New Superheroes seen above Chronite City

[Gary Compton]

Are you a Damsel in distress or a Knight wearing a shining armour which has lost its polish?

Fear not as CTG and Gary Compton are patrolling the skies and any troublemakers will be dealt with swiftly.

Remember, we can do what the moderators only dream of

[Karn Maeshalanadae]

Um....alright....

[nixie]

cuckoo

[Mouse]

Are there knights in distress and damsels in shining armour too?

[Vertigo]

I'm sure I could be in distress if you like, but I think any damsels in shining armour would gallop a mile once they saw me

He doesn't seem to frighten Freda at all....

Then again, that spider isn't afraid of anything. Except maybe hot curry now.






Damels in shining armor. Haha. If I were involved, the damsels in shining armor would be the ones to put me into distress. "Here, ye olde beastie, I feed you willingly!"

[Vertigo]

Nah it's the spiders that frighten me - unless they are really big ones then they are kind of cute

[Karn Maeshalanadae]

I actually can't believe anyone is actually afraid of spiders. Most species don't have a bite serious enough to cause so much as discomfort, and most of the more toxic varieties aren't actually deadly to the average person.


Which is not to say that there aren't deadly varieties of spiders. Funnel Web comes to mind, as does the Brazilian Wandering spider, but I wouldn't know of any potentially deadly varieties in the UK.



Here in Oregon we have black widows, brown recluse, and the hobo spider. None are actually necessarily fatal, but the last two can cause some nasty necrosis effects on the skin....

[Mouse]

It's not their bite that scares me. It's their freakish ugliness and insane number of legs! I mean, why all the legs?! *brr*

[Karn Maeshalanadae]

Then you should ask that of the centipede, Mouse. Or better yet, the far creepier, much larger millipede.


A lot of fears are actually misplaced these days. I have to admit that science has done a lot of good for this world in its discoveries.....

[Mouse]

I don't mind centipedes though... they have short legs. If they had lots of long legs then I'd definitely be freaked!

[The Judge]

I'm with you, Mouse. Frankly, if nature has endowed me with a horror of the creatures, I feel it behoves me to play it safe and assume it's a race memory of a time when giant eight-legged arachnids roamed the globe eating all and any humans they could find -- and that the present lot are simply biding their time before they do likewise.

[Karn Maeshalanadae]

Now, now, the world isn't actually like the movie Eight-Legged Freaks.


I've always rather liked spiders, actually. It's water that scares me. I can't swim, and the thought of drowning just freaks me out. It's the most dreaded method of death in my book.....actually, come to think of it, any form of suffocation is.....

[Clansman]

Hey, just read "Shelob's Lair" in LotR. THAT was creepy, at least the first time.

Um, do the "New Superheroes" deal with financial distress?
