So the game Master Give People what they deserve. Interesting idea. And how did everybody's favorite Sim City helper know about this?

Well, Wright was apparently the Dr. Right in Captain N... so wouldn't he have known Kevin?

Or... he could be talking about something else, and we'll find out exactly what whenever we get around to those guys again.
What I'm wondering is, what Alex is intending to do now that he appears to have paralysed Boogerman with pain.

My guess is either meat shield or projectile.

I think it is interesting that Alex said that both Hope and Despair - presumably, the two powers - CORRUPT people, whereas his power does not. It sounds as if both powers are negative even though hope is not generally considered a negative trait to have.

Didn't the Wave of Hope make everything more... shallow? Unrealistic and silly? It may not be actively damaging in the same way as Sorrow, but it still corrupted people. It just corrupted them in the opposite direction- not deep or realistic enough, as opposed to Sorrow, which makes things too deep and realistic.

Weren't most of these characters pretty shallow to begin with?

I love how he punches Boogerman in the nuts, and every male Videogame character seems to feel it.

It made the vegetarian vampire realize that he can do good regardless of his backstory, and it made the talking tomato realize that sometimes what someone ought to do trumps what he is afraid to do. I don't think those outlooks are necessarily too optimistic, or too ideal. I thought a dichotomy between good and evil was being formed in this comic, BUT ALAS!

Except Cecil? I think it has more to do with it affecting every male video game character who DESERVES it.

Except Cecil is paralized.

But Why isn't Rock adn Bass effected than?
Algasir - August 18, 2009 10:57 PM (GMT)
Rock was, from what I can tell.
I doubt Bass would be hurt by such a thing. :P

I wouldn't want to be within miles of Nexus right now. Remember what Boogerman's superpowers are? He hasn't cut one for awhile now, and Alex just hit the proverbial Big Red Button. It's going to be like a nuke hit.

I know that when I get hit in the jewels, I fart.

It almost seems to me that the crotchshot didn't just pain all the males in the multiverse, it also seems to have hit them with some form of karmic backlash, like Haggar's lead pipes being stolen or what's currently happening to Kain and Edward.
... Perhaps the Gamemaster power was what caused the treasure chest to hit Rosa?
... wait no that was the "I am Invincible" line.
