Grrl Power #1115 – Now you’re… looking at portals?
Here we go with yet another year, everyone writing the wrong date on their checks. I can’t actually recall the last time I wrote a check though. Probably for some home repair. Contractors really like checks for some reason. I legitimately can’t recall the last time I used cash though. I think I’ve had the same bills in my wallet for around 7 years.
I know I complained about forgetting Varia’s accent under the last page, but when I do remember, in my head she sounds like JFK from Clone High. Only female.
“What’s-er-ah, your-ah, eer-ah, pooooint?”
Vision based on radio waves seems like it would be terrible. They’re on the opposite side of the EM spectrum from X-Rays, so logically it seems like you’d be blind if you were surrounded by dense air. Radio waves are don’t penetrate solid matter very well, but they’re fairly bouncy, so I guess RW-vision would make for fairly even “gray” vision. But it probably wouldn’t work well indoors unless you walked around with a ham radio strapped to your chest.
Fortunately, Varia got RW-vision on top of regular visible light-vision. She’s gotten pretty good at discerning peculiar powers. She has more experience with superpowers than anyone else in the world as far as anyone knows.
I know what you’re thinking, though. “Isn’t Varia the one who gets the powers?” It’s a good question. One that possibly gets asked on the next page?

DaveB: “in my head she sounds like JFK from Clone High. Only female.”
I always had thought her voice would either sound like a female Mark Wahlberg or a female Sam Adams beer commercial’s “Your Cousin From Boston” :).
Soooo, Varia got the power to grant someone she is touching with portal generating eye beams?
Maybe wait until Thursday when that will be addressed, per WOG
“asked” =/= “addressed”
Well it would certainly facilitate evacuating the prisoners. Along with one Harem, so she can keep track of them.
alternate, he had a power but it was not one he could very well control, or maybe even be aware of as he’s never had a need to use it. and Varia acted to focus or guide this power? magical or super being up for debate.
Yep, that’s my guess too.
Sydney’s conditioning of the Daphne’s kept her from *VORP*ing away in panic :D
Not sure if that is a good thing or not…
“Hello, and again, welcome to the Aperture Science Enrichment Center. We are currently experiencing technical difficulties due to circumstances of potentially apocalyptic significance beyond our control.”
So…what happens if Varia touches TWO people? Does she get both powers? Just the first one? Just the second one? Or a totally new power?
Death Toll has a similar power, getting one power depending on who he interacts with, and it kinda looks like he can control which power he gets – he was able to his Jiggawatt counter against Stalwart, and his Dabbler counter while Hiro was jumping for him. Either that, or it’s just the first one.
It’s plausible that Varia works similarly.
Heh. The guy asking “kilograms?” is what really seels this is set in the Us of A :P
That is what sells it? Not the fact they are part of the US Military? Or that Obama is their president? Or that they are somewhere in Texas? o_O
The real question is “Why not kilograms ?”
Even the USA uses metrics for anything critical – including all aircraft, power generation, and military. Its either ignorance or an intentional joke at US civilian thinking.
Oh my god… It’s full of doors!
It is now 1820 on Wensday. I am still seeing the last comic from Monday. Failure of reload page button I am assuming.
Doesn’t change until Thursday!
My man is really going to say “I was in the drug smuggling business” in front of the super-police?
Why not? Emphasis on was, as in, he is no longer doing that shit (he moved onto people)
Most crimes are technically in the past. That doesn’t typically deter us from prosecuting people for them.
Even f he already served his time? Or turned his life around and became a Sponsor or a Big Brother
And you missed the joke about him moving on from smuggling drugs to people
We’re going to Japan? If I had portal eyes Japan is the first destination I’d check. Not only because of personal interests. It’s also far away, and relatively small. Both good points for generating a baseline. Then I’d buy some doujins, and I guess go to a maid cafe or something.
I must be misremembering things because I was sure that it was already established that Varia generates a power for herself and the person she is in contact with, just not necessarily the same power.
No, the person she is in contact with just gets some necessary immunities to the power they grant Varia.
And the person giving Vahriah the powah may not have any for themselves normally
Varia is the one who gains these powers.
making them a more viable option for everyday use.
