I was going to suggest “Minuteman”, but there’s actually already a DC hero called Minuteman. Or rather, three DC heroes called Minuteman, one of which is also Batman. And three teams.
Why when he was a baby? Basil Karlo didn’t fall into a vat of wonder drug until he was like in his forties or something. I mean, yeah, he turned evil, but can you blame him?
In Marvel, there was a drug made from Mutant bone marrow that gave normies temporary powers, but could have dangerous side effects as it wore off, it also took advantage of poor mutants, who had to donate under excruciatingly painful back ally conditions. Some could also get infections from dirty equipment, or end up selling too much marrow, causing anemia.
Not really. Entrapment is when the police entice you to commit a crime you would not otherwise have committed (e.g. Posing as a dealer and selling you drugs then arresting you for possession) in this case the accused already had possession of the illegal substance they just had to convince him to pull it out to provide reasonable cause to search him for more (as legally once a drug has been taken a person cannot be charged with possession.)
While not necessary entrapment, the defendent could argue that he used a substance to help or save a life, a good lawyer would argue given the situation, and that she was found by chance in an isolated area. that the defendent was obliged under a duty of care to act and did what he felt was best.
So a mitigating factor like that could help him escape a sentence, under the right media spotlight this would turn him into a victim of a setup for only doing the right thing.
Not that straight forward but he didn’t use the substance to commit a crime so that’s in his favour.
Good luck it’s a three piece comic issue why I’m i giving this much thought to it!!!
in a city like this, what exactly is classified as legal and illegal anymore? if a special drug that gives temporary superpowers is illegal, what else would be….?
He should have just fallen into a vat of wonder drug when he was a baby.
Oh, my, you really had the gaul to make that comparison?
This comment-system really needs a “like” button, if only for these two comments :D
The pun, especially :)
I think this is more an Hourman Rex Tyler type.

“Secondman” is just lame.
Almost as lake as Week man!

Because it is a reference to Obelix from the Asterix comics?
No. This is a reference to Batman villain Clayface. Specifically, Clayface I, Basil Karlo, yesterday’s star of the silver screen.
The comment thread made the Asterix reference.
Still, I don’t think there’s any necessary age for falling into a vat of wonder drug.
Correct. Thisguy was referring Obelix’s origin, while BrokenEye was referring to a Batman villain.
Did they arrest him AFTER he drank the Wonder Drug? That seems potentially ill-advised.
How do they know that his “Wonder Drug” is illegal? Have they made a sweeping g ban of all non-approved chemicals?

Well, officer trapped wasn’t going to rescue herself, was she?
US Police is allowed to trick you into comitting a crime to some degree. Faking to be stuck under a tree could just be within that.
The cop is also a super.
ENTRAPMENT!
Exactly what I was about to say. Let’s hope he finds a good lawyer. I’ve heard of this blind guy. And then there’s this green chick.
That’s it, as far as I’m aware. There are no other lawyers.
You forgot the partner of the blind lawyer.
The comment system is eating the links, so look for “533-attorneys-at-law” in the archive.
I initially misread that as “attorneys inlaw”
No, that’d be the 2018 BBC drama Split.
There’s also a guy with an avian armor… I think it was something like “Somber Falcon”. I have this Image of him being a nice person…
Angry Aviator? The guy LP witnessed commit a crime with his own two eyes, despite being totally blind!

See Kids this is why you uses a secret Identity!
Why don’t more criminals use secret identities?
Actually it does beg the question why he drinks it so openly.

Where’s a telephone booth when you need one?
Let me guess…his name is Ajax. (Since he looks like the Ajax in Deadpool and gets entrapped by the female cop in the park like The Warrior’s Ajax.)

Elongated Man had it easy. His “wonder drug” was a soft drink.
Seriously, the guy was like a mutant who fueled his powers using SODA!
Homer Simpson used a string of sausages to help him escape a pack of dogs once. By eating the sausages.
GUMMI BERRY JUICE takes on a new meaning. (see Disney’s Gummi Bears)
