Starbolts #741: Tanis's Big Date

 Hail!

    As usual it looks like Tanis was worried about nothing. Heidi was never going to break up with Tanis. Instead, she wanted him and Lucy to be involved with her. How will they make it work? That's to be determined. I think it was clear that Lucy wanted Tanis since the moment she met him. I don't know if I'd call it love at first sight. However, there was a spark there and now the three of them look like they're going to try and make it work.

    It's a shame Heidi's parents are a wee bit bigoted. I wasn't about to show that argument. We likely won't be seeing the Monroes again unless it's absolutely necessary. And it likely won't be. Then again Heidi has a teenage brother. He might be a metahuman as well! Won't that be a shock to the parents? I could make him a meta. It would just depend on what kind of power I want to give the kid. If he is one, I wonder if it'd be enough to turn her parents around. That might be wishful thinking on my park. Perhaps they'll change their minds. 

    For now, it looks like Heidi, Tanis and Lucy are involved and this might play into whatever Medea is planning. If they can't find their people, what other course of action could they have to bring them back? I don't want to say it's like Marshall or Lancer's breeding initiative. But, this might have a greater purpose than that. Tanis is the only known male Faeori. He's going to have to do something about his species and I don't think Shenra will be helping him. Yes. Shenra is also Faeori. She just doesn't know it. I'll probably be revealing that in this arc to her.  

   That reminds me. Soon we will be following Crystal and Marcus to Aquarius for their wedding. There's likely going to be shenanigans before the big day.  What superhero story doesn't have drama in some form. It has been a while since we've visited Aquarius. So, we're going to check things out there as the Starbolts head there for a wedding next comic.

    I'm sure Tanis will be invited. Heidi and Lucy can be his plus one. Err....plus two. Marcus and Crystal better send those invitations out before someone gets involved with any other people.

See ya next time!

Oh and as for program thirty? Well, what happens on the holodeck stays on the holodeck! 

Starbolts #740: A Perfect World

 Hail!

    Another day has been saved thanks to the Starbolts. They put an end to Lancer's bid to create a breeding program pretty effectively. You might be wondering what will happen to Jared Lancer next. I'll be going over that in future comics. Right now it's time to savor the team's hard earned victory. They had been fighting Cyclone for a long time and they nipped it in the bud before it got too crazy. That's being proactive. There might be other criminal organizations out there. I think the 'Bolts got lucky dealing with someone who was just so incredibly inept. They might not be lucky next time.

    I did have to draw a parallel with Clive's actions. The guys had similar beliefs in eugenics and everything. I'm pretty sure they'll be sharing a prison cell. Assuming Lancer will be going to a normal prison. He likely won't be given his magical nature and everything. No, I'm sure the Order of Korun will have something to say on this matter. Their punishment might be more severe than anything  

    Meanwhile, it looks like Heidi and Lucy are certainly ummm...friendly with each other. More on that next comic. If those two get back together, who knows what it will mean for Tanis. He is still in love with Heidi and we can only hope that he isn't the jealous type. More on that drama next comic. I know I left some dangling plotlines with this arc. They'll be resolved in time for a wedding in Starbolts #750!

See ya next time! 

Starbolts #739: A Perfect Mate

 Hail!

    Now, that was a twist! Did anyone really think I was going to put Tanis and Heidi into danger like that? Pfft. No! I wonder if anyone actually saw that one coming. Imagine Lancer's reaction when he finds out that his prized "visions of perfections" were androids. He'll be shocked for sire.

    Here's how it all went down.  Aquita, Takashi, Carter and Kevin took the remains of several androids and turned them into robot duplicates of Tanis and Heidi. To make them seem more lifelike, they had to be controlled remotely via the virtual reality headsets they were wearing in the jet. Essentially, this is payback for all the times Lancer and his crew used androids on them. It didn't take long for Team Science to sort it all out, get the hardware ready and get Heidi and Tanis all ready for this task.

     I have a feeling Lancer isn't going to react well to this change of events. His plan to create a perfect world are about to fail. Next comic will see the end of this chapter and the beginning of a new one. However, Lancer does have a point. Tanis and Medea may very well be the last of their kind. They will have to rebuild their civilization. That's an issue Tanis is going to have to deal with very, very soon.

     For now the tables have turned on Lancer. Let's see if he catches on to the ruse. Chances are he won't because the man is clearly full of himself. His ego is as high as the Carpathian Mountains. Sigh. Perhaps Marcus is right. A supervillain hideout in Tahiti would be a good idea. 

See ya next time! 

Starbolts #738: The Iron Eagle Rises

 Hail!

    Here it is, ladies, gentlemen and others! The final fight between Jack Whitefox and Roger Stevens over the right to the Iron Eagle mantle! I will admit that the fight was evenly matched until Jack's sisters Carter and Crystal showed up. They were always going to be part of the final battle because the legacy of Iron Eagle is theirs as well and Roger here trampled all over it. Not only that. He had android versions of the Guardians protecting him. Since they were all deceased he tarnished their memory by using them to attack our heroes.  He used androids based on his friend Sentinel in his attacks. That isn't going to sit well with the superhero community.

    Another thing that isn't going to sit well with anyone (Well, Crystal and Carter anyway) is how Lancer used an android based on Velocity in this group. Velocity, if you recall, was a clone of Carter Clive Marshall created to infiltrate the Guardians. She broke free of his control and unfortunately suffered a sad fate just before the real Carter returned to the Starbolts. Her final resting place is with the Whitefoxes' grandparents. Of all of Carter's clones, that one is one of the ones she liked the most. The jury's still out on Nikki.

    The next part of the plan has been set into motion as Heidi tricked Lancer into taking her and Tanis to his final hideout.  I know it didn't take much convincing. But, whoever said Jared Lancer was a smart man? Not me. The end his coming for him. I just need to decide if the final battle will be at the Faeori city or at this hideout. We shall see. I do have to admit he was gullible. All it took was a few words from Heidi to turn things around? Man, no wonder he flunked out of magic school.

See ya next time!
