BOOM!
The condition affecting Kingsword, and now we learn every other Alpha level Metahuman, appears to have sinister origins… was it engineered? Also, where’s this inhaler MaX’s chugging on come from? It was first referenced back in issue seven.
Had a nightmare mid-week… I saved over page ten! Akk! Had to re-do it pretty much from scratch. That kinda killed Wednesday’s update. Apologies!
Upvotes on Reddit would be awesome! Thank you!

The Roid Rage is strong in this one.
This Roid head will rage… as you will see…
Son of a bitch
MaX will not be happy about this. One bit.
So that’s how you keep an Alpha-one in line.
It’d be an effective leash at least.
Figures the US gov would be playing with the guys trying to destroy the existing social / political order of the planet.
I think it’s more likely that a successful coup attempt has already been made in the States. Remember, the U.S. superteam is already dead, leaving few people in the government sector around to take notice of subversive elements within the government. It’s not a Presidential election, which means it’s an assassination. Since the woman on the screen is being so evasive, it’s likely she had something to do with it, or else she wouldn’t be dancing around the (probable) fact that the President (and who else?) has been assassinated.
Also, there’s nothing particularly special about the U.S.’s desire for global political dominance, aside from it’s size and relative influence. If we’re using the real-world counterparts to judge by (and your comment indicates we are), Britain’s (that is to say it’s politicians’) desire to “destroy the existing social/political order of the planet” (though it would much more accurately be defined as “warp for it’s own benefit”) is on par with the U.S.’s, it just doesn’t have as much money to throw around.
Hmm, great observations there. I’ll say no more on the matter, lest I reveal anything more.
Things have definitely risen to a global emergency. Coupes in the USA and UK? Any others being replaced?
