->Hahaha, thank you, ''ComicStrip/SpiderMan'', thank you for wrapping up this storyline in the most pointlessly absurd way possible. There’s nothing about this that I don’t adore. I love that the potential dramatic purpose of Mysterio’s [[LatexPerfection double-masking]] is undercut by the strip revealing the truth after only one panel, and I sincerely hope the reasons behind it are [[VoodooShark never discussed or even mentioned]]. I love the fact that the “Dash” Dashell mask is presumably fixed in [[GrumpyBear that glum expression]]. I love that he’s got glasses perched on top of the mask, and that those glasses apparently [[OffModel have transition lenses]]. I love the weird grimace Beck is making as the mask comes off, which is actually the sort of face you’d make if you were wearing a fishbowl full of water over a latex mask.

->Hang on, hang on, hang on…Suzie set all this up from beginning to end under the assumption that she [[ThanatosGambit might die at some point]] and would need some kind of method to get herself brought back to life?

->What this comic tries to do is convince everyone that Scrier is in fact a cult-like organization...[[MesACrowd All of the Scriers dress and look alike]], see, so whenever you saw Scrier appearing to mysteriously travel somewhere, it was really a different guy.

->Then we finally get an actual explanation for why the Federation is working with [[MostDefinitelyNotAVillain our plastic surgery addicted villains]]: The Head-Staplers have the technology to harvest whatever the hell is in the rings, and the Federation doesn't. Since the planet is in Federation territory, a partnership was formed. We also learn that the harvesting will make the planet uninhabitable. And if the Head-Staplers just establish a colony of their own on the planet, it'll take ten years for the rings to begin to take effect. Is it just me, or is this script roughly 90% about plugging up all its own plot holes?

->'''Chris:''' Lex doesn’t even have any reason to not like Clark now. The only thing that made him a bad person was Lionel and Clark [[WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds being to dick to him]] for his whole life. But now he has [[MindWipe NO MEMORY OF ANYTHING]]. He should be a decent guy!\\
