Thank you so much for the support! You guys and grrls are awesome!

When Mt. Atrocitous was just a little butte going to Elementalry School, he got called "bismuth brain." Also "pepto," because apparently Pepto Bismol has bismuth subsalicylate in it? That's why it's called Pepto Bismol, I guess? In fact most generic Pepto is just called Bismuth Subsalicylate, or Pink Bismuth. I never thought about what's actually in the stuff.

Anyway, they were all, "Hah, hah! Your brain is an antacid," or "Meatsacks lick your brain when their poop isn't viscous enough!" Or possibly, "Your brain is colorful!" Geomorphs can be cruel, and not always terribly creative when it comes to insults. Presumably their brains were formed from something else. Possibly Hoppered Galena or Fenster Quartz. 

Maxima has destroyed a significant portion of a mountain once before, in her first fight with Darude. That does depend on how you define "mountain." I'm sure cartographers and geologist might argue that point, but Max insists it was a (very small) mountain, and not a rather tall hill. It turned out to be a poor decision, tactically, because she would up freeing a bunch of granulated rock for Darude to add to his storm of sand. Or as one might say, his Sandstorm.

That's peak performance...

Now we start to see "Alien Governments getting Nervous".

Good ol' bismuth brain if he doesn't surrender he will make a lot of antacids

Michael Obert

The bigger they are, yadda yadda yadda . . .

I love how this hammers that throughout the comic Maxima has basically been a paragon of restraint. She could have literally atomized Vehemence or Sciona at any point, but tried to capture them throughout. Her main weakness is that she can't do everything at once and can be forced to put her power in defense rather than offense, like with Vehemence and Supermassive.

Randall Wald

This really raises the question: before combat, is each fighter given a briefing on what constitutes "lethal" damage for each opponent (or whether they're sufficiently mindless where killing them is OK)? I don't see how else Maxima would know exactly where the brain was, to expose it without damaging it.

Town Crier

The Acme company is calling. They are reminding Max, that this is a galactically televised event, so no going, "Beep-beep!", and then sticking out your tongue, or ... else.

Don Satow

I bet that guy who challenged max earlier is thinking "Cool. I challenged that fighter and almost had her."

Cha0sniper

Don' worry, jus' git one o da boyz ta fix 'im rite up, bettah den new!

TrixieTurner

Despite her best efforts maxima still has negative aura.

Raymond Dannelly

I'm guessing she didn't know. Just went 'hey, that looks important. Let's try threatening it.'

Orlet Soir

She herself said, after the first fight with Vehemence, in the parking lot, that she could no longer out-strength him in the end, which is why it took team effort (and super-ADHD-powered thinking by Halo) to take him down.

Richard Riley

ACME is "Meep-meep." Beep-beep was Babylon 5.

Hugh Eckert

First there is a mountain, then there is no mountain, then there is.

Otoger

so my theory why Super power Fights take so long is cause especially the heroes don't want to kill so they need to punch their way up to the enemy's Toughness, which also explains why a big evil gets more manageable the next fight (looking at spider man especially) since a Normal heavy punch would turn a base human to mush

BoingDragon

How long did it take to get that bismuth color effect right?

Alysandir

Love the Celtic pattern on the blade!

Bob Ellis

Power is no excuse for neglecting style. Of course, decoration is appropriate.

Town Crier

You are correct, sir.

Tim Starliper

"Grand Mal sword" She does have a way with words, doesn't she?

eddi_TBH

Brain surgery.

Eric Loken

I thought she was draining a bit of magic straight out of his core, which would be pretty much like life drain on regular folk, and probably not feel good in any case.

Eric Loken

That would be my guess. Hm, what happens if I poke this? Oh! Well, that is good to know.
