This sounds like a plan Kaff Tagon would come up, if he didn't have a conscience.

Except for the part where they backstab and murder their employers, I could see canon Tagon going for it.

Obligatory link to that time Tagon's Toughs got paid five times for one job. It's always weird going back years in a webcomic and seeing how crap the art used to be.

And now it makes sense why Robo trained with Bruce Lee that one time.

It is common in Atomic Robo.

Safety? Who has time for safety? We have SCIENCE(!) to get to, people! There is progress to be made! [lol]

Hey, I'm re-reading the Ring of Fire and I'm wondering something.

Exactly what did Robo mean when he said "The near extinction of humankind will not play well during election season."?

[up] I'd guess the political backlash from Task Force ULTRA's botched attempt at fighting the Biomega, which (when contrasted with Robo's successful attempt) would help him out of his Majestic-12-cultivated status as a Hero with Bad Publicity.

I think the problem with this arc, as fun as it's been, is that we know Robo wins because it's set in the 40s. So most of the plot is Robo going NYYYEAH THAT'S NOT SCIENCE or some variant therein, and our emotional investment has to therefore rest on Robo's ex and an assortment of "wacky Asians", including her new boyfriend, who most certainly won't die tragically.

Does anyone know what "incorporeal" means?

Turns out "incorporeal" means "not composed of matter." Go figure.

I had a thought. What about Ghost Edison? Is he in a similar state, if less powerful?

Do we get Matsuda and Edison Ghost Teamup?

[up][up]Honestly, although they're both green and glowing and incorporoeal, they're otherwise pretty dissimilar. Edison doesn't have the... expanded viewpoint, and he's a lot more solid-looking, post Zorth axis trap.

And in the end, nothing was accomplished except for the temporary delay of the destruction of all reality.

More importantly, Robo met up with his ex and the Ghost Bandits got like half a fortune.

Not necessarily. They could still be doddering about surrounded by grandchildren like that one Flying She-Devil.

Also, "at some future point all these characters will have expired" applies to 99% of all stories.
