"Disarm."

Kaine seems stuck with the Scarlet Spider tag now, since Ben has moved to Chasm, but in-story neither of them particularly love the name. (I also read a recent issue of Amazing where Ben seemingly tries to be helpful, before deciding Peter's problems were stupid and they were both better off without them.) I also thought that maybe gamma bombs might have gone through a redesign or two, to be disarmable in a hurry if needed, since someone had a bad experience with that once. (Do gamma bombs even need any radioactive material to build?)

I would certainly think so otherwise why call it a Gamma Bomb in the first place. That being said, considering how more & more food products don’t actually contain what the label on the packaging says, it’s very possible that modern gamma bombs might not contain actual gamma radiation 🤷‍♂️

I like the part where Dragon Man naively believes the cops won’t shoot at him while he’s carrying a bomb…..lol! You’d be surprised at the amount of cops that still would.

So the Owl needs therapy for his depression it seems. What no D’Spayre appearance? I mean isn’t that his thing? Or does leave fellow super villains alone?

I think he knows well enough to stay away from Kurt or Sat, or else he’ll get another hit of Gwen to the gutters. Maybe once Kurt leaves (or he might have been a mass hallucination and none of that really happened- who knows?)

This has all been pretty civil so far- maybe they’ll all just call it a day and get some ice cream.
