FancyShark

Roxy, you can do way better

Brendan

Grunge, what is below a fuckboy?

Tom strips for action!

tremulous

adjective

shaking or quivering slightly.

"Barbara's voice was tremulous"

Hm, I'll allow it. But watch yourself, counselor

gellaho

Am I supposed to be keeping up with comics continuity with this shit? If so, you can fuck off

Areze

sex pervert?

FlippantSausage Bullies The Dead

I feel like expecting someone to have read a Gen13 comic should get you tried in the Hague.

gellaho

Grunge, I hate you

Areze

So this is just teen titans but Worse And Somehow Hornier

Tom strips for action!

Ugh

PhysWiz vs The New Year

At least he didn't just watch them die

Areze

Teen Titan As Written By Brooke McEldownie (or w/e)

Tom strips for action!

I hate that "horny to be of service, ma'am" trope

FlippantSausage Bullies The Dead

Except they arent teens, theyre vaguely college aged, but yeah.

gellaho

That fight ends as pointlessly as it began

Brendan

That's just mean.

Tom strips for action!

You're breathing in brick dust, Grunge. Fucking focus

gellaho

Everyone is still incredibly horny and angsty

Areze

I'm not sorry

gellaho

Really expecting me to care about Grunge getting his feelings hurt after he just excitedly dry humped three women

FancyShark

So the x-axis on Roxy's eyes is 150%?

Brendan

Reminder that Nightwing lost his virginity to either Batgirl or alien SISI royalty, depending on your continuity.

Why should I care about Dickhead Grunge?

YVONNE CRAIG

or Therese

Ska Slut noiretoon

Not fair to just drop the nuclear option like that

FlippantSausage Bullies The Dead

90s girls love a questionably Asian sex pest obsessed with kung fu movies.

Ska Slut noiretoon

What if Amadeus Cho didn't have a shirt, or a personality besides 'boner'

FancyShark

That explains Seagal

Areze

this is sadly probably accurate

gellaho

Sarah's rally was sparsely attended. Skipping it

Now she randomly runs across a teen gang

Ska Slut noiretoon

"not even the readers showed up" XD

Tom strips for action!

I don't know how any of you guys could have been confused that Grunge is Asian. Look at this flawless integration of his heritage

Areze

the fuck is that art

Tom strips for action!

Haha no idea

Areze

it took me a minute to figure out what his arms were doing

Ska Slut noiretoon

Rob Liefield's Moe Howard

FlippantSausage Bullies The Dead

In the first five issues or so he just looked like a regular white surf bro.

FancyShark

Being drawn by Rob Liefeld does not make you Asian

Tom strips for action!

Just googled gen 13 grunge and saved the funniest pic

Areze

his hands are fucking enormous

FlippantSausage Bullies The Dead

Like his head was a fuckin rectangle.

Areze

was he spliced with a gorilla

Ska Slut noiretoon

The ninja bodies are to hide his lil feet

gellaho

One of the gang members got accidentally shot by a scienx and gun

PhysWiz vs The New Year

I spilled soy sauce on my pants today, and I, too, covered the embarrasment with ninja corpses

gellaho

Moving on

Seems like there are better things to do with this technology

Brendan

I mean, not to sound racist, but his fists are the size of his head, what nationality does that sound like to you and also I don't know what nationality he descends from oh god don't cancel me I just learned this tonight

PhysWiz vs The New Year

"Shit! I thought that was a really tall guy t-posing at me"

Brendan

You're not turned on by quad??

Tom strips for action!

So what is a stinger? I'm guessing not the missile, because they aren't sweeping her up with a broom

Ska Slut noiretoon

Baxter Stockman looks on as his new streetlight-generating beam is tested by the Mob

Brendan

Baxter Stockman got done dirty.

PhysWiz vs The New Year

Taking a note from the Yakuza and helping the neighborhood out

Ska Slut noiretoon

"no! My device was meant to generate streetlights for all mankind!!!"

gellaho

A mob boss buys some ray guns

FlippantSausage Bullies The Dead

The fuck is this interaction?

FancyShark

"I bet I know what criminals sound like"

Tom strips for action!

The point would be to steal obviously

gellaho

It's an unnecessarily long part of the book

Brendan

SUDDENLY HAWKE

FlippantSausage Bullies The Dead

oooh an Atomizer.

Tom strips for action!

So that's an Atomizer, not a Stinger?

gellaho

You think that's stupid, they spend quite a bit of time figuring out how best to park their cars

gellaho
PhysWiz vs The New Year

(Early spray bottles were called atomizers)

Tom strips for action!

Oh yeah

FlippantSausage Bullies The Dead

Who the fuck wrote Carlo Provolone like this?

Brendan

chili time. Good luck in the '90s...DUDES! to the x-TREME!!!!

gellaho

Meanwhile, the presumed villain from 50 pages ago has returned in an adorable helicopter

FancyShark

Later, @Brendan !

Tom strips for action!

Same guys who wrote a paragraph of Frank saying to himself that he knows what bodyguards do

FlippantSausage Bullies The Dead

Save some for later and make chili dogs if possible.

Tom strips for action!

Oh and speak of the devil...

FlippantSausage Bullies The Dead

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck ooooooooooofffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff

BlindMonkey DARK

If only I could absorb Chili from the sun like Vitamin D

Tom strips for action!

Woo Dennard's here

BlindMonkey DARK

I need to know what prose Gen13 holds

gellaho

Frank's going to try to steal the laser gun

BlindMonkey DARK

Oh it holds gold

FlippantSausage Bullies The Dead

Aw quaint, he had an AK-47 in a world where every third dipshit has a laser gun he stole from the Devil.

gellaho

Good news for Carlo, he has the magic science gun

FancyShark

Hi, @BlindMonkey DARK !

BlindMonkey DARK

Ahoy!

gellaho

The nerd who was selling the weapons hired a NASCAR driver for the getaway, which are not applicable skills

PhysWiz vs The New Year

He is very, very good at turning in one direction

BlindMonkey DARK

Threading a Land Rover is the wildest spec fic element

Ska Slut noiretoon

They just sang instead. Carlo cursed, the Atomizer had been set to "musical theater"

gellaho

Luckily, he also still has a magic science gun

gellaho

And that's that chapter. Pretty pointless

Tom strips for action!

Yeah, street racer would make a lot more sense for this

Ska Slut noiretoon

I hope the gun just moves things to elsewhere in the world

Velo, Juice Criminal

Can't be pointless if there's a magic science gun

gellaho

Fuck, what?

Velo, Juice Criminal

Uh

Ska Slut noiretoon

So a helicopter and a streetlight just ported into Schloss Reitberger or w/e

BlindMonkey DARK

Her glee in the bottom right corner is gold

FlippantSausage Bullies The Dead

Sure, this is lines and curves arranged in a way that creates a picture to the human eye.

gellaho

Roxy is very upset the dirtbag drummer she was dating turned out to be a dirtbag

FancyShark

There's a lawn somewhere overflowing with garbage

Ska Slut noiretoon

I know Grunge is probably stopping a purse snatching, but the man's pose makes it look like it's his

gellaho

Oh, also Grunge gave her a horny t-shirt

Velo, Juice Criminal

Good job, Grunge

Tom strips for action!

Many years ago seanbaby did an article on cracked about those insane iq test ads with bizarre photoshops and "is this image REAL or FAKE? 90% get it wrong!" Type banners. And there was one with a boy whose lips were stretched out like a beak and this mindless blank rage behind his eyes

This pic just reminded me of that for some reason

PhysWiz vs The New Year

The science guy is so lonely, with enough atomized/teleported goons he can get a D&D game going

gellaho

Meanwhile, Grunge gets so mad he turns into glass

FancyShark

Whomst

Tom strips for action!
gellaho

I guess his organs don't turn, which raises some questions

FlippantSausage Bullies The Dead

lol

FancyShark

Seems like the key to success is to carry a diamond with you at all times, Grunge

FlippantSausage Bullies The Dead

This indicates you could see the inner workings of his dick and balls.

BlindMonkey DARK

"Get that bit checked out."

gellaho

Fuck me, JeffScott, you guys got anything but the most cliched shit you can think of?

FlippantSausage Bullies The Dead

"Huh my liver looks a little weird today........... Eh probably nothing."

gellaho

Define "working"

Ska Slut noiretoon
BlindMonkey DARK

Heheh

FancyShark

Grunge, if you're going to morph into whatever substance you touch when you get excited, you should not be dating

gellaho

Meanwhile meanwhile, Burnout is still trying to get something going with his lesbian friend

Tom strips for action!

Also the metaphor doesn't work because you CAN'T see what he is most of the time. That's why Therese was surprised

gellaho

Then he could literally be what he metaphorically is: a giant pussy

Tom strips for action!

Fuckin GOTTIM

FlippantSausage Bullies The Dead

If your soyburger tastes bad, its because you didnt use enough spices. Also throw some doritos on that bad boy.

FancyShark

He tries to do the popcorn bucket trick and turns into butter

gellaho

Just call him butterfingers from how much he jerks it

Tom strips for action!

Oh I forgot he was chasing a lesbian, as well as ditching her to go to a concert

FlippantSausage Bullies The Dead

Also Bobby, trust me, I get it. Its tough finding out the girl you like is an Omega Lesbian but you have to let it go. Quickly.

Tom strips for action!

Can't we just pick one way he's a bad boyfriend? Do we need a whole potluck?

FancyShark

Staying on that path leads to MRA, Bobby

Velo, Juice Criminal

No add a fourth

FlippantSausage Bullies The Dead

Also bud shes a sex predator, shes not worth being interested in.

Tom strips for action!

Fuck me it's hard to catch up with a superhero ensemble story

gellaho

Meanwhile meanwhile meanwhile, Fairchild is still upset about how perfect she is

Tom strips for action!

Keep listing ages and milestones

FlippantSausage Bullies The Dead

God I hate her the most somehow. Shes a genius with a superhuman body and all she does is biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitch about it.

Fucking cure cancer.

Tom strips for action!

What are you going to put on your tombstone Caitlin? You need to decide! Now!

gellaho

Oh, their primary villains exploded between the last book and this one

Velo, Juice Criminal

Oh

gellaho

Weird thing not to actually put in a book

Velo, Juice Criminal

Well that's good

Tom strips for action!

Also I cannot stress enough how much it is your choice what you wear as a battlesuit

Get some cargo pants and a puffy jacket

FlippantSausage Bullies The Dead

Oh are we doing a "What do we do about youth gang violence?!" psa with this one? Let me get my special DARE shirt.

Ska Slut noiretoon

...were the people who attacked them children?

gellaho

Why write this

BlindMonkey DARK

So humanized

Very grounded

gellaho

Nah, when Sarah went to her rally she randomly found a teen gang that had future weapons

Ska Slut noiretoon

WOW THAT EXPLAINS SO MUCH

GRUNGE IS A TEST PATTERN OF A PERSON

FancyShark

Grunge, go back to counting paste on the wall

FlippantSausage Bullies The Dead

To be fair this is what Grunge hears when anyone is talking.

PhysWiz vs The New Year

he used to be, but now he is just static

Tom strips for action!

We never got confirmation on what a Stinger is, so I'm forced to assume it's a gun that shoots bees

gellaho

Pretty sure Belushi died when Grunge was like 2 years old

Tom strips for action!

Which was a power my latest dnd character had so yeah, good choice gen 13

FancyShark

"You know the one, kids! John Belushi! He died when you all were learning what sound a duck makes!"

PhysWiz vs The New Year

Yeah but we all grow up watching our dad's favorite movies

Tom strips for action!

How did that happen immediately after I mentioned bees

gellaho

Now I have to remember if we were previously told Roxy and Caitlin were related

gellaho
FancyShark

Not that I recall

gellaho

Anyway, a purse snatcher randomly appears

Ska Slut noiretoon

Love it when characters want to quit their own book

This worked when Spidey and the Titans did it because they didn't have Wikipedia summaries for personalities

Tom strips for action!

Wow I guess maybe we do make a difference after all

gellaho

That chapter was also of little note

Velo, Juice Criminal

Did you miss the purse snatching?

How could something be more exciting!

gellaho

Chapter 5

Ska Slut noiretoon

Roxy knew what to do. Immediately changing herself into a purse,

FlippantSausage Bullies The Dead

Hahahahah

FlippantSausage Bullies The Dead

Being economical with their lines for Science Man.

Tom strips for action!

These characters are having a broad shoulders competition

FlippantSausage Bullies The Dead

It was the fashion at the time.

gellaho

Looks like Burnout's homeless father figure is getting experimentee on

FlippantSausage Bullies The Dead

Hell yeah, this is the kind of depravity the 90s kids loved, medical experiments on the homeless!

FancyShark

I too feel like I've won the lottery when I donate blood

Tom strips for action!

"woo my body has value! Wait you need me alive right? Nah I won't question it woo champagne!"

gellaho

The mailman?

Tom strips for action!

There's a Roald Dahl short story about a homeless man with a huge incredible tattoo on his back that was done by a famous dead artist

People start bidding on his skin

gellaho

Extremely weird name choice, JeffScott

Ska Slut noiretoon

"he just hoped he wouldn't see something so unbelievable he'd comically throw the bottle away"

FlippantSausage Bullies The Dead

Delicious Thunderbird.

gellaho

Jeff's got a type

FlippantSausage Bullies The Dead

I mean..........

Whomst amongst us?

gellaho

Just really wants to get crushed by the ladies

Tom strips for action!

5 feet tall with arms thicker than most men's thighs, I think puts her in fantasy dwarf proportions

Ska Slut noiretoon

"Get another shipment of cranberry juice in here. These monitors won't watch themselves."

FancyShark

...

I'm listening

gellaho

I have no idea if any of this stream of proper nouns is going to actually matter at all

Tom strips for action!

You'll have to sign up for my patreon to get the rest of that one

gellaho

Reminder that the bad guy exists

Ska Slut noiretoon

🤣 and I just mentioned cranberry juice

FancyShark

A profit of $28K is only impressive if you're doing a single day of trading, Wager. That's not a lot for a global upset

gellaho

Ahuh, that qualifies as an origin. I guess

Ska Slut noiretoon

If laundered through Bangkok Knockout, twenty eight thousand dollars gets ya fifty thousand dollars

gellaho

Well, yeah

FancyShark

That's what Reno's for, Wager

Tom strips for action!

We know you beat the odds, Wager, this was the same way you were described last time

Ska Slut noiretoon

Born Thomas Carlisle, he was exposed to radioactive gambling debts in the Nevada desert!

gellaho

He wins a $1 million poker tournament, then immediately gets caught trying hire a prostitute

gellaho

This is the worst origin story I've ever seen

Tom strips for action!

Shouldn't he have known the odds of that?

Ska Slut noiretoon

That was before his Wagering

Tom strips for action!

Or did he only know gambling odds until after that terrible day

Tom strips for action!

Yeah you got it

gellaho

This is nothing! What

PhysWiz vs The New Year

This mob makes me miss the horny teens

Ska Slut noiretoon

THIS MOTHERFUCKER'S A LEPRECHAUN????

Tom strips for action!

This is garbage

gellaho

This is the least impressive villain

Tom strips for action!

You can't figure out the lottery numbers

Pick anything else for that moment

FancyShark

This is Akagi, but boring and terrible

PhysWiz vs The New Year

This is just an average nerd

Areze

Wouldn't calculating odds be better for the stock market rather than lottery shit

Ska Slut noiretoon

His origin story's literally 'he fucked up so bad he got powers'

Tom strips for action!

YES

Ska Slut noiretoon

Real missed opportunity not making his two henchwomen Faith and Begorrah

gellaho

Now one of the many muscle women decides to drug the homeless man with the same name as a 2 time NBA MVP

FancyShark

I'm getting inconsistent info here. Is she evil?

Because the writing's very ambiguous

Velo, Juice Criminal

You know I think she might be evil

FancyShark

Huh

Velo, Juice Criminal

She is, at the very least, rude

gellaho

Wager offers to buy Joe

FancyShark

"It's slavery. It's not weird."

gellaho

I don't think that's actually all that close

Areze

That's less related than chimps IIRC

FancyShark

Mice have that same level of similarity

Ska Slut noiretoon

Joe pulls off a mask and takes off his jacket to reveal the same undercover cop from Reno

WAGNER: No! ::choke:: NOOOO

Areze

Hell cabbage is like 40% IIRC

gellaho

Joe agrees

Ska Slut noiretoon

" I love percentages. I use them"

Simply incredible writing

gellaho

Meanwhile, the NBA all star gets more thunderbird

gellaho
FlippantSausage Bullies The Dead

Hell yeah, more Thunderbird.

Its very affordable.

gellaho
gellaho
Ska Slut noiretoon

"sorry, I was assembled in a hurry"

gellaho

Sarah's back at the shelter, let's see if this goes anywhere

Tom strips for action!
gellaho

I guess the homeless people don't recognize her, implying they've gotten the thunderbird treatment

Ska Slut noiretoon

The look of a man who was put together despite the instructions accidentally getting thrown out with the box

Ska Slut noiretoon

PLEASE tell me they each get a bottle of Thunderbird regardless 🤣

gellaho

Let the homeless people eat their meat, Sarah

FancyShark

Yep, that common meat

Ska Slut noiretoon

Rain forest beef is what the rest of the team calls Sarah when she gets like this

gellaho

I'm sure all this Tyrone backstory is vitally important

FancyShark

"Hi. I'm Jerry Springer, Every Season Combined"

Velo, Juice Criminal

He dies in three pages doesn't he

gellaho

That's the only reason a homeless guy would have that, sure

FancyShark

That one's going in the collage

gellaho

Guess they completely skipped the Keys adventures in the books

gellaho

Jeff's erection came back

FancyShark

Just a reminder: Her powers made her hot

Ska Slut noiretoon

Powered by painkillers, Tyrone became OP8, Wager's archenemy

gellaho

This was not in the books, so I do not

FlippantSausage Bullies The Dead

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck oooooooooooffffffffffff
