Shadowgirls

You guys are reading, but you aren't looking.  We know that font. That's the one Annaline and
Mordecai cast in. It would also line up with Granny Gollum saying the arm isn't "Mundane Technology", meaning it's Arcane Tech.

That also means that she's got at least 2 schools of Magic under her command, possibly a third (naturally or from the Eye).  Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Starkweather himself the only person we've seen in Universe who can command more than one form of magic to date?

I noticed it right off the bat hence my "creepy math powers".  Makes sense I suppose since she's using a psychofact and has been for awhile.  Unless of course all magic items in the Dave-verse are called that…  Still she's a villain and villains need every last ounce of power to stand up to multiple heroes.  Now if she breaks out into martial arts or does some John Woo style action THAT might be a bit too much.

Still NOWBODY does that to Max!  Where's The Destroyer when you need her!?

No spoilers. Just that Moira's past is probably one of the most interesting of the entire cast.

Ninjas may have been involved. Or Pirates.

If she's worn the mask, that'd be PASTS, in the plural, and is guaranteed to include both Pirates, Ninjas, and quite possibly Cowboys.

You know when your in trouble when you have a cyber-arm and it falls apart when math is mentioned.

You know you're in trouble when a freaky one-eyed she-b***h wipes out your whole team in under ten seconds, and then makes your own arm- *gak*

Intresting… so Max is former EoD as well? Or just a whitecoat's pet guinea pig. Discuss.

I'd kind've assumed that she was either a former EOD chip-controlled sock-puppet, or that she'd been Bionic Man'ed from confiscated EOD tech.

What I find unexpected is that the (presumably) EOD-based mental hardware protected her better than the armature did.  Were I an uber-ebil Whitecoat, I'd've made sure any mental mechanisms would have a triggerable (and fatal) secondary override, in case the slave I'd embedded it into manage to overcome the primary mental compulsions.  After all, the arm is only as powerful as the mind it's attached to.

Either way, so she's down a cyborg hand, and that's a bummer – but so what?  I wouldn't be surprised to find she's planted a gun in Moira's belly with the other one, in the next installment.
