With a car battery, it could be a car alarm. Then he could shout his catch phrases:<br /><br />"Alarmed and Dangerous!"<br /><br />"This is an Alarming development!"<br /><br />"I'm alert - are you?"<br /><br /><br />Truly a force for good.Nathan Hallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05477802465452451455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11737441.post-42434160400479967992012-03-16T02:34:39.982-05:002012-03-16T02:34:39.982-05:00Don't forget that Captain Incredible had a pac...Don't forget that Captain Incredible had a pacemaker and learned to channel its awesome energies into power blasts.<br /><br />I just looked it up: a typical pacemaker runs on a lithium battery of somewhere between 5 and 8 volts. Just imagine what Captain Frye could have done with a 9 volt battery.

Her brother invented them, and if you can invent a gun that creates ice, how much harder would it be to create two such guns and shape them like skates? Where else was she gonna get the ice when she was working solo? For heaven's sake, USE YOUR HEADS, people...<br /><br />I think I read somewhere -- that's where I come across a lot of material, "somewhere" -- the Captain Invincible thing was based on a similar subplot in Hill Street Blues or some other cop show. I suppose it qualified as a parody of "crazed cop who takes the law into his own hands" concept that was pretty popular in the 1970s.ronaldnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11737441.post-35228338383720368312012-03-15T10:38:52.936-05:002012-03-15T10:38:52.936-05:00In the Bronze Age, ANYTHING could be accomplished ...In the Bronze Age, <b>ANYTHING</b> could be accomplished merely by the adroit application of a caption box.<br /><br />It was uncanny.Scipiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12112155718721908876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11737441.post-25610643913171491032012-03-15T10:32:07.739-05:002012-03-15T10:32:07.739-05:00Wait -- Golden Glider's skates made the ice, r...Wait -- Golden Glider's skates made the ice, rather than Captain Cold's cold gun?
