Numbnuts and his minions would fold like cheap tortilla chips. And THEN.....AND THEN....THE VELVET MARAUDER WOULD REIGN AS THE SUPREME SUPERHERO OF EVERGREEN CITY!!

The recent actions of the Storm Riders show that they do not = JLA, Storm Riders = Magneto's Brotherhood of Mutants. Worst of all, they sent Hydrangea to SPY on him. They put cameras and crap in his suit!

You're better off alone. You can find somebody to supply you with gadgets. Talk to Faceless Henchwoman, she probably knows people. Screw you, Storm Riders! And Hydrangea!! And Midnight Rambler!!

The city still needs the Velvet Marauder! And it's not like he turned evil or anything, he just refused a job offer, offering reasonable reasons for his refusal. <BR/><BR/>Of course, being <I>(at least temporarily)</I> out of a job may resulting in some cash-flow problems for mr.
