In the seconds it had taken her to deal with the blindfold, Marquis had trapped Lady Photon, binding her in a column of dense bone that had likely sprung around her from the floor or ceiling.
Once he gets a good amount of bone going, this power is really strong.
From the glow that was emanating through the barrier, she was apparently trying to use lasers to cut her way out. She was strong enough to do it in one shot, but she couldn’t do that without risking shooting a teammate if the shot continued through.
Ahh, right.
That left Marquis to duel with Manpower, striking the hero over and over with a massive scythe of bone that extended out from his wrist.
Bones and scythes? Classic combination.
Not usually like this, though.
Manpower was strong, and he was durable thanks to his electromagnetic shield – sparks flew as the scythe hit home over and over. Even so, the hero didn’t try to fight back.
Why? To avoid punching Marquis through a wall? Or maybe to avoid shattering more of the bones?
It took her only a moment to realize why. Each swing of the scythe was calculated so that if the movement followed through, it would strike either the crippled Flashbang or Lightstar.
Oh! Devious.
