    It’s easy to forget sometimes that under all that anal retentiveness and crippling insecurity is a genetically-engineered super-soldier.

      Also, now wondering if superhero hierarchies in this universe are generally decided by who can deliver the best heroic quip.

        In AG-I they probably are.

    In which Sweetheart takes command of an entire hostile superteam by virtue of being the only one who cared enough to show up when the org chart was getting revised, and also by pouncing on them.

    This works, up until the point where Goose Girl realises that Sweetheart isn’t all that heavy.

    Being Goose Girl, this could take a while.

      It’s entirely possible that Goose Girl has been successfully dominated.

        And Sweetheart is only a little smaller than HT, who’s a freaking tiger. She isn’t a lightweight XD

      And the powers of the Canada Goose, which clearly include flight, may also include super-light bone structure, and a clear recognition of predators. (Of course, any Canada Goose I’ve ever known is not remotely scared of anything…

        Neither is HT. Except for Sweetheart!

    RAMPAGE FOR JUSTICE.

      Don’t rampage. Sweetheart’s bad enough at rampages that swapping to a rampage will make her less effective. Call it a sequence of rapid takedowns instead, or another name.

        I’m personally favoring “high-speed paring of the mission’s org chart through violence.”

        Or a a skilled knack for taking effective advantage of bureaucratic heirarchy. (Oooh, lots of syllables!)

        Knocking Goose Girl over and standing on her -was- the rampage, in its entirety.

    Easy to forget Sweetheart was designed (physically) to be a killing machine.

      To paraphrase Eric Flint, as long as we can keep her from thinking, she’s unstoppable.

    Canadian Goose vs Canadian Super Dog. Why does Canada have all the coolest super hero fights in this verse?

    I suppose Cinderblock’s hack was less than effective.

      In the grand order of animals, dogs and cats can agree, never trust a bird.

    People keep forgetting that cute fluffy doggies have less-cute, non-fluffy fangs.

      And that sled dogs are bred to push off their hind legs with a lot of force.
