Panel 1: Note that Ninjette was privy to Thugboy’s nearly disastrous interaction with “Cap’n Boots” back at the end of Empowered vol.4.

Panel 5: Ha! Hadn’t recalled that, for the benefit of the casual reader, Thugboy’s dialogue brings up the idea that a Daisy Cutter is presumably an explosive weapon of some sort; later in the volume, we might just meet a cape rocking that supranym and an explosive power set. Military-hardware otaku will, of course, know that “Daisy Cutter” is the slang term for the BLU-82B 15,000lb(!) bomb.

To be honest, more likely that this casual speculation by Six Years Ago Thugboy wasn’t taking place in San Antonio, as that’s not where his group was based. (Long story.) However, I wanted to play up the reference from panel 3, hence the caption.
