Subj: Don't tip the waiter if that happens.

    Small point: Didn't Hatman lose his hat-powers once before?


Yes. He was powerless for part of the Technopolis War saga but he got better.


    Quote:
    It won't be any consolation to Hat, but Faite will probably be watching him now to see how he deals with it. What's interesting is, she took special interest in his safety, so if she didn't interfere yet, he's probably safer without the Serious Matter power for some reason.


We'll see.

    He might not want to continue as the leader of the Lair Legion - or maybe he would, just not in the field? But if he wants to remain semi-active, because I don't think he'll be so willing to retire completely, he has quite a few people willing to help re-train him.


I'm not sure how much re-training one needs when one's led the LL through a war, administered a major team of superheroes, conducted diplomatic and military missions at planetary level, and experienced dozens if not hundreds of skillsets vioa the caps one's worn.

But we'll see what becomes of Jay in our very next issue, in which he recieves an offer he can't refuse.



    Quote:
    In an almost creepy example of psychic sense, long ago in a story I either posted or scrapped, Chiaki literally told Hatman that one day someone will find his weakness and he'll be completely defenseless, and therefore needs an additional form of training. She offered it to him as well. The offer is still open. Though he might also rather train with Yuki, since her street-brawler mixed with some martial arts style might be more familiar to him.


I expect Jay's already trained with Yuki. He's also trained with Dark Knight, Jarvis, Lisa, Messenger, Pegasus, Dancer, Epitome, and even Captain America. As a sporting type he's well aware of the need to contantly hone his skills and abilities. As an experienced Legionnaire he's experienced a few times when he's been without caps had had to survive on his physical prowess.

That said, I'd put Jay as a top-end "normal" physical fighter. He could survive a bar of rough-house thugs but not a very-top-league single human combatant - such as a villain who specialises in close-up tactile combat like VelcroVixen.



    Quote:
    Knowing him, he might desire to start immediately, because usually when he's hurt emotionally he's motivated, rather than hiding in the dark to mourn.


I think Jay's not the type to mope. He'd definitely find an outlet for his energies.

    Looking forward to the new LL lineup, and hopefully I guessed at least 2 pictures right (though that doesn't guarantee they'll be the new LL, does it?)


All the people in the pictures are likely candidates subject to poster approval.

    Now back to fixing the HTML auto-repair thing...


That would be good. And if there's anything that can be done about the appalling load time and "page cannot be loaded" rate that would be wonderful.
