I'm gonna sit on the train with Badguy here.
Allison is become supervillian right now.
Technically, she didn't threaten to kill him, but merely leave him "in the middle of the ocean", leaving open the possibility of a remote island. Also, consider that this is almost certainly an empty threat- Allison may say such a thing in the heat of the moment, but I doubt she could ever follow through on such a thing.
There's an amusing symmetry here, in that "learning you don't always get what you want" is something that both Max and Allison probably need more of. Though Max is certainly in much more dire need of that lesson. (Allison does have experience with things not going her way, but as she notes herself, her superpower and the privileged societal position it granted her have let her get away with much more than a typical person would.)

Oh I was muddling a metaphor "The road to Hell is paved with good intentions" and she is doing something bad, probably for some greater good.
So. Final guesses on who's getting boosted?
Who went to France?
Wasn't Johnny Temple, the teleporting fashion designer from France?
On a side note, reading the comments, it's not the first time she's threatened to drop someone in the Atlantic.

No, no, the guy on the airplane, who went to work with some scientists.
Pintsize is a good guess, I agree.
Huh. That certainly puts things in more perspective.
Formerly KarmaMeter.What puzzles me about this is that both Max and Alison have tears in their eyes...Max is looking at the fireballs, Alison is looking at whatever's in the foreground.
Max has been kidnapped and harmed by a violent lunatic.
Alison probably feels a bit bad about violating every single moral she's held to, as she should.
No, she's taking her established values and skill set to their logical extreme. She's used to aiding the common good with violence, and now she's fulfilling Gurwara's "the axiom of a tyrant" prediction. I don't see "violating every single moral she's held to" as the case here. She violated one moral principle as a means to satisfying other moral principles.
Formerly KarmaMeter.A commenter helpfully pointed out this past strip. Oh, how far we've come from that first date...
Hey, where there's demand...
Switch FC code: SW-4420-1809-1805So what do you guys think happened?
Guwara Was Right
A commenter pointed out this strip: http://strongfemaleprotagonist.com/issue-3/page-59/
"I know you want to fix it so the day stays saved forever. But it might not shake that way, and until it does, the rest of us got helpin' to do. And guess what? If you do find the one-punch solution to all the world's problems, come here with a bottle of bourbon and a big-ass hamburger, and we'll do your thing instead."
Formerly KarmaMeter.Oh shit.
Yes definitely that.
Starting there and going a bit further on, we get this. O.O
How close they come indeed. So close she did.
New to this comic but giving my two cents, starting with just this chapter, and reading it, she's basically proving her philosophy teacher right.
You are not willing to do the right thing, then I will MAKE you do the right thing.
Thus "a true tyrant"
