“Thock” is certainly traditional, while Defendress has gone for a newer and more unusual “Shmodd”, showing the decades of intervening development in action noises.
So he sees a group of people in costumes, doing absolutely nothing but talking to one another (and one not even wearing a costume) and promptly decides they have to be villains because why? Because they have costumes so that makes them villains? Even in the mainstream comics usually hero/hero fights happened because both were at crime scenes or snooping around areas where criminals where openly at and assumed the others were part of the ongoing crimes not just standing around chatting in costumes.
Or just because the writer needed to fill some pages (or an entire storyline). The formula is not complicated. Two groups meet. Leaders greet, faking a friendly disposition and harboring a never before seen resentment towards the other group. Two hot headed members exchange insults. Others try to intervene. Perceived insults are taken to the next level. Fighty time!

Not to mention it’s very difficult to show kicks without feet…
Well, someone sure accepted that particular challenge 30 years ago!
It’s not every day your father kicks you in the face
And it’s certainly not every day you get to kick him back

But where is the panda? Or at least a panda-themed superhero.
“Thock” is certainly traditional, while Defendress has gone for a newer and more unusual “Shmodd”, showing the decades of intervening development in action noises.
Well, that kick put her in a certain kind of Shmood…
Truly hoping this isn’t the incident where he loses a leg.
Who wants to bet it’s LP who lasers it off after someone says spider?
