Do you know why I work out so much?

To look buff?

To take contracts from model agency? If you've lost your powers, still have a backup job.

It's ok: these dozen panels are all a part of a bonding activity with Mortimer, the true protagonist and leader of the burk troupe.

They're just learning to take a hit as well as he does (づ。◕‿◕。)づ

To impress to bros at the blue oyster?

This chad is on a roll.

honestly, branding.

there's an entire sub-group of heroes that's just buff guys wearing speedos. arguably the main good thing about heroland..

To fight espers?

Will be kinda funny if she just materializes that sword again and stabs him in the balls.

43174: Hmm - Thursday, August 15 2024 - 6:23 AM

Evyle has other powers you know.

Doesn't Burk have a free wish with this guy from the time he fought this golden guy?

43177: Zet - Thursday, August 15 2024 - 7:33 AM

Hah - I remembered right: Burk has one free wish for a minor heroic deed: https://www.neorice.com/hoh_burk_1705

To get matches on Grindr ?

Antagonists taking their time; the hero's life insurance

I wonder if Burk was weakened by signing that contract? And maybe that contract wasn't with the rest, as that parasitic spirit was inspecting it (rather than storing it) after Burk signed it?

I mean, Burk's demonstrated super-strength a number of times, e.g. when throwing Pablo across the moat to the Mage Baron's castle or with how heavy his backpack was to the Aristocrat, so he's not just a normal guy + anti-magic. Maybe signing that contract somehow suppressed a portion of his strength?

Hm, rain...

Because Espers tend to skew squishy and unathletic even when they have powers, I'm guessing. It's probably not enough to make for a fair fight normally, but if someone turns off your powers, playing dirty back is fair.

Also, his job involves a lot of walking and running around anyways. Working out can't hurt, since it's not like he can skip leg day. (Probably. I don't remember seeing him use any flight tricks.)

@RandomFan

He flies around constantly, though? His entire fight had him in the air.

Actually, how does his power let him do that?

@Zed
could be something like featherweight taken to an extreme level. alternately, he could just have some of his material right under his feet since we know it can stay in midair. ps sorry for the vague term i don't know if he's making ice or crystals
