Echoes of the Multiverse

As for Aislinn, that's an interesting wrinkle with the personality flip with the power. One wonders if they targeted a regenerator or otherwise superhumanly hale & healthy hero, one who could survive the draining process for an extended period, if maybe some of the personality changes could loc...

Aislinn https://photos.smugmug.com/My-First-Gallery/i-zq3dWp7/0/17396797/M/300x-M.jpg While all of the ASIs active on Earth have employed androids for certain tasks, Savitor, the youngest of them, is the one who both employs them the most often and also manufactures most of those used by the others...

-Unusually, Guardians features a DIFFERENT character named Zeldia- this one is a buxom, blue-haired angel with blue wings and a blue outfit to match. She wields Wolverine-style claws on gauntlets and shoots a lot of blue energy. Interstingly, this may actually be a continuity thing. In Zeldia's end...

For Dr. Petrie -- do the mysteriously referenced upstate facility, and the markings on her head, have anything to do with a certain polymath bronze doctor? Or am I completely barking up the wrong tree? That's one of the references, but whether whatever brain surgery was done to her involved a rever...

It's what happens when your consciousness is patterned on a group whose members achieved their positions through ruthless opportunism and exploitation.

I'm pretty sure that Opal City is meant to be an ersatz Seattle (real world nickname: the Emerald City.) I'd be tempted to identify Hub City with Portland, as the latter is also the inspiration for Sin City. But Atlanta might also work. Edit: It seems that there are several American cities that are ...
