Angel 5: Is That It? Am I Done?  

[NAFDA] This is where we talk about the show! Anything that's aired in the US (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though -- if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

What kind of superpower is THAT?

It's not his only one -- he has super strength and endurance and can also control land animals.

I wouldn't kick it out of bed for eating crackers.

What's wrong with Aquaman?

All I know of Aquaman is that he speaks to the fishies and sometimes rides them. Seems like it would render him pretty useless in a situation that isn't in the water. I'm always up for a defense of Aquaman though.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Doesn't he have scales?

No, but it's not him I'd not kick out of bed (the hook is really the dealbreaker here) -- it's the powers.

See above. Why not have an extra-strong telepath with control of land and sea animals on your team?

Huh. I didn't know that Aquaman could communicate with and control land animals. That changes things, for me.

He was snooty on the JL cartoon the one time I saw him. I appreciate that.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

you'd have to bring more to the party than yellow, since only it's his ring that wouldn't work against yellow -- not anything else.

What if you were dressed as a banana while drinking lemonade?

When I used to watch the Superfriends when I was a kid, and the Wonder Twins would yell, "Wonder Twin Power ACTIVATE!", I would always think of perms. Like, "ACTIVATE" would suddenly make their hair straight. But really it would just be, "FORM OF A TSUNAMI!"

I think the land animals is a more recent development. Even so, with 75% of the earth covered in water, it's nice to know the baddies would have had to stick to land.

He'd probably beat the shit out of you. For very good reason.

The Wonder Twins were lame.

Ok, who was more annoying: Bat-mite or Gleek?

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

The Wonder Twins were lame.
