So, lacking a lottery win, I have come up with a cunning plan to start my altruistic projects, but in a way that allows me to make some money to keep going, in the process.Īll dependant on whether my ‘cunning plan’ is a series one or subsequent series Baldrick plan. One can only eschew it for so long, if wishing to change things. Whereas if you are diving in, in the pursuit of great wealth, you will be up to your neck in it!īut *sigh* money is necessary to do all too many things. Again something I know from having worked within it.Įven as a worker, and trying to steer clear of it, you find it swilling all around you, if you know what to look for. Which is what would be necessary if dealing with global finance. It is easier to avoid corruption when not immersed in it. Hedonism and the power that money brings are corrupting. I have known a lot of millionaires in my time, and know that is a risk not to be taken lightly. At the risk of getting too absorbed in the pursuit of wealth, and having principles fall by the way-side.
Still, it’s probably foolish to chance it, but for all anyone knows, it can absorb energy blasts in addition to being able to deflect them, and it was just waiting for a big burst damage to break out the ability.ĭouble res version will be posted over at Patreon. $1 and up, but feel free to contribute as much as you like. But again as Maxima pointed out, her blood is weird. Though it might be able to fly afterwards too, which wouldn’t be great. This golem is already strong and armored, so copying her powers may or may not have a big effect on it. If you could copy Cyclops’s eye beam, but could only generate enough energy to output 1/10th the beam, then all you could really do is distract cats. Maxima is correct however in the 4th panel when she suggests that even if something can copy her powers, that doesn’t necessarily make it as powerful as her. They do have moderate super strength and moderate super speed – it’s just not “stomp a tank flat” strength or “outfly Firefox” fast.
They have lots of other tricks which is what makes them dangerous. Of course one does not become an ancient vampire lord if their first thought when meeting a being like Maxima is to try and arm wrestle her. Even an ancient vampire lord can’t hold a candle to her in terms of raw power. Werewolves are stronger than humans, but they can’t rip the door off a bank safe. This is true with supers and it’s especially true when dealing with the supernatural. Or… fronts her? Fronts to her? I don’t think that term has been relevant for about 20 years. Maxima can be a little arrogant, but this stems from living in a world where 95% of the time she can stomp anyone who fronts.
