Ok, this has to be one of the weirdest bad guys I've ever faced. There is a guy out there, a dwarf, walking around in a suit of doll-shaped power armor. He literally turns people into dolls. Let me restate. He kills people by turning them into dolls. He turned his mother into a doll. Fuckin creepy.
Thankfully though, this guys trail of doll-bodies led us to the Joker Boys hideout in Gotham, and we were able to catch a few of them, and blow up one of the Joker's Joker Bots. They were hiding in a mostly abandoned building in Gotham, using some of Darkseid's technology that was stolen to do, something. We aren't sure what. We are going to have to dig it out after the Joker bomb blew up, and brought the building down of top of the device.
Remember before I talked about the Alpha Wave, that gave me my powers? Well the Alpha wave was the "good" energy. When the Alpha Wave went out, there had to be a corresponding Omega Wave. Omega energy is what Darkseid uses. Both of these waves passed through the Earth, leaving behind people with powers. For some reason, the Omega wave is lingering. We theorized it may be happening because of all the Apokolyption technology on our planet. We think that one of those pieces is either naturally keeping the energy around, or has been configured to do so. Which is causing a lot of people to get superpowers. Unfortunately, the Omega Wave makes more villains then it does heroes, as that kinda of energy focuses on and intensifies the uglier emotions.
So when we followed the breadcrumbs that Dollhouse left us, we found the Joker Boys hideout. They had a bunch of people there: the Joker (turned out to be a robot that blew up), Harley Quinn (got away), Hedy Hunter (captured), Poker Face (got away), new guy, kinda reminds me of Clayface. He grows, and shapeshifts, and turned himself into a ball and was literally rolling over people, Punch Line (got away) a strong man who punches things real hard, and doesn't seem to move all that much. I'm going to have hit him really hard one of these times, and see if I can move him, Dollhouse (captured) the freak above, and several Joker Boys (all captured). Batgirl showed up to help, and did good job. So, not a bad days work. We captured several bad guys, and think we found one of the devices interacting with the Omega Wave. We just have to dig it out again.
One another note, two of my amazon sisters died keeping the peace in Metropolis. I offered to bring them back home, to Paradise Island. As I did, I had time to reflect. I was unfair to Batwoman. Like my fallen sisters, Octave chose to be a hero. She chose not to hide from her sister, and to still be out there doing good. I should not disrespect her choices and actions by assigning blame to others for her choices. Should Batwoman have contacted us sooner, probably. But the blame for Octave's kidnapping lies only with her sister, and with Octave's own choices. She made the right choice, a warriors choice. As did my sisters. Goddess grant it works out better for Octave.
And....We're Back!
It's been about a month since I've written anything here. With everything going on, I've been really busy out there, helping people, defending Metropolis, helping rebuild all over, that my experiences lately have been kind of monotonous. Until lately. My sisters, the Amazons, have joined the fight. They are also helping to defend Metropolis, which seems to have this massive meta-gang problem. Where did all these people come from, and why do they seem to think its a good idea that they just take over? Do they really think they can get away with it? I mean, they know people are going to come for them, eventually. In the short term, sure, maybe you get away with it, for a while, but in the long term? Are people just thinking everything civilized has gone away? Maybe in some parts of the world, but not here. So, the Amazons have taken the field, and they really don't get the concept of "peace keeping". We are warriors, we fight wars. And, even my mother has taken the field to help. My mother, the supervillain. She has been a warrior for, what 3000 years? She is so skilled, its hard to believe. She is keeping Amazon casualties down, and making sure that we win most of the battles. She is also (the catch) recruiting. She is rallying what Amazons she can to her banner, and while she is fighting a war, she looks good. We spoke after one particularly vicious battle recently. She wants me to forgive her, and go with her, be part of whatever she is going to do after this is over. I can't. When I was very young, she made it clear that I wasn't important to her, because I had no powers. She only has been interested in me lately because, a) I've been hanging out with Wonder Woman, and b) finally have powers. That kinda thing is hard to forget. She points out that we both are the better part of immortal, we won't get sick, we don't age. We can die in combat, but that is about all. She plans to out wait me.
Gosh, I'm rambling. Other things going on. Octive, my teammate, has been kidnapped by her demented sister. And thanks to Batwoman, we didn't find out until about 2 days later. Since her sister has a space ship, we really have nothing to do. We could go and look for her, personally, but where do we start? We alerted the Green Lantern Corps, as they were after her sister anyway, and I gave Lobo a call. He already has a bounty on the Renegades, and he has a separate bounty on Octave, so I figured if I told him, he would make this a priority. And, I asked him to call me if he found them. So, yeah, if he does find them, my team will probably have to fight Lobo again. And, he knows that we will probably try to get her back, and he'll still call us anyway. Cause he's crazy like that.
Remember I mentioned the Outsiders a couple months back? How they went on a really dangerous mission, and never came back? Well, one of them did! Skyline is back. She's a cyborg, with some Kryptonian thrown in there. I guess she's a tech wiz. Anyway, she said the Outsiders survived what they did, and where on the way back, when they got separated, and thrown into different dimensions. To her sense of time, she's been gone about 20 years. People say she's changed. I didn't know her back then. She's attractive, but I'm still with Junior Supes. And, she'll be joining the Birds of Prey! With Octave out, we need another field operator. I don't know how she fights, but we'll find out. The Birds got together recently. We are going to start team operations again. No, I'm not going to say what we are doing, cause anyone can read this, but these blog posts will be starting up again.
Be safe people, and hey, if you are in the Metropolis area, and need help, stop by the Amazonian Embassy, or the JLA headquarters. There are always people around to look out for people there. Here is a link to other places you can go, in the Metropolis area.
Cya!
