I imagine when you’re older you have to really conserve your movements. Think about it: energy reserves are lower than in the past and maybe the bones don’t work as well. So, you don’t do anything that requires more energy than necessary. Money Man has obviously learned this lesson well.
Lots of great, (sometimes) crazy theories about Money Man’s return last week. Keep ’em coming. Some answers are coming sooner than you think. And, of course, MORE questions.
Oh, and Happy Belated Mother’s Day to all of the women out there!
A few comics later and Moneyman has just become one of the most epic fighters thus far. Also I love that line he says to Zurida
Its what happens after you nearly die from being backhanded by a man with super strength. At that moment you realize that money isn’t always the answer to fix most problems. So you use your money to make it so that you can kick their butt incase money isn’t an option with them.
An excellent deduction, Quin.
Ole Money Man appears to have tricks and gadgets under his sleeves! Zzzap!
He also has gum and beef jerky up there, in case anyone is interested.
He’s got 99 problems….. But a megalomaniacal despot alien empress ain’t one.
Hit me.
What the ?!?
What is Moneyman packing in there anyway ?
First, he defend himself against some alien guards and now this ???
What’s next a sword fight with Moneyman winning ? š
Dude, I so wanna see Money Man with a sword!
Of course he’s got the James Bond jacket only with a better gun up the sleeve.
So for Zurida he merely suggests that she reconsider the path she’s taken meaning that the villain he accused Cap of consorting with must be Doc Rocket.
I think you may be reading a little too much into that last panel. He also zapped her, so I wouldn’t say he’s exactly going easy on her.
Cap STILL has a thing for Zurida??
I suppose anything is possible, but I’m not sure where you’re getting that from!
Glad Money chose that line. “I’d like to take a moment to talk to you about Jesus” seems much more Tangerine’s bag these days. Make good choices Zurida.
…or get slammed by the super zappy thing in my sleeve,” said Money Man.
So basically, what we’re saying here, is the Money Man is in fact Batman.
…and he can breathe in space.
…and can eat fritos and donuts for dinner and not get fat.
Um. He is rich. He was inspired by a critter flying in his window. Face it, HE’S GOT ALL THOSE COOL TOYS. I’m waiting for him to whip out a dollarang and pin her to a wall.
Now, as for the getting backhanded and supposedly being dead, I look on that as a set of bloody trading cards being flung on a table…a “push” to bring a certain team together. But it would have broken the effect of the push if he had come “back to life” too soon, so he stayed in the background, in his Secret Dollar Vault, watching with his Dollarcomputer, and getting his Utility Wallet all geared up for battle.
That little holdout in his sleeve? Clearly he popped Zurida’s Bitcoin Bubble.
Gwen, I want to see that. I want to see the Secret Dollar Vault!
But…but it’s a SECRET!
Hmmm.
I just remembered there was a loser that Speedy took back with him to that fatal fight. I’m wondering if this is the original MoneyMan
This seems to be a popular theory. It does make a certain kind of sense, I’ll grant you that.
except for 10 digits…
When I read this strip all I could think was how much Spy Gal would love getting a Zurida Zapper like that for Christmas. Think of how much fun she’d have using it. Hopefully batteries are included. A lot of them. I don’t imagine it’s something she’d get bored with very quickly.
No, I can’t imagine you’re wrong about any of that. I would be sad if we didn’t get a Spy Gal vs. Zurida round 2 before this is all over.
Way to go Cap — your amazing ability to just shout “No, don’t do that!” and just stand there while others take action shines through once again.
….. Why does he have ten fingers?
Brock, if this turns into a “Duck Amuck” situation….
