Mister Threat

[Sun tzu]

One of the funniest strips so far. Not sure what was better - Carter mocking Threat, or the "I swear, if you're here to commit evil acts for the greater good..." line. Glad to see Carter has, at least, noticed the trend.
Something's bugging me, though...Threat's shot took Lightbringer by complete surprise, right? So...why is he still alive? I don't remember him having auto-shields (then again, coming from Evil Inc., I wouldn't put it past Threat to start with a weak shot to get his enemy's attention because killing him outright would be too anti-climatic...)

Mister Threat's energy beams are actually percussive blasts, so if he fired hard enough he could probably do damage to Lightbringer, otherwise yeah, I consider him old-school villainy who wants to get in a good monologue and let his enemy know who will defeat him.

Of course, because of Lightbringer's taunting, he's going to skip the monologue and just go right with the killing.

I would like to add that this is one of the best beginning of a superhero/villain battle I've seen so far... the details and dialogue fits so perfect in with the elements, and the old-school villany of Mr. Threat is put off the tracks by a welldone taunting...

Kudos!
