Vehemence must be really bored in prison to stop in a middle of a fight and play ball with Maxima here. Without at least a trickle of violence, he starts getting full body restless leg syndrome, and that's just for starters. Just like a succubus can't self-pleasure to gain tantric energy (like there's not any other reasons to do it) Vehemence can't punch himself in the face to power up. Now, if he smashes his head through a wall, and that causes sizeable collateral damage, then he can start building power from that, but if he's not already powered up quite a bit, he can't do enough damage for a net gain. Just like tantric magic, vehemic magic is much more effective the more people are involved.

For her part, Maxima takes pride in being a flying brick who actually knows a little bit about fighting, but she also likes to cut loose when she gets a chance.

Tamer: Enhancer 2 – Progress Update:

Spent most of the weekend working on the next vote incentive/nudie thing, but I think I've figured out the Eye-Q powers of everyone involved for the final fight... unless the final fight is against dinosaurs. No spoilers?

Mach 2 with one blow. Kevin would prefer a constant diet of slightly less than Maxima levels. But he also knows if he tries for an escape, she will just vaporize him. So it's eat what your offered, when your offered and don't rock the boat.

Tantric magic is more fun with a partner as well

Thanks for the early post! I'm enjoying Kevin playing ball. He could be a pretty potent deterrent if he joined the good guys.

Just noticed Maxima's hair tie broke off post kick. I wonder if that's because it was the only non reinforced article of clothing that she wears.

Anton Schleef

Agreed. And don't forget, depending on the setting there isn't much difference between villains and heroes, they're both fight junkies. This setting looks like it might be better than that, but having the wiggle room for people to be able to change sides helps to make things more interesting.

Power gained from violence minus healing crushed ribcage equals small net loss.

So, Kevin's power is similar to Kenya's, in the broad sense that the harder they get hit the better it is for them? Kevin's absorption is an area effect, vs. Kenya's body. Seems like their powers would be wildly synergetic together. If Kenya's power doesn't have a limit, could she charge up Kevin at a geometrically increasing rate?

From experience, doing kicks that require a wide range of motion, in jeans SUCKS. Jeans really weren't designed for doing that without splitting.

Justaguy

Good point. I doubt Maxima was comparing them to a line of poetry.

Kevin absorbs in the same way a succubus does, but for violence instead of sex. It's not similar to Kenya's ability to absorb kinetic energy. He could probably get juice from a violent enough videogame, like say one of the newer Doom ones. Which is probably why they have him on Kirby. So it's like that new-ish succubus in that bar scene hanging out outside the bathrooms to get a topup. Violence happening around him is what powers Kevin, not how hard he gets hit, aside from harder hits generally corresponding to more violence.

Supersonic... Boot To Da Head!!!

I like how panel 3 Kevin is Handsome Squidward Kevin. :D

Tim

That was, in retrospect, probably not a smart thing to say while standing NEXT TO two of the most powerful melee-combat supers on the PLANET!!!

I keep wondering, seeing that last panel, if Max can throw a punch/kick *so* hard & fast that just the pressure wave would knock someone back.

James C

Well, we saw 8 pages back that Kevin can, so… probably?

Christopher Smith

I feel that the last panel would be better if Max was on the ground in the previous panel. It's all fantastic, regardless. Thanks for the awesome comics!
