I used to be called Renegade, I used to fool around But I couldn't take Mon El's punishment and had to settle down Now I'm playing it real straight, and yes, I got a mind wipe You might think I'm crazy, but that's just so much hype Because I can tell what's going on...

“I want to Hold Your Hand Hand Hand Hand Hand Hand” by the Beatle of Vygra is a classic song.

Well I've been waiting, waiting here so long But thinking nothing, nothing could go wrong, ooh now I know She has a built-in ability To pass through everything she sees And now it seems I'm falling, falling for her
[Chorus] She seems to have an invisible touch, yeah She reaches in, and grabs right hold of your heart She seems to have an invisible touch, yeah It takes control and slowly tears you apart
Well I don't really know her, I only know her name But when she appears on that scanner You're never quite the same, and now I know She's got something you just can't trust It's something mysterious And now it seems I'm falling, falling for her
[Chorus] She seems to have an invisible touch, yeah She reaches in, and grabs right hold of your heart So does Validus of the Fatal Five Now I'm with her and neither of us is alive.

That issue taught me:-
Not to stockpile horrendous weapon coponents of doom, as they could be activated in ways we don't foresee. Something else useful in our bristling world of weapons of various descriptions.
The importance of cyber security. Look how easily Tharok's brain components bypassed Brainy's security to summon Validus. Something else useful in our world where large national companies compete for phone contracts.
That having a large cast of characters means that you can make one dedded every now and again to boost sales. Even if the character isn't used much, you get a legacy (and a statue for the Hall of Heroes). Just be sure to keep the character dedded. Something else useful in a world where there could be a tendency to bring such a character back in a pointless subplot that goes nowhere, because your artist thought it would be fun.
That Tinya looks rather slinky in an HQ infiltration outfit.

The thought of Lyle and Myla being together forever made Tinya quite tearful. The others were presumably being stoic in the face of Lyle's sacrifice. Or, as Bates indicated, Lyle only really spoke to Tinya.
Looking out for people who feel invisible in their own team is yet another lesson from this story. Always relevant with so many tackling mental health issues.

And I can imagine being a super-hero is not so easy for someone facing mental health issues.

Fortunately, series like Heroes in Crisis offered an instructive, incisive look at such issues.

Convicted murderer Hamida Djandoubi became the last person to meet his end by the “National Razor” after he was executed by the guillotine in 1977. Still, the machine's 189-year reign only officially came to an end in September 1981, when France abolished capital punishment for good.
This was after Star Wars premiered.

This was after Star Wars premiered. Darth Vader managing to get them to keep it for a few more years. It had a stay of execution you might say.

That was the name of a series by Sergio Aragones. I guess it was dialogue free.

How to do things with Words was a book by mid-20th century Oxford philosopher J. L. Austin.
His other most famous book was the wittily titled Sense and Sensibilia.
