I feel like the idea of your superpowers coming from chemicals that also lowered inhibitions and reduced your cognitive capacity isn't knew.
Putting a fresh spin on an old idea takes more than just dressing it up as an addiction. I wish Wildbow was writing this comic, it would certainly be worth a buy then.
I like that he admits hough, that what he has isn't really an addiction.
My main issue is the villains, doesn't a single one of them think that you know, maybe they should just let the guy dry out, so they can be rid of him? Instead of giving him a reason to go back to using his powers?
There's been different takes on it before - Rex Tyler's Miraclo addiction is a comparison someone made in the last
I'd compare it to Max Damage from Waid's Incorruptible. His power level increased the longer he stayed awake, so at his most powerful, he'd also be suffering the effects of his increasing sleep deprivation.
Founded by girl geeks and members of the slash fandom, scans_daily strives to provide an atmosphere which is LGBTQ-friendly, anti-racist, anti-ableist, woman-friendly and otherwise discrimination and harassment free.
Bottom line: If slash, feminism or anti-oppressive practice makes you react negatively, scans_daily is probably not for you.
