Impatient much? I'm not a spriter or huge sprite enthusiast, but I try to give criticism when people ask for it, so...
Most of the criticism I'd give has already been given by the readers in your comments. You need a better program to do this in, because whatever you're using now is giving you horrible grainy compression. Making nicer speech bubbles with curved tails and anti-aliased edges would help.
The main problem from a storyline perspective is that your character seems to have many of the traits of a Gary Stu (male equivalent of the Mary Sue):
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_sue [en.wikipedia.org]
He's so overpowered that there's no tension at all. He breezes through every battle being all super and cool and powerful. The fact that you refer to the character as being 'you' just makes it feel like I'm reading your personal fantasy of being an all-powerful reploid rather than a story about a hero with a personality and flaws and character development. There's nothing wrong with having a powerful character or a character who's based on yourself, but you have to reign it in sometimes for sake of storyline tension and allowing the reader to empathise with a character.
It seems like you update a lot. You should try spending longer getting your pages better quality rather than updating so much. Make your priority quality over quantity.

I think you need better speech bubbles. I like the idea of making the bubbles just change colour depending on who's talking, but make sure you're not using bright colours, 'cause some people can't read brighter colours.
Work on your grammar a wee bit. You sometimes capitalize when not needed and you forgot to add a couple of puncuation marks.

Updates Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday's (depends).
