That grates on me like the neck crack cocky/evil characters do in movies before they "tear it up." Last time I looked, few members of any super-hero team was ever in the military, especially in the DCU, let alone in a ground-force unit where "point" has some relevance. <BR/><BR/>In either of the mainstream comic companies universes, both of which are as grounded in "science fantasy" as Star Wars, nothing reads sillier than Batman ordering, "Kent, Diana, you two take point."Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01409933597359089059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11737441.post-54137483269973302462007-08-31T02:23:00.000-05:002007-08-31T02:23:00.000-05:00There was a spoof of that in one of Virgin Doctor ...There was a spoof of that in one of Virgin Doctor Who books where it was finally discovered the Fletcher character was actually causing the murders to happen with some kind of latent telepathy.
