Oh come on! If this were a literal cliffhanger the guy’s arms would stretching to the point that he can let go and not worry about damage from the fall!
Maybe we’ll find out in a few months, looks like we have a few dozen more filler panels before we get anywhere

Looks like that could be another glue bomb Ethan’s about to throw at Elijah. Too bad there’s no way it’ll reach him in time. Come on, Gameboy, pause him…
Lucas can modify the width and length of his arrows, right ? So how about he spawns long, thin arrows right infront of Gameboy, facing Elijah so he gets kebabed ?
Lucas isn’t a killer, so what about an oblique arrow forming a ramp up, so that Elijah can yeet himself towards the wall while missing Gameboy?

Tim. No… Tim, don’t do it! I know what I would do, and that is beyond cruel.
Okay… what I would do is…
At least there is that other hero!!
Gameboy pauses speedster’s foot, slowing him from accelerating to lethal speed. As Analog tries to throw his glue bomb, the Troll would shove him over the railing as D-Pad struggles with the third villain. Gameboy now has a choice, save a hero he looks up to or die.
If Ethan would be falling into the vat, how would GameBoy be able to save him?
Also the third villain (if you mean the guy with the hacking glove… Blackhat?) seems to have ran away. With a remote, but as long as the tank is paused, that’s not very relevant (and also he was in it for the money, so might have decided to cut his losses and just leave).
I don’t know how people can come up with ideas like pausing his leg as a viable solution. How do you propose to touch a speedster before they touch you? Not only that, touching him on a more difficult to reach part? I know this is a fantasy comic, but there’s fantasy and there’s fantasy.

I wonder, does Elijah also have super-perception, so he sees time slower than everyone else, or is he just faster. I think he is just faster, otherwise the first glue bomb would not have disabled him. So, sticking (hehehe) to that logic, he would not be able to dodge a sudden, very solid obstacle if he is not aware of it soon enough, and would go splat. So, a bit of organ and bone splinter shower for gameboy, but no dead kid.
Wasn’t he zipping back and forth between tagging a wall and chatting with Ethan and Lucas in his first appearance? That’s not something a speedster could do without some amount of super-perception.
Usually does come with some level of perception (while speeding), that’s pretty much a requirement for the power to be functional. Same with resisting the usual consequences of such rapid accel- and deceleration.
You’re correct that Elijah probably should’ve been able to dodge the glue bomb, or even just should’ve been too fast for the bomb to land. It’s one of the ways speedster powers are simply overpowered.
There’s basically nothing that should realistically be able to hit a speedster with consistent power levels. The only thing really stopping them is writers toning their powers down in critical moments.

If he Pauses just a foot and Elijah launches himself at full speed he’s going to rip his foot right off.
Either Elijah pulls out of the shoe with minimal resistance and continues the body-slam, or it’s the same foot-ripping issue but with a severed and un-paused foot.
Gameboy is gonna pause Elijah, and the pause is gonna cause his insides to turn to Jelly.
Thus starting the villain arc of “GameBoy Advance”, recruiting Blackhat under his new alias of “Virtual Boy” they track down and end the Troll once and for all.

Well…this is how we find out if Ethan’s power still works, because he just forgot about the threat at his back in his concern about Gameboy, and as he throws the glue bomb to save him, the Troll is gonna chuck him into the vat while Lucas and Gameboy watch in horror.

Do we know if Elijah needs to go full speed all the time? All he has to do is knock GB out, not necessarily kill him.

Just pause his eyes, or his fingers, or genitals… that should motivate the dude to stop.

Ethan pushes Gameboy out of the way. Gets splattered a la The Boys. Long pause for dramatic effect. Respawns.

Hmm, or maybe Lucas is about to spawn an arrow right in front of Gameboy for Elijah to slam into. SPLAT
Lucas can modify the width and length of his arrows, right ? So how about he spawns long, thin arrows right infront of Gameboy, facing Elijah so he gets kebabed ?
Because Lucas isnt the sort of person to willingly take a life, even if taking that life would put down a violent serial killer.
Otherwise he can absolutely just use an arrow to kill someone – thats how they discovered Ethan can respawn afterall.
Well, if the life is about to take the life of a child, I say, kebab away.
More likely is Analog throws a glue bomb and gets dunked by Troll and then D-pad kebabs him back (as he last did when ZK snapped Ethan’s neck).
Lucas isn’t a killer, so what about an oblique arrow forming a ramp up, so that Elijah can yeet himself towards the wall while missing Gameboy?

Does Sam even know Analog’s power may or may not be on the fritz? Ethan’s whole power is basically just “doesn’t need to be saved.”

Yeah, he knows. They talked about it.
If he pauses just the foot, wouldn’t it horrendously rip off??
Some real trauma coming up!

Or just detach a leg with a well placed arrow. Idk, something disabling.

Maybe just pause the shoe then. 🤔

HOW!? How will he pause the foot of a speedster before the speedster touches him?
How would Ethan even know how Gameboys power really works?
I’d assume that Gameboy himself telling Ethan about his power might have had something to do with that.
Gameboy explained it to him a while back
