Not exactly the enemy, but not someone you want to find too much about you when you’re an unregistered ( or are they? they worked closely with the police for the last capture) superhero.
When they met Captain Prime, she mentioned vigilante laws (which I’m assuming work similarly to real-life Good Samaritan laws) that will protect them up to a certain degree of collateral damage (or wanton murder, in Deathblood’s case).
The registered superheroes seem to be assigned duties directly by the government.
I don’t know about that. Good Samaritan laws tend to be there to protect the Good Samaritan from liability. For instance, if you pushed someone out of the way of a speeding bus, but the person you pushed took a tumble and twisted or broke an ankle, they can’t be an asshole about it and sue the person who saved their life for the ankle injury. Vigilantes (outside action and superhero movies) are usually viewed as rogues taking the law into their own hands. Vigilante laws tend to instead be negative; either explicit legal penalties or at least removing legal… Read more »
Eugene specifically wielded their status as Unregistered heroes as blackmail. Threatening to leak such information to the authorities and certain supervillains who like to experiment on unregistered heroes. Essentially destroying any chance to a regular life with some vigilantism.

The guy’s face looked familiar. Pretty sure that officer was already on some old page
I did some searching… don’t think we’ve seen him before. I suppose “don’t date law enforcement when you’re an unregistered superhero” is good advice, although I thought he usually held his cool better than this. Seems more like an Ethan reaction to me!
and they own a gun, which is always more dangerous when domestic violence is involved.

The cop didn’t seem to be reacting normally. I mean, when someone reacts the way Lucas did, they are with would show reflexive concern at least… not ‘slightly more open eyes’, that is the reaction of someone who just confirmed something
Honestly – as a cop I’m sure he’s gotten that reaction before. Probably disappointingly unsurprising and one of those “Whelp. Judging by your reaction, this isn’t going anywhere. Have a nice night.”
Lilah has a different roommate, we met her in the bit when Lilah was chasing the story on Captain Prime vs. Dr Eldritch and she got slimed on the roof for her troubles.

In hindsight, he does look like a cop…But I really did not see that coming. Fantastic storytelling.

So, you both probably already know each other…
Not exactly the enemy, but not someone you want to find too much about you when you’re an unregistered ( or are they? they worked closely with the police for the last capture) superhero.
Aren’t they registered tho?
No. If they were, they’d have no need to run a small business.

Should of known with that mustache.
Also that strongly defined ‘superhero’ jawline.
Colloquially known as Copstash
Should have*
Should’ve is actually more correct.
Should’ve is a contraction of “should have,” so no, it’s not more correct.
“Ah I shouldn’t’ve said that”
*You*ere
I’m gonna be that guy for a second:
Should HAVE, not should OF.
I did some searching… don’t think we’ve seen him before. I suppose “don’t date law enforcement when you’re an unregistered superhero” is good advice, although I thought he usually held his cool better than this. Seems more like an Ethan reaction to me!
I think “don’t date law enforcement” is generally good advice. Highest rate of domestic violence by profession.

he’s got a cool cop chill attitude.

Give the dude one more panel to react.
His eyes doubled in size, leaving the whites visible on all sides. Plus he’s clearly reaching for his gun.
No acorns in sight, I don’t think we need to worry about his gun…though he may yell “I’m hit” soon enough.
Could this be Deathblood?
What’s opd?
Yeah you know me!
Omnitropolis Police Department, I assume..
Omnitropolis Police Department (I assume), same as NYPD for New York and GCPD for Gotham City police.
Smooth move Slick. And I thought Ethan was the bumbling one. 😉
“am I in trouble?”
Gonna be fun to see him and Ethan get into “Which is the worse idea – dating a cop, or dating a reporter?”
Here’s hoping that Ben and Lilah end up actually being brother and sister as well. Or at least roommates…
Lilah has a different roommate, we met her in the bit when Lilah was chasing the story on Captain Prime vs. Dr Eldritch and she got slimed on the roof for her troubles.

Neither did Lucas.
Well duh, had to be police officer or firefighter with that stache.
Well there’s one other possible profession with a stache like that…
I hope for Lucas’s sake there are no acorn-dropping trees outside when they go to leave.
Why? 😮

ACAB though. Run away Lucas, there might be an acorn around
Yup. Dont trust the police, they’re officially NOT here to help you.
Thus the plot thickens! Lol
