Wait a second, how did the ring become invisible? Only the helmet is supposed to be inviible. And even if the ring had been on the inside, it would still be visible.
Maybe the helmet makes connected dead mater invisible too?
Unforunately taht would make it even less usefull to integrate into a full body costume…
I think he might’ve been to convince the helmet or the gifters that the ring, when attached to the helmet, is to be considered as part of the helmet and therefore made invisible also.
Yeah, that’s what I’m thinking, weld them together and they become the same object, so the effect works on the whole. On the other hand, the ring always had the strength to lift his body weight, so it must hit pretty hard if that helmet is flying with the full force needed to launch him.
I don’t see why the the ring even needs to be made invisible. It’s a fairly small object, floating in the air where no one expects it to be. I don’t think that most people would notice it.
It depends how much force this guy can exert with it. The ring and his ability to control it are bound by the laws of physics, I’m sure. We aren’t talking about an immovable object that’s absolutely fixed within the frame of reference of Earth’s gravitational field.
If the ring can exert a few hundred pounds of force, as seems to be implied by its ability to carry him while it’s flying, that’s still going to be nasty. I don’t think it’s going to be the same PSI as a bullet though. And I think it’s more like an inch square or there about.
I keep them because, hey, free lemons. In fact, I’ve got a bunch of lemons I found this afternoon. I’m going to make lemon chiffon cake with them! Take that, life!
When Life gives you lemons, you stare Life right in the eyes as you choke them down, peel and everything. You let Life you’ve had enough of its sh*t, and you’re done messing around.
So i wonder who the boss is, judging from the logo and the color i’d say its the “Equalizer” who seeks to right the injustice of women only committing 70% the rate of supervilliany as males
The secondary sexual characteristics of hair on the arms and legs (generally a male characteristic), the more developed upper body vs the lower (A male biological characteristic), the male pattern baldness (receding hair line),The crotch bulge in panel 2…..
Also: the black eye, bruise and visible blood from the nose in panel 3. Imagine how people would freak if a webcartoonist portrayed a female minion being beaten up in an identical fashion.
Why does he have a costume? A villain just needs to move at him at a brisk pace and grapple him, no running or punches to get at the guy telegraphing “I’m the guy controlling the invisible Helmet!”. Regularly change civilian clothes with different facial disguises and they will not be able to tell you apart from bystanders and onlookers.
You make an excellent point. Unless he’s looking to join a superhero team and wants to stand out so they can identify him, wearing a costume is a bad tactical move.
I thought that the smooth criminal was the one supposed to hit, not the other way around.
Now I want to know if his name is Annie, so I can ask if he’s Ok….
Ok – while the ingenuity is, admittedly, epic; great way to take someone else’s screw-ups and turn them into something moderately useful (and incredibly unexpected)!
… but let’s get to the REAL question and heart of the matter – what did you use to get rockin’ 6-pack abs ?!?!?!?! (especially in just a few days)… this is the information we *NEED* to know!
Is it better than the cat-levitating-guy (Cat-A-Pult)? 90% of the items on any ‘most useless superpowers ever” list are things I’d pay to have. OK, maybe 70%. The other 20 I’d still take for free.
I mean, dandruff manipulation? That’s marketable!
Okay, that will work.

Welding?

Maybe lots of epoxy… say a pound?
I don’t see why the the ring even needs to be made invisible. It’s a fairly small object, floating in the air where no one expects it to be. I don’t think that most people would notice it.
Running full force into 1/4 square inches of metal?
Morbid.

I wonder what evil mastermind would have his henchmen wearing pink….
It’s just Sextoy Man, that’s why there are censorship bars.
The nemesis of Bondage Man or whatever that character’s name is that freaks everyone out just by staring at them while wearing bondage gear and a gag
Ah, The Spank. I kind of forgot
This kid must have moved into shitropolis, No one from this city would be that smart.
yes but if the ring can be used like that why not make some armor and use the ring with that =-=
because why stand near people in a suit that may protect you when you can stand far away unknoticed and still beat them
its a super-city, metal armours not gonna do yu much good against the majority of the citizens XD
I think beige is right, also remember what Flying Fox Man said about armors: They don’t fit well in certain body areas.
When life gives you lemons…
You either make Lemonade or force life to take the Lemons back, dammit!
Freeze those suckers and chuck them at people.
I complain about the lemons!
I keep them because, hey, free lemons. In fact, I’ve got a bunch of lemons I found this afternoon. I’m going to make lemon chiffon cake with them! Take that, life!
And then treat the lemon peels with acid to turn it into explosives, then make a youtube video?
When Life gives you lemons, you stare Life right in the eyes as you choke them down, peel and everything. You let Life you’ve had enough of its sh*t, and you’re done messing around.
And then you get more lemons.
Life is all about lemons. Well, giving them to other people anyways.
Burn the house down… with the lemons
I was not expecting that at all. Well done, Mr. Dork, well done!

Speaking of how do you know the bandit is a he?

Ingenious! Walk into a super’s lair, and they will only check you for weapons, not armor
Beware villains! Beware the power of Synergy!
The ultimate concealed weapon! Synergy!

Must be smooth as in texture.
So he was the chosen one for a reason chosen so he could make their items useful
So Shitropolis is apparently a Sam & Max game, since he can use those things together.
suggested name: Ghost-Nutter
Of course my first thought was: What does he call himself? The “Flying Helm?” Bash Bowler? the “Chapeau Crusader?”
No no! Synergy! Synergy is the name. The ultimate concealed weapon!
Epic problem solving.
Yup.
OK, that is legitimately brilliant.

He probably pulled a Clooney and had them molded into his suit.
I’m not gonna lie…
That is some serious creativity right there.

Wait a CLEVER super hero?! Dafuq?!
There are a few. The Banana seems competent.
The Banana is the greatest hero in history.
Wait, I have the perfect name for him!
Behold the capers of the nefarious Camp Burglar!
Spank’s competent too
So’s the scarlet wich clone, Moondragon?
Somebody makes practical use of invisibility for a change!
So when will The Banana, The Spank, and Invisible Flying Helmet Man form a supertrio?
The Banana and the Spank already have a fairly tense relationship.
This is the best strip LSRH has made in years.
