Tek Support and his family have been hiding out for all these years, trying to live a normal life, so he’s pretty unnerved to be suddenly confronted by Bruiser and to be thrust back into the superhero life again. He’s probably been constantly aware of the possibility though, which is why he’s still got a great big arsenal of weapons and a lot of equipment in a secret lab. So I don’t think it’s unusual that he’d just want to do the ‘wrong’ thing and be done with it all….
Stop TALKING and PULL THE SHARESS DAMNED TRIGGER!
I suspect Bruiser himself would respect the way Tek Support is approaching this. 😛
That’s what I’m thinking. He’s arguing with a child who only found out about his birthright less than an hour again. Shoot and get it done.
A child that happens to be the boy he has always seen as his SON….. cold-blooded murder ain’t simple for everybody, even less so in front of loved ones.
I can’t blame tek support for reacting like this however I also don’t agree with it. Bruiser has a pretty twisted form of invulnerability in the form of super-regeneration and thus what Tek is thinking of doing is pretty futile.
Opps! Finger twitched. Whoops! Happened again,, and again,,, one more time.
Very true. Tek’s “maybe” sounds too much like wishful thinking to be trusted. Tek’s wife has the better idea with her talk of restraints. Maybe you can’t kill the guy but you can bury him within a block of cement so that he can’t move and then bury the block of cement real deep or send it into orbit. Not quite the Phantom Zone but it keeps Bruiser out of mischief without killing him or making Tek a villain to his family. ^_^
How many people would still be alive and un-murdered if Batman had killed the Joker after he broke out of the asylum the, oh, third or fourth time?
In the real world, where we care about the unnamed “extras” getting killed, you KILL people like that, so as to minimize the body count.
Even if you think that would be murder, it still results in the fewest murders of any of the available choices.
How is this hard to understand?
“Oh, THIS time, the restraints will REALLY work!” Yeah, that’s what you said last time, and now a dozen more people are murdered.
OK, plan ‘B’: get just one cyber squirrel going, shove it down Bruiser’s throat, to, uh,,, do stuff. That would buy plenty of time for explaining morals vs practicality to a child. Especially if said squirrel has a neat self-destruct system.
