We're VERY grateful for the contributions of William Adams, AKA "Dr. Destruction" of PILLARS OF FAITH, to the conception, brainstorming, and final product.
While the others try their best to keep Green Avenger from beating herself up, Lorelei attempts to knock some sense into Lightbringer.
I love Lightbringer's cheek rub. Sure, that smack with Mindmistress' metal fist looks like it hurts, but you can tell from his face that it's his pride that aches the most.
Poor Lightbringer. Still being used as the butt end of the humor.
With MM/Lorelei, I get to have my cake and eat it too. Sometimes they clearly have different feelings and different aims, like when MM lectured Lorelei via videotape about an autistic boy Lorelei really liked. But it's really like the difference between me-sober and me-while-drunk. Lorelei is a little closer to her feelings, but they're still basically the same feelings.
The way LB assumed that MM was "controlling" sweet, innocent Lorelei would have ticked Lorelei off no end. Lorelei is the one who decides to use the locket. MM cannot stay MM indefinitely, but Lorelei can stay Lorelei forever. She's also big on assuming responsibility, the way she's proud of living and working on her own, the way she lectured an old acquaintance who was using his own mental handicap to try to excuse a crime. Maybe the blow was over-the-top...but LB was clearly not hearing what Lorelei was trying to say, and sometimes the only way to get a mule's attention is hit them with a two-by-four. She WANTED to really like LB, since he's the closest to the "classic" hero mold of ANY of the original group. She feels he's being condescended to, though, and she can't STAND that.
wow, I dont think I ever saw Lorelei rip roaring ticked off like that to where she would strike someone! I could be wrong but im pretty sure I'm not, it's usally MM that does the butt kicking.
I agree with her tho, just because she's mentally challenged dont mean she doesnt understand whats going on, shes not that challenged. Of course there are some that are a lot worse than Lorelei....
Mr. high and mighty got knocked down a few pegs and finds out that once in a great while you must take drastic measures to protect the innocent. But that's a very rare case indeed when you have to go to the extreme of killing.
