Panel 1: This panel amuses me to no end, given that Thugboy will someday feel quite differently about superheroines—or one particular superheroine, at least.
Panels 2-3: An important rant for Young(er) Thugboy, especially when we get a hint on the next page about his background before Witless Minioning.
Panel 4: Ah, the first Empowered reference to a mysterious, “capekilling”-related Empverse catastrophe in San Antonio. (At least, I think it’s the first reference.)
