Meanwhile, a few feet from her, Eva starts crying a different kind of tears trying to contain her laughter since she never heard Alex’s battle name before.
Blue Falcon is an owned character. [The one from a cartoon with Dog Wonder, Dynomutt.] I’d go with something like Azure Eagle, or Blue Peregrine or something.
And yeah, I meant the common stuff. Tritium isn’t exactly common in nature. Besides, who cares about a little alpha radiation? It’s stopped by a sheet of paper or the sheets of dead skin that comprise the outer layer of our bodies.
Anyway, the products of nuclear fusion aren’t usually radioactive, until you get to the upper end of the periodic table, and you don’t require radioactive inputs. It’s typically much cleaner than nuclear fission by many orders of magnitude.
What is typically meant by “radioactive” is the aspect of the elements that naturally break down into constituent elements, not the radiation itself.
Hmmm… a weapon based on a failed fusion reactor? I like! Nothing says die like a weapon of mass destruction, and one that is in violation of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons. Yup. Magnificent!
I have used the phrase “I’ve heard worse” in relation to some lousy poetry a guy on campus was reciting. It blew his mind so badly he ended up following me around like a puppy for the next three semesters.
Defendress and Buckaress? So they perform “ress-cues”? And the other members of the cast are called “and the ress?” *tee-hee*
And her sister is a repressed super-gadgeteer, just waiting for a fit of boredom or a double-shot of tequila (after baby of course) to go on a super-gadget building binge?
I think she had the name from the beginning. It just wasn’t used until now, to the point that it became a joke. Eva had been told the name previously, at the time of the joke. She just didn’t remember.
You might also like Spider-Punk or the Spider-Man themes from the electric company. (Im totally don’t admit that I remembered the orchestral versions and googled.)
“Defend-dress”? So she hunts down criminals with woman’s clothes fetishes?
In women’s clothing?
Meanwhile, a few feet from her, Eva starts crying a different kind of tears trying to contain her laughter since she never heard Alex’s battle name before.
She has, she just keeps forgetting… It’s still better than Buckeress.
Or Lazer Pony…
Yup, but if you are a villain and was beaten by the two, would you admit it? Beaten by Laser Pony… Or I beat Laser Pony. Lose-lose.
It’s almost enough to make one quit the supervillain gig altogether.
In a town called Shitropolis I imagine there are a lot of names like these
Not by much.
So… how’s the progress on the fusion reactor.
Our expectations are lower then most parts of the test reactors were in the first second after turning on.
Aww… I always thought of her as the Blue Falcon. It suits her costume.
Blue Falcon is an owned character. [The one from a cartoon with Dog Wonder, Dynomutt.] I’d go with something like Azure Eagle, or Blue Peregrine or something.
Duck poo. Azure Eagle sounds cool too, though.
Beth really reminds me of Lt. Uhura in the last panel. Black woman wearing a red dress and hoop earrings, and holding her hand up to her ear.
Defendress? Well there is a superhero called “superhero”…..
And there’s Captain Super, Captain Hero and Gay Basher!

Don’t forget Heroman
…Do I want to know why she was trying to build a mini fusion reactor?
Because they told her she could not do it!
But she showed them!
She showed them all!
*Insert maniacal laughter here*
Ever heard of the radioactive boy scout? He didn’t have much of a reason but that didn’t stop him.
Fusion doesn’t produce nuclear radiation, as fission does.
… well, not the same sort, at any rate.
Well… it depends on what you are fusing. Hydrogen to Hydrogen yeah, you are gonna lack alpha radiation… ahem. Tritium to tritium… yikes!
Oh yeah, and remember friends don’t let friends fuse Carbon.
Carbon is such a whore. It’ll bond with anything.
And yeah, I meant the common stuff. Tritium isn’t exactly common in nature. Besides, who cares about a little alpha radiation? It’s stopped by a sheet of paper or the sheets of dead skin that comprise the outer layer of our bodies.

That’s why there is the beryllium barrier.
PS: Never start fusing iron. Especially not in your home star.
Because why not?
I so wanted this to cut away at the last frame, to keep the nameless hero nameless.
Ok, let’s see: “Bucka-ress”, “Defend-ress”, is her alias the “Scient-ress”?
“Common Sense Mist-ress”?
“Midnight Exp-ress”?
Is she going to build gadgets for Defendress and Buckaress. Was her superhero name one of the ones that was worse.
Hmmm… a weapon based on a failed fusion reactor? I like! Nothing says die like a weapon of mass destruction, and one that is in violation of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons. Yup. Magnificent!
Are there any treaties in place to ban the use of weapons based upon matter/anti-matter annihilation?
I have used the phrase “I’ve heard worse” in relation to some lousy poetry a guy on campus was reciting. It blew his mind so badly he ended up following me around like a puppy for the next three semesters.
Oooooh. Yeah, don’t feed the stray puppies, man.
If she swapped her sensible costume for something traditionally loud and flashy with a miniskirt, she could be “Deafen-dress”.
*crickets chirp*
That actually wouldn’t be completely out of place, in this comic.
I would have gone with ‘Wingknight’
Defendress and Buckaress? So they perform “ress-cues”? And the other members of the cast are called “and the ress?” *tee-hee*
And her sister is a repressed super-gadgeteer, just waiting for a fit of boredom or a double-shot of tequila (after baby of course) to go on a super-gadget building binge?
And guess who will benefit from her gadgets?
She will be the Q/Alfred/Lucius Fox for this dynamic duo!
Defendress and Buckaress.
Not Batman and Robin,….. or even Green Arrow and Speedy,…
But for this city, this ‘ll do.
265 comics to come up with the name and that’s the best she can come up with?
Oh well, it’s still better than her partner’s self-styled arch-nemesis, The Desperate Housewitch.
I think she had the name from the beginning. It just wasn’t used until now, to the point that it became a joke. Eva had been told the name previously, at the time of the joke. She just didn’t remember.
Or she forgot her own name.
The fulsome foursome?
Nah, man. A threesome is kinky enough.
A name is nothing without a classy musical intro, orchestral like batman tas, electric like spider-man or just abysmal like teen titans go!
Either way defenders you need to head to the fox-studio and make yourself a new theme track!
