Can Trolley Man at least multi-track drift?

I want more of this. Reminds me on the anime Darker than Black, where those with power always had to fulfill some contract to use their power, else they'd die.

Man, this anime is so underrated. I like it a lot. I question the artistic direction on the second season, but at least the ending wrapped up the whole show nicely.

A little correction, nobody really know what happens when a contractor doesn't do that side-effect thingy. It is never mentioned if they would die, nor that it's even implied. The way I see it, they'd simply develop strong impulse to do so.

Still saves more lives than Homelander

Isn't Homelander a villain though? I thought he was supposed to be a villain.

Edit: NM I didn't realize Homelander was from The Boys. I honestly thought he was the guy in Guardians of The Galaxy 3

Edit 2: Apparently that character's name is Adam Warlock.

I remember reading The Infinity gauntlet comics and in it Adam warlock was supposed to be the greatest human being ever created.

And then they picked the actor that they chose for him and I'm just not seeing it.

SpoilerHomelander is the villain in the boys.

Hiding that piece of info behind a spoiler tag chef's kiss.

Ahh, kk. Never seen it, but I guess the two characters seem similar in that respect at least.

The Dave Chappelle bit about Bill Cosby being a superhero.... but he rapes.

It's close to the second ghost rider (and maybe the first, been awhile since I dug up my old comics) who didn't have powers until innocent blood was spilled (though typically it was the villain who spilled it).

Issue #1 or 5? You decide!

This got a bonus chuckle from me.

And here was I thinking that this character was so terrible that it caused Stan Lee to spontaneously spring back into existence in order to make that opinion known.
