Three hundred billion... over ten years, in case you were wondering. The details might come up on a future page, but in case they don't, I don't want you guys thinking Deus is trying to grab half the US's annual defense spending. That would just be greedy.
The "Hung Like a Horse" super soda is the easy joke, but I'm sure most women would be much more interested in the "Makes you Last Exactly as Long as I do Because I'm Tired of Being with 8 Pump Chumps, but Also it's Kind of Worse When He Gets His Second Wind and 45 Minutes is Seriously Too Much - I mean, Chafing is Never Good but Especially in Certain Places… Well, You Get it."
Also that wouldn't fit on the vending machine.
I'm not sure what it says about me that when I was trying to come up with a single comic panel that showed "customizable super powers" my first thought was a vending machine full of perverted shit. I could have spoofed the Captain America zero to hero sarcophagus, or someone looking over a selection of "super" spiders in vials, or someone standing next to a shelf of chemicals with a big tesla coil descending from the ceiling, but no. I went with the Pervert's Delight Vending Machine.
I don't think I quite got panel 6 right, but it's close. The expression is supposed to conjure the sound of Marge Simpson doing one of those long, low grousing mumbles of hers. That or you're supposed to guess Max is thinking "I will beat the smug right off your giant face."

I have come to accept Whinnie the Pooh as representing China for so long that it took me a few viewings to actually notice it.

2020-05-19 00:49:59 +0000 UTCI'm a bit disappointed she's impressed with 300 GB. This is the US military we are talking about.

2020-05-19 00:10:08 +0000 UTCI think she jumped the gun with Max there. That comment is more likely to derail Deus' plan.

2020-05-18 16:57:24 +0000 UTCI'm guessing that if she did she wouldn't be so chill about being called a slave to deus. lol

2020-05-18 16:27:54 +0000 UTCGlad to see Max is as enthused by Deus's antics as I am.

2020-05-18 15:48:48 +0000 UTCI was just gonna say that.

2020-05-18 15:40:53 +0000 UTCPanel 9: "Thank you for re-drawing these moral borders with clarity."
Andrew Denton
2020-05-18 14:59:27 +0000 UTCInterestingly enough, Deus has specifically NOT said that he can make super heroes. He has just suggested that he has more supes per capita. That can mean that he has hired more supes, or given more supes cause to move to his country, plus his country may have a rather low population density due to its location, environment, and former "troubles".

2020-05-18 13:29:44 +0000 UTCDave, I notice you've been swearing more in your commentary lately. Are you under stress?
Stephen Gilberg
2020-05-18 13:28:37 +0000 UTCWhy do I get the feeling that Sciona still has a role to play in upsetting Deus' apple cart? :)

2020-05-18 12:19:58 +0000 UTCThat is the Japanese one...even if it says Sappaa (supper?) Pop. Maybe it only works in the evening?
Boris
2020-05-18 11:34:47 +0000 UTCI like how Deus hasn't actually said that he knows anything useful about the origins of superpowers. Just that he might share what he does know.

2020-05-18 11:27:20 +0000 UTCAlso for the "lasts as long as I do"... "Syncroclimaxis"?

2020-05-18 11:18:51 +0000 UTCI'm somewhat scared, if that's not the Japanese vending machine. Of what the Japanese vending machine is.
Justaguy
2020-05-18 11:18:19 +0000 UTCUsing advanced DNA scanning and Gene Editing tech to make supers? Using alien tech to fake Supers? Using advanced alien drugs to bake Supers?
James C
2020-05-18 11:11:00 +0000 UTCI wonder what part of Project Cha-Ching involves his business on that space station where Syd got picked up by Cora?

2020-05-18 10:45:51 +0000 UTCPlot Twist: Max has a translator. Or speaks sufficient Alari to guess the rest from context.
Rens
2020-05-18 10:26:21 +0000 UTCAs for the plan, it seems that he wants to sell weapons to the US, which will be presumably manufactured in Galytn, resulting in a substantial weapons industry in Galytn, able to make advanced weaponry for... well, anybody who can pay Deus' prices.
Foradain
2020-05-18 10:26:04 +0000 UTCAnd now I must avoid pointing to the next-to-last button on the machine (above "Firehose") in the City of Titans forums, lest the debates resurge... Of course, I'm not the only person here who visits those forums regularly... Meanwhile, does Max have a translator device, perhaps courtesy of Dabbler or Sidney's new friends?
Foradain
2020-05-18 10:16:17 +0000 UTCAt least people can Venmo their superpowers in that eventuality.
