Randy Milholland and Superheroes

[Ebony]

This isn't particularly CoH-related, but I found it amusing. Randy Milholland put up this comic today, talking about an unpleasant and possibly unwanted superpower. The punchline really makes it.Ebony the Black Dragon

I remember a story (I think regarding George RR Martin's Wild Cards books) where they had one guy who could teleport any woman in the world into his bed, naked.
What she chose to do at that point was the problem.--

Don't think you'd need that 'truth power' to figure out what she'd do. Poor men...

I saw that one earlier, and laughed my ass off. It's still over there on the floor. Brilliant!

Sorry for the necro, but I stumbled across this post while searching "wild cards" in the forum archive to determine if the Tregillis-Martin paper had already been covered. I'd heard the story of this particular ace-hole before -- the late great John Jos. Miller*, in part of his introduction to the GURPS Wild Cards worldbook**, mentions this guy ("who shall be nameless, but ask any Wild Cards author about him") as one of several characters proposed in the first round of submissions who didn't actually make the nut, so "regarding" is the right word to use. Gardner Dozois and Jack Dann are to blame for him, apparently. Now you know, and knowing, as I've said before and will probably say again except someone stop me first, is half the Mandatory Educational Content segment (TM).

* If I'd heard he was gone, I forgot until seeing him thanked, alongside Sage Walker and Stephen Leigh, in the acknowledgments.
** The reason I got into GURPS, and thus among the bigger reasons I'm on the internet generally and these fora in particular.
