Which was, in fact, deeply awesome. (Almost Morrison-esque.) And I see this
is why he specified their world as unredeemable back when they first showed
up.

Which universe would he have gnabbed next? @-@

The Rung has been used in odd ways lately.  By the original concept,
wouldn't he gain a new identity and set of powers?

Of course you didn't!  Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go supervise the
installation of my solid-gold high-definition manga shelf.

Nah, that's just the closest I could come to an explanation that made
sense, even LNH nonsense sense.

(However, now that you mention it...)

Although, if I post one more issue it's probably going to stop being a
cascade. x-x;

No, no.  They've been hiding inside issues of LNH series that were skipped
over.  When the Legacy Beam zapped the crystal containing Just Imagine
Saxon Brenton's RACCies... Again! #6, they came out of said issue fighting
mad.

Andrew "NO .SIG MAN" "Juan" Perron, seriously, doesn't anyone want to
