So Marvel's new Spider-Gwen universe just revealed their version of Captain America, and she's got an interesting backstory...



I'm thinking a DW crossover may be necessary.

"I. Drink. Your. NERDRAGE!"

 

Rereading to get familiar for chapter 5. Good job on kB updates by the way. Start of the first chapter when Professor Trelawney has her vision and speaks in the "other" voice. Immediately popped into my head to be voiced by Keith David and his Goliath voice. Deep, powerful, and far removed from the professor's.

A strong combo package of flight and physical toughness, this song has the minor prerequisite of needing to be activated in a battlefield that has already suffered a significant amount of collateral damage. As such, it makes a nice "second gear" power to pull out if a fight becomes unexpectedly difficult, or to let Doug escape if it turns out to be beyond even his considerable power and versatility. (Or, of course, if whatever objective he has is secured without fully subduing the opposition, or is best served by disengaging and making an expeditious retreat.)

For some time now, I've been working on an alternate-history scenario (not for publication; just to write out the background so I can stop thinking about it).  It mentions in passing the creation of a mostly-economic pact I called the Pacific Commercial Entity (the U.S., China, the Philippines, Hawai'i, Japan, Annam, and a few others).  For several months, I was more-or-less satisfied with that name.  And only today did I realize what I'd get if I made it the  Pacific and East Asian Commercial Entity....
Considering that I'd already stated this group brought together multinational troops to counter at least one invasion, the acronym is quite appropriate.

Aaaaarrrgh.

Edit:  Underlining to clarify.

I have a special treat for everyone tonight...  Chapter 4 has been rereleased with about 55K of new material for your reading pleasure.  Basically, I realized several days ago that the beginning of chapter 5 that I'd been writing really belonged on the end of chapter 4.  So just search for "Hem, hem" and start from there.
Enjoy!

Then the horns kicked in...
...and my shoes began to squeak.

Voice actress Matsuki Miyu has died.  She was 38; the cause of death was pneumonia.
I found out by coming across this picture of one of her characters, the alien Kuuko from Haiyore! Nyaruko-san:

Effect: Dodging bullets. Doug doesn't usually have a problem himself, given his field, but this affects anyone he's with. The special effect is that the dodge looks like a swing dance number. If it's a mixed crowd, you end up with everyone jitterbugging and doing the lindy hop as the bullets fly around them. If it's a group of guys (or there's odd members who don't have a partner) it looks more like a Gene Kelly/Donald O'Connor routine. Either way, the magic enables dancers to do things they wouldn't ordinarily be physically capable of doing to dodge bullets.
