	So, is she morphing her body or using a holographic projection to disguise herself here? And is she supposed to be impersonating Deathstroke? (Reply to this)

	Holo-disguise, and yes she mimics Deathstroke. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent)

I think that it's described as a techno-psionic disguise in the comic itself, as it's actually tactile as opposed to being just light in the shape of Deathstroke.

Amusingly, the operation that required Vera disguising herself as Slade involved getting him out of the way by shutting him away in a five-star hotel somewhere with lots of booze and hookers, and think if the rest of the Justice League had known it was that easy then Identity Crisis would have gone a whole lot different.

Unless Dr. Light then pays Slade in booze and hookers.

	I know this is a joke (and perhaps a pop culture reference), but that doesn't make use of derogatory language for sex workers any more welcome on scans_daily. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent)

	"Rest In P" ... wow... writers back in the 00s were really as mature as the writers for Ren & Stimpy? (Reply to this)

	To be fair the guy was an enormous asshole, who mindcontrolled others into joining his super team and stuck an alien swarm onto the first Menagerie with a hot glue gun, amongst other things, so it's not exactly like the guy was particularly well liked. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent)
