Overconfidence

Loyal to a fault

I can live with the adverts on Youtube but what needles me is constant repetition of a certain artist and their record not as 10-30 second clip but the ENTIRE thing. I really do not want to hear Bradley Simpson and Cry at the Moon. I have been completely put off by constant repetition.

I used the trick that Stonewall Jackson used at Harper's Ferry to side track him. I'm reading up on the American Civil War and that is where I got the idea.

Maxima Justice ! Look, up in the sky ! It's a bird ! It's a plane ! It's Maxima Justice ! Faster than a speeding train ! More powerful than a Mac Truck ! Able to leap tall buildings in a single bound ! Yes, it's Maxima Justice ! The Brunette Bombshell who has come to the city with abilities far greater than normal men and women, Maxima Justice !, who can change the course of human history, bend metal in her bare hands, and who, would never have done anything like this as she was so self centred but now finds herself fighting a never-ending battle for truth, justice and the American way. Helen Reynolds is a lawyer content to just do the minimum effort to get the best result and would have stayed that way if not for the eclipse. And if not the fact that they made snide remarks to a woman with a rather vindictive eight year old with a mean streak and a doting uncle who just happens to be a mad scientist. He is used to maybe making a rod for his own back but having observed Ms Reynolds the opportunity to make her come off the side lines and join in proved irresistible. That and the fact that it might intrigue competitors. Helen is horrified by what she has become. An idealist like Superman ? Ridiculous ! That is kids stuff not relevant in today's society. And the outfit. A bit like Wonder Woman with a cape, no mask and no tiara. How no-one has identified her is a mystery. (Except that Maxima and Helen do not look alike, Helen just thinks she does)

We missed the fact that January 4th of this year was the 25th anniversary of the Fingerpoke of Doom Happily I will save the rest of this post for Wrestlemania Night 2 results Drew Mcintyre beat Seth Rollins to become the new champion and then Damien Priest cashed in his Money in the Bank Contract. I thought maybe this was coming and if not in this match then in the Cody Rhodes - Roman Reigns one. It was the right call to make it this one although I feel a bit sorry for Drew. Bobby Lashley and the Street Profits won. So what now for Karrion Kross ? Logan Paul retained. Dashing the hopes of all who would have liked to see him brained. L A Knight beat A J Styles. So they are keeping a fire lit under him Bayley beat Iyo Sky. And Cody Rhodes beat Roman Reigns which means no-one in the Bloodline has a title. I think the calls on the last two were right as Reigns had to drop the title some time. They could not keep it on him indefinitely. After all he ain't Hogan. And it completes an arc for Bayley as she turned face. The question is who will Jade Cargill be set on, Ripley or Bayley ? Power wise I would say Ripley. EDIT: The BBC had a mention of it https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/newsbeat-68754887 And Jade Cargill squashed Chelsea Green in 30 seconds on RAW. So Ripley is the target

Known as The Cat of Fine Lives, Madelaine Beaumont is a shapeshifter more in the lineage of Menagerie than say a werewolf. And the number of different origins that have been stated as what gave her powers is astounding as they are all plausible. DEMON casting a spell on her ? Check. Getting hit by a spell during a battle ? Check (well it worked for Liberty Helle in Philadelphia). Being used as the test subject for a scientist involved in illegal genetic mutation ? Check. Being bitten by Menagerie herself ? Check. Being cursed by gypsies ? Check (well it worked on Dr Nymax!'s niece). Being experimented on by Dr Nymax! check. Being thrown in Dr Clement Blatchford's Omnitron ? Check. The old picking up a piece of cursed jewellery schtick ? Check. The same with an artefact ? Check The old cursed by a native shaman schtick ? Check. And there are others. Instead of marrying well Madelaine has become an underworld mastermind and gets her money that way. She made people believe she was the wife or mistress of others whilst she was the one in control. The hero almost caught her out several times but he almost killed her as well which is what really stuck in her throat so she joined with the others to get rid of him once and for all. She is content wo work with the others but feels that Oskolok will attack sooner rather than later. Madelaine can shapeshift into a number of feline forms usually human sized black cat, tigress, cheetah, leopardess, jaguar or lynx. However she has other forms such as lioness (it is rather plain which is one reason not to use it) and other human women with different hair colours, eye colours and finger prints. Not bad for a blue eyed blonde who people dismiss as a trophy wife or airhead. Like the Master of the Orbs she can play a long game One more to go

Master of the Orbs Masquerading under the name of Reginald Tiddlesly an unassuming accountant, he who is the Master of the Orbs runs a criminal enterprise. And due to his impersonation of the timid accountant he has never been to brook despite all the efforts of the police and that pesky hero. He even managed to make a court believe that the orbs had some kind of hypnotic power or boosted mind control. And not once afterwards did he drop the facade and gloat about his victory or cumulative victories. Yet the hero continuously vexed him. This is what drove him to work with the others. This left him mildly relieved. They were after all competitors and he is watching to see who amongst them will challenge him. In his supervillain guise the Orbs orbit him and blast all sort of energy beams including some which 'seem to do nothing'. This has unnerved those who have fought him more than once as they think that something is in the offing. He has very limited flight ability with the orbs like 5 mph and 20ft off the ground at most. He has worked out a way to take on Oskolok and banish him if not defeat him but it will make the others far more wary of him.
