McBell low key being genre savvy enough to not care that there’s supposedly a science reason for things and just calling them powers and magic because it doesn’t matter.
Okay, so the mime is a robot probably maybe. Neat!
I’m kinda wondering if the bad guys’ plan is to get a bunch of combat data with which to sell weaponized clown powers. Kind of a “literalize the commodification of cartoon violence” sort of deal? This comic is both meta enough about superheroes and clowning to maybe go for that, and good enough that I expect the reveal wouldn’t wind up cringey from a reader perspective. (It might look cringey in-universe, but only if it makes for a better joke.)
Also: It turns out “has opinions about its’ own genre” is actually a decent (if not perfect) search criteria for “stories I like”. Huh.
The question “What if there’s been a mole” has been asked twice.
So there’s two things for readers to do:
1) Ask “who might it be?”
2) Ask “what if there’s NOT a mole?”
Whoever heard of mole clowns
Clowns with a mole in their face, maybe
Well, *I* thought she was magically stealing people’s skills

Oh. I’m caught up. Huh. Wasn’t expecting that.
