Re: Star Power VI: Shooting Stars (VORP VORP VORP)
Did anyone catch where the flash clones are "reproduced from host material"? I think we found our lost slaves! Although why anyone would use intelligent beings as raw material instead of say, algae or cornflakes or something is beyond me.
Perhaps that is why cloned star power is evil! The amino acids she is made of are haunted!"The error is to be human"

Re: Star Power VI: Shooting Stars (VORP VORP VORP)
Nice catch. I keep forgetting Garth is an competent artist and it's worth looking at the art. There are definitely multiple Karinas, otherwise he wouldn't make her change costume so quickly.
Maybe the different Karinas teach each other and share knowledge for a seamless change? Each year there is a new one that rises through the ranks until she becomes the senior Karina and then dies.
I think the music education is not the problematic part. A flash clone needs to learn a lot of basic human stuff like body coordination, recognition of face and body language, acting in social situations, controlling emotions and so on. A lot that is subconsciously build up in the first 14 or 16 years. That needs to be crammed into their minds in a few weeks or months before they can start a higher education and be thought singing or something else. If you cram it into you define their personality and that is basically brain washing.

Re: Star Power VI: Shooting Stars (VORP VORP VORP)
Superman had years of comics, multiple writers, reboots and rewrites.
Star-Power had total of five story arcs, and one of them was to give her a power upgrade.
In addition to that, Superman rarely had problems with his strength, his struggle against normal humans was mostly due to some technology or power that played against him, or limiting his own strength to avoid killing.
Danica's clone does not seem to care about anything, and she's just choking a normal human with nothing to stop her.
The only excuse I got is that her powers are slowly created so the clone will get to the "good stuff" in a minute, or that she is experimenting with what she can do so she will be able to replicate when she sees Danica doing the same thing.

Re: Star Power VI: Shooting Stars (VORP VORP VORP)
Hm, maybe Clonica is sadistic...? She is pulling her close for a look too, so maybe there's something else going on there. Too soon to tell, really.
It sounds less cloning and more overwriting- and a human has 100% of what a human needs. This also explains why the result is not always 'perfect'.Playing Terae Leaf, Shadow Puppets campaign IC / OOC/char sheet

Re: Star Power VI: Shooting Stars (VORP VORP VORP)
IMO "why not all clones are exactly the same" is one point I don't need explained.
Even if they are perfect clones, they are still humans and they might have slightly different levels of skill (even if they can only be detected by someone wit PERFECT hearing).
And even if the programming was identical to all clones with perfect results, there is still time between them being initiates and singers, so there are all sorts of variables that can make small differences.

Re: Star Power VI: Shooting Stars (VORP VORP VORP)
I'll admit, that was a decent punchline. I chuckled a bit.

Re: Star Power VI: Shooting Stars (VORP VORP VORP)
I don't know... I can't say it worked especially well for me and I'm mostly confused because I can't remember why Burke slurs his words like this / if he did so before.

Re: Star Power VI: Shooting Stars (VORP VORP VORP)
Place your bets!
Who is going to be the character that punches Hymn with a snarky line (as in... punchline...)?
Will it be Brightman, with a "relationship is over" line?
Will it be Burke with a drunken comment about ruining his life?
Or will it be Danica because no one else is supposed to have fun?

Re: Star Power VI: Shooting Stars (VORP VORP VORP)
Just to take the unlikely bet I'll take clone bro with 'that's for my clone buddy!' or maybe chief makes it in time...

This has been a really long walk just to get to a “villain makes evil clone of hero” plot.

Clonica: "Burn the heretic! Kill the mutant! Purge the unclean!"
Finally, I understand her motivation. She is in fact an Angry Marine.""Jeez, this dress! i look like a dominatrix""
(self-loathing): ""Actually , you look like a sorceress or something""
""Hey, no need to get cruel""

Re: Star Power VI: Shooting Stars (VORP VORP VORP)
And now we see the reason why this entire arc has been written: Mookie came up with a pun.

Re: Star Power VI: Shooting Stars (VORP VORP VORP)
I'm just wondering if all flash clones can turn their teeth into fangs or if it's a Starpower thing.
Please, anyone, subvert something in this arc.

Re: Star Power VI: Shooting Stars (VORP VORP VORP)
Didn't we meet already several alien races designed just to prove that being scary looking, or having big sharp teeth, didn't equal evil? What the point of giving Clonica a demonic face now?

Re: Star Power VI: Shooting Stars (VORP VORP VORP)
Poor Mookie.
He has about five plots at the same time, we're already in the fifth issue, and he needs time to wrap all things up.
He has to make clone Danica EVIL for the climax, so we won't feel conflicted about Danica beating up what is basically a child in a body of an adult, but there just isn't time to do it in a good pace.
So...
Make her eyes red? Not good enough.
Choke Brightman? It's still possible the clone is just confused.
So all that is left is a shouting computer and pointy teeth.

Re: Star Power VI: Shooting Stars (VORP VORP VORP)
Is there any point for Hymn to start killing the clones, besides to proof how much of an ******* he is?
There is a serious crisis, one which can potentially destroy everything he has built. Now is not the moment to get rid of your current assets.""Jeez, this dress! i look like a dominatrix""

Re: Star Power VI: Shooting Stars (VORP VORP VORP)
This is swiftly degrading into Plan 9 From Outer Space levels of bad. Every new page just adds to the chaos and confusion.
