/ Nick: Hold it right there, fiend! / Nick: I don't know who or what you are...
/ Nick: but no more terrorizing innocents for you!
/ [[Nick's punch sends the flea backwards, plowing about a ten-foot trench into the ground.]] / [[The flea gets to his feet again.]]
/ Flea: Terrorizing innocents? Ya know, it's not exactly polite accusing people when you haven't been properly introduced.
/ Flea: So let me introduce myself... / Flea: You can call me...
/ [[Moving at astonishing speed, the flea runs towards Nick and kicks him in the chin.]]
/ Flea: The Inexplicable SPECK! http://www.gpf-comics.com/d/20050420.html |
| GPF Archive: Thursday, April 21, 2005 | [[Dexter, Ki, Fooker, and Sharon stand looking on as Nick, aka Absolutely Incredible Man, battles the four-foot super-powered flea, the Inexplicable Speck!]]
/ Dexter: Kewl! His power must be super speed!
/ Ki: Nick sure is throwing himself into this role...
/ Fooker: Is "inexplicable" even a real word? / [[The Speck! with his super speed is running circles around Absolutely Incredible Man, punching him from every angle. While the other four talk.]]
/ Sharon: What I don't get is that while this "Speck" guy is certainly weird, he doesn't strike me as all that... villainous.
/ Ki: What do you mean?
/ Sharon: No offense to Nick's story telling abilities, but everything here so far seems a little bit too cliche. / [[The Speck! now has Absolutely Incredible Man by the cape and is swinging him around.]]
/ Sharon: This guy doesn't seem to fit the super villain mold: on the contrary, he looks and acts more like a *hero*. And if you think about it, what's the first thing two heroes do in a lame crossover? There's a big misunderstanding and they get in a fight!
/ Nick: A little... *help* here, please? / Fooker: Cliche or not, we ought to get over there and give Nick a hand...
/ Ki: Are you coming, Sharon?
/ Sharon: Are you kidding?
/ Sharon: First, Nick never finished explaining our powers. Second, if you ask me, the *real* villain is going to show up... / [[As the other three run to Nick's aid, Sharon looks back -- to find a very large metallic-looking claw poised over her head.]]
/ Sharon: ... any minute. http://www.gpf-comics.com/d/20050421.html |
| GPF Archive: Friday, April 22, 2005 | [[The Inexplicable Speck! has beaten up Nick (aka Absolutely Incredible Man) and now holds him by the front of Nick's collar.]]
/ The Inexplicable Speck!: Now that I've stopped you from trying to clobber me, can we take a few minutes for you to tell me WHO THE FREAKIN' HECK YOU *ARE*?!
/ Nick: Ngh... / [[Ki blasts the Inexplicable Speck! with a golden power blast.]]
/ Ki: He's my fiance. / The Inexplicable Speck!: Yikes, lady! That's some power blast you've got there!
/ Ki: And you can expect to get a lot more of it if you don't stand down.
/ The Inexplicable Speck!: Look. I didn't *start* this, but I'll *finish* it if I have to...
/ Fooker: I don't think he's *biting,* Ki...
/ Fooker: You barely *scratched* him.
/ Dexter: Can we dispense with the flea puns, please? / The Inexplicable Speck!: This is fun and all, but I *really* need to be getting back to my own universe. I don't suppose you people are going to *help,* so if I *have* to take you on four on one, just give me...
/ The Inexplicable Speck!: thirty seconds. / Voice from off-screen: I'll give ya ten.
/ Fooker: That's not very generous, Ki.
/ Ki: That's because *I* didn't say that.
/ [[Dexter looks to see who spoke, and reacts in shock.]] http://www.gpf-comics.com/d/20050422.html |
| GPF Archive: Saturday, April 23, 2005 | [[The Warmonger is on screen, holding Sharon hostage]]
/ Nick: It's The Warmonger! Absolutely Incredible Man's worst nemesis!
/ Warmonger: Referrin' to yerself in third person now, Absolutely Incredulous Moron? How quaint. Ya got _FIVE_ seconds now before the flower child here goes fer a trip... _WITHOUT_ the drugs. / [[Nick looks shaken as Ki and Inexplicable Speck ask him questions]]
/ Inexplicable Speck: This some friend of yours?
/ Ki: Quick, Nick! You're the cartoonist! How do we defeat this guy?
/ Inexplicable Speck: Cartoonist? As if you guys weren't making sense _BEFORE_. / [[Nick appears pained]]
/ Nick: We...we can't. This is his Mega Mech form, after he merged with the Mobius Wave Gem. When I wrote this part... half the team... _died_... http://www.gpf-comics.com/d/20050423.html |
| GPF Archive: Sunday, April 24, 2005 | Fooker: Half the team *dies*? Why did you make him so powerful?
/ Nick: I was ending the series! I wanted it to have a dramatic conclusion!
/ Dexter: He's right, though. The sacrifice of several main characters *would* add a dramatic element and heighten the -- / Ki: Dexter, shut up!
/ Fooker: And where does this Inexplodable Spork fit in? Is he another one of your cartoon creations?
/ The Inexplicable Speck!: That's "Inexplicable *Speck,*" and you people are starting to give me a gargantuan headache... / Nick: Okay, look, I'm sorry! I didn't know we would end up near the end of the Mobius Wave Gem saga. I *thought* we'd encounter Sinister Stan, or Apogee, or even Chrono-Monk. *Not* Warmonger, and *especially* not in his most powerful form. I just thought it would be fun to act out some old super hero fantasies and include my friends in it. I... I guess I didn't input the right parameters in the MUTEX's reality matrix.
/ Nick: As for the Speck, I don't know where *he* comes from. He's not one of *my* characters. He did say something about his "own universe," so maybe he crossed a dimensional boundary and ended up in our pocket universe by mistake.
/ The Inexplicable Speck!: "Pocket Universe?" Wait a minute... This is all starting to come together... / The Inexplicable Speck!: The Gamester said some guy named Nick *thought* he had created a "pocket" universe, but really linked with an existing one his subconscious had tapped into. If you're that Nick, maybe your comics were really an expression of *real* events occurring *here.*
/ Nick: That... *could* be possible...
/ Ki, shaken, thinks: The Gamester? / The Warmonger, pointing a humongous gunhand at The Inexplicable Speck! and Nick: You geeks yap too much.
/ The Warmonger: Yer time's up. http://www.gpf-comics.com/d/20050424.html |
| GPF Archive: Monday, April 25, 2005 | [[The Warmonger fires an energy blast, causing Dexter, Ki, and Nick to scatter. Nick knocks the Inexplicable Speck! out of the path of the energy blast.]]
/ Nick: Take cover! / Nick: If this is a real universe, then *that's* a real Warmonger! We need to stop him before real people get hurt!
/ The Inexplicable Speck!: Now yer really talkin'! The sooner we clobber this walking tin can, the sooner I can grade those midterms! / Ki, thinking: The Gamester! Todd mentioned that name when we met in the MUTEX that last time! He also said something about crossing universes, and about Nick's "rough times" ahead.
/ Ki, thinking: Could... Could this be where I have to make a choice, the one Todd said would be harder if I knew Nick's -- / Nick: We'll take him on all at once!
/ Nick: Absolutely Incredibles... attack! http://www.gpf-comics.com/d/20050425.html |
| GPF Archive: Tuesday, April 26, 2005 | [[The Warmonger is holding Sharon in one of his claws as the Absolutely Incredible team attack him.]]
/ Nick: Be careful not to hit Sharon!
/ Nick: Ki! Fooker! Stick to range attacks! Everyone else, let 'im have it! / Dexter: Hey, um, Speck! Why don't you use your super speed on him, like loosening a few bolts really fast?
/ The Inexplicable Speck!: Because my powers don't work that way. My super speed gave out during Nick's apology speech. / Dexter: Gave out?
/ The Inexplicable Speck!: My powers are tied to the unstable half-life of a new type of radiation I discovered.
/ The Inexplicable Speck!: Thus, when the half-life expires, my powers change. The super speed *may* come back eventually, but until I discover the new power, I don't know what it is. / Dexter: Wow... That's... *weird.*
/ The Inexplicable Speck!: Tell me about it. It also requires a fast and vivid imagination.
/ The Inexplicable Speck!: I've got a few stable powers, like some super strength and invulnerability. But the "random" power is strongest. / [[The Inexplicable Speck!'s left arm has suddenly stretched out a few feet.]]
/ Dexter: And it's undoubtedly elasticity.
/ The Inexplicable Speck!: Huh. *That's* a new one.
/ The Inexplicable Speck!: Maybe the dean at the college will stop pestering me to see his chiropractor after this... http://www.gpf-comics.com/d/20050426.html |
| GPF Archive: Wednesday, April 27, 2005 | [[The Inexplicable Speck! reaches out with his newly-discovered elasticity.]]
/ The Inexplicable Speck!, to Dexter: Quick, um... you! Distract him long enough for me to try and restrain him!
/ [[Dexter flies to do so.]]
/ Dexter: Gotcha! / [[Dexter floats over the Warmonger's head, waggling his fingers at the sides of his face.]]
/ Dexter: Hey, iron shorts!
/ Dexter: I bet your electronics were coded in LOGO!
/ [[The Warmonger looks up at Dexter, and is unaware of the Inexplicable Speck!'s stretchy arms reaching for him.]]
/ Warmonger, to Dexter: C'mere so I can squash you, you insect! / [[The Inexplicable Speck!'s stretchy arms are wrapped all around the Warmonger.]]
/ Warmonger: GAH!
/ The Inexplicable Speck!: Watch who yer callin' an insect, buddy! / [[The Warmonger falls flat on his face. His claw springs open, releasing Sharon.]] http://www.gpf-comics.com/d/20050427.html |
| GPF Archive: Thursday, April 28, 2005 | [[The Inexplicable Speck!, with his new power of elasticity, has wrapped up the Warmonger and laid him flat on his face on the ground.]]
/ The Inexplicable Speck!, to Nick: Your friend is free, and I've pinned him for the moment! If you "created" this guy and you know his weaknesses, now would be a good time to share them! / Nick: Ordinarily, the Warmonger is just a guy in a big metal battle suit. The Team could easily defeat him on even terms.
/ Nick: But as long as he has the Mobius Wave Gem, we *can't* defeat him. That's why he stole it! / Nick: The Mobius Wave was created by an ancient alien race called the Elorinians. With their advanced technology, they created a new perpetual energy source to replace their dying sun. Like a Mobius Strip, the Wave is endless with no beginning or end. Some say the Elorinians did not *create* the Wave, but they were the only ones to tap into it and harness its limitless power.
/ Nick: Ten thousand years ago, the evil sourcerer Deglok the Despicable sought to harness the Mobius Wave's power from any location. So he created a gem to focus time and space to the Wave's coordinates. The Absolutely Incredibles were pulled back in time to defeat Deglok, but when he was overpowered, he flung the Gem into an interdimensional void. The Team tried to --
/ Someone else: HOLD ON A SEC! / The Inexplicable Speck!: Did we *really* need a history lesson? Wouldn't it have been easier just to say "Gem bad. Remove Gem. Beat bad guy?"
/ Nick: Well... I guess... / [[The Warmonger tries to push himself up.]]
/ Warmonger: That dork never knows when to shut up.
/ The Inexplicable Speck! and Nick, in unison: You keep out of this! http://www.gpf-comics.com/d/20050428.html |
| GPF Archive: Friday, April 29, 2005 | Fooker: Fine! Ki and I will combine our powers and blast the Gem to Kingdom Come!
/ Nick: You can't! Your energy-based blasts will only amplify the Wave and increase Warmonger's strength! / [[As the Team is discussing how to destroy the Gem, the Inexplicable Speck! is straining harder and harder to keep the Warmonger subdued.]]
/ Fooker: Then why don't you or Dexter just crush the thing with your super strength?
/ Nick: We can't! It's impervious to brute force! Neither of us could put a scratch on it! / Dexter: Then why don't we get the Speck to pull it loose with his stretchy hands?
/ The Inexplicable Speck!, visibly straining: If you... hadn't noticed, I'm a little... *busy* at the moment. Can we hurry this... up a little? / Sharon: I suppose I could give it a nasty looking glare...
/ Warmonger, off-screen: Hey, I got an idear...
/ The Inexplicable Speck!: Um, guys... / [[The Warmonger rises as the Inexplicable Speck!'s stretchy arms begin to fall away.]]
/ Warmonger: How's about I break free...
/ Warmonger: Then I turn all y'all inta hamburger! http://www.gpf-comics.com/d/20050429.html |
| GPF Archive: Saturday, April 30, 2005 | [[The Warmonger backhands Nick, sending him flying.]]
/ Warmonger: An' I'll start with motormouth here!
/ Ki: NICK! / Dexter: There's *got* to be a weakness in that Gem!
/ Nick: Just one, I'm afraid, and I don't see how we'll be able to use it!
/ Nick: It's suceptable to a series of harmonic vibrations well above the human range of hearing. / Nick: Unfortunately, I don't remember the frequencies, and even if I did, we don't have a way of reproducing them with enough power to be effective! / Warmonger: Next, I'll flatten ol' Shaggy here!
/ [[The Warmonger blasts Fooker.]]
/ Warmonger: No Scooby Snacks fer you!
/ [[Sharon is horrified.]] http://www.gpf-comics.com/d/20050430.html |
| GPF Archive: Sunday, May 1, 2005 | [[Fooker, having been blasted by the Warmonger, lies on the ground twitching.]]
/ Fooker: < http://www.gpf-comics.com/d/20050501.html |
| GPF Archive: Monday, May 2, 2005 | Sharon: You mean I've been dressed like *this* for no good reason?!
/ Dexter: Now, now, Sharon! Don't raise your voice too much, or we might be cleaning Nick's guts from all over the park! / Ki: Wait a sec. You said that Gem was susceptible to sonic vibrations?
/ Nick: Very high frequency ones, yes.
/ Ki: Then why don't you, Dex, and The Speck hold that guy down, while Sharon tries to use this power to shatter the Gem? / Nick: Brilliant, Ki! Dex? Speck?
/ Dexter and the Inexplicable Speck!, in unison: On it! / [[While Nick and Dexter fly at the Warmonger, the Inexplicable Speck! wraps his stretchy arms around him to try to knock down the Warmonger again.]] http://www.gpf-comics.com/d/20050502.html |
| GPF Archive: Tuesday, May 3, 2005 | Ki: Sharon, try to scream at as high a pitch as you can! Keep changing it until the Gem begins to break!
/ Sharon: I'll try... / [[Nick, Dexter, and the Inexplicable Speck! now have the Warmonger restrained. Sharon begins to scream, sending out sonic waves.]]
/ Ki, off-screen: Higher, Sharon! Higher!
/ Nick: I can't hear it, but I can definitely *feel* it!
/ Dexter: My ears are going to start bleeding! / Nick: Hang in there, Dex! He's struggling to break free!
/ Dexter: Can't hold him much longer... Nick, look! The Gem! / [[The Mobius Wave Gem shatters.]] / [[And the Warmonger's battle suit flies to pieces, exposing the Warmonger within. He is an ordinary-looking man - and dressed in nuttin' but his skivvies.]]
/ Warmonger: Oh, crap. http://www.gpf-comics.com/d/20050503.html |
| GPF Archive: Wednesday, May 4, 2005 | [[The crisis is past. Ki helps Sharon, who is worn out and clutching at her throat.]]
/ Ki: You did it, Sharon!
/ Sharon, faintly: yeah...
/ [[The Inexplicable Speck! retracts his stretchy arms, while Nick holds the now-unsuited and defeated Warmonger by the throat.]]
/ Nick: And you, Nermil Fisk, are going back to Latchgate Prison!
/ Warmonger: Heh, ya *know* I was only fookin' with ya, A.I.M.? Right? / [[Fooker is still lying on the ground, knocked out from the Warmonger's blast.]]
/ Sharon: foo... ker...
/ Ki: You sit down and rest. I'll make sure he's okay...
/ Sharon: no... must see... for myself... / [[Fooker sits up, holding his head.]]
/ Fooker: Ngh... Did anybody get the number of that space shuttle that ran over me?
/ [[Sharon hugs him joyfully.]]
/ Sharon: he's okay!
/ Ki: Well, a few singed hairs here and there, but otherwise he seems fine. / [[In the background, Nick flies off carrying the Warmonger.]]
/ Fooker, to Sharon: Have you been singing karaoke with Ki again? Your voice sounds terrible...
/ Dexter: Well, after Nick gets back from taking that guy back to prison, *then* what do we do?
/ The Inexplicable Speck!: If you ask me, even if it *isn't* super hero crossover tradition, I say we party our cowls off! http://www.gpf-comics.com/d/20050504.html |
| GPF Archive: Thursday, May 5, 2005 | [[Back at A.I.M. headquarters...]]
/ 1st voice: So your "day job" is to be a college professor? And it was your doctorate thesis project that gave you your powers?
/ The Inexplicable Speck!: Yep, and you'll never guess who the dean made chief lab safety officer... / The Inexplicable Speck!: I mean, you blow up half the building and miraculously survive, and they put you in charge of safety as punishment. The dean's got one wild sense of humor.
/ [[Everyone is back into regular clothes now, except the Speck! He has removed his cowl, and now sports large rectangular glasses.]] / Sharon: What possessed you to become a super hero?
/ The Inexplicable Speck!: Eh... I figured if I had these strange abilities, I might as well put them to good use.
/ The Inexplicable Speck!: I've met my share of bad seeds, and this world -- well, *my* world -- is screwed up enough as it is. If one person can make a difference, and that one person has to be *me,* then I'll do whatever I can to make things right.
/ The Inexplicable Speck!: It's bought me a lot of enemies, on *both* sides of the law. But I'd rather be called a vigilante than watch innocent bystanders get hurt. / The Inexplicable Speck!: Personally, I'm more fascinated by this virtual reality turned interdimensional transport thing Nick created. You had no idea that *this* universe was real?
/ Nick: Not really. I thought I *created* Absolutely Incredible Man; I hadn't even considered an alternate reality may exist where he and the others were really *real.* / Nick: Obviously, I'll have to check my notes when we get back. Fortunately, I have a mechanism that will let us return home at any time.
/ The Inexplicable Speck!: Well... At least you guys *can* go back... http://www.gpf-comics.com/d/20050505.html |
| GPF Archive: Friday, May 6, 2005 | Dexter: Hey! Maybe we can take the Speck with us! Once he's in *our* world, we can use the MUTEX to find his world and send him home!
/ Nick: I... don't know if that will really work, Dex. / Nick: While there *is* a sixth helmet, I don't know how the transfer would affect him. Our appearances changed upon entering this world; would he change too? Would he become human? Would he shrink to the size of a normal flea? The variables are too numerous to even speculate.
/ The Inexplicable Speck!: Turning human... (shudder) / Nick: While I certainly *want* to help our new friend, I'm not sure how much help we can really be.
/ The Inexplicable Speck!: Actually...
/ [[The Speck! turns and sees the Gamester in the doorway. Ki has turned and looks at the Speck!, but does not see the Gamester.]] / The Inexplicable Speck!: I think I know of a way I can get back. But I appreciate your efforts. I hope you guys get back to your own worlds without any problems.
/ Nick: How do you think you can really get home?
/ The Inexplicable Speck!: It... would take a little too long to explain... / The Inexplicable Speck!: Let's just say I know where to hitch a ride. See you around the cosmos!
/ Dexter: "Hitch a ride?" http://www.gpf-comics.com/d/20050506.html |
| GPF Archive: Saturday, May 7, 2005 | Gamester: "Hitch a ride?" When did I become the taxi service of the cosmos?
/ The Inexplicable Speck!: Since when did you get sloppy and start leaving dimensional portals open for just anyone to step through?
/ Gamester: Let's just say I was momentarily distracted. But that doesn't amount to an open invitation to go universe hopping. / Gamester: Fortunately, neither you nor they caused any significant damage to _this_ universe. Your influence on _them_ could prove problematic in the future, however.
/ The Inexplicable Speck!: Next time, put a big "Do Not Enter" sign up with bold, red letters on it.
/ Gamester: With _your_ curiosity? That would serve only as further encouragement. / The Inexplicable Speck!: Will they get back okay? I'm starting to like those guys ...
/ Gamester: I'll ensure they return safely. Nick's invention, to my dismay, works better than he suspects. / The Inexplicable Speck!: What about that other problem you were working on? The one with that "Todd" guy, who I assume is this Nick's son?
/ Gamester: Mischief is handling it now. That, however, is none of your con-- / [[Ki sees the the Trickster through the doorway]] / The Inexplicable Speck!: What? What's going on?
/ Gamester: Just pausing time for a bit. Someone saw more than she was supposed to see... http://www.gpf-comics.com/d/20050507.html |

/ Fooker: Yeah, it's getting late. We should head home. / Sharon: Just keep those pseudopods to yourself in the car.
/ Fred: Um, okay... Though I wasn't planning on getting fresh with you anyhow... / Nick: Here they are. All I ask is that you take extra special care of them. These are my only copies.
/ Dexter: Not to worry... / Dexter: I'll read them wearing my comic reading gloves and only under special fade-resistant lighting.

We can actually accelerate our plans! / Trish thinks: Unfortunately, I fear Nick is becoming suspicious of me. I must proceed with caution.

/ Ki: I'm sorry... I still feel like I'm missing something. / Ki: I wish I could explain it. There was something I heard... or saw... right before we came back. It was important, I know that. But I can't remember for the life of me. / Nick: Well, if it's important, you'll remember it eventually.
/ Ki: I... suppose so. Still, it does remind me of something else. / Ki: You know I love you, and I support you in everything you try to do. But... I want you to stop working on the Mutex. At least for a while. http://www.gpf-comics.com/d/20050512.html |
| GPF Archive: Friday, May 13, 2005 | Nick: You want me to step away from it for a while, like the last time?
/ Ki: I'm... thinking something a bit more permanent. / Ki: Something about this trip reminded me of a warning a... *friend* gave me once, and I'm afraid the Mutex may be what he was worried about.
/ Nick: Who--? / Ki: I don't want you to dismantle it or destroy your notes. I just want you to unplug it and forget about it for a while. Let's concentrate on the wedding, and maybe later we can play with it again. / Nick: Well... if it bothers you that much... okay.
/ [[Ki hugs him]]
/ Ki: Thanks. http://www.gpf-comics.com/d/20050513.html |
| GPF Archive: Saturday, May 14, 2005 | Ki: You're not mad that I asked you to forget the Mutex for a while, are you?
/ Nick: Mad? Nah. But I am curious as to why you're so concerned. / Ki: This trip wasn't like the previous ones. There was a sense of *real* danger this time. If we hadn't stopped that villain, someone could have been hurt, or worse. / Nick: Well, Sharon's right. The Mutex *is* more powerful, and we've been treating it like an amusement park ride. Next time, we should approach it more cautiously, and with better preparedness. / Nick: "Next time" meaning "some time after the wedding," of course.

/ Fooker: Um, howdy. / Kyle: We must keep close tabs on this one, Alice.
/ Alice: Yes, if he mistreats our Sharon, we must ensure the body is never found... just like the others. / Kyle: Ha! Look at his face! He fell for that one hook, line, and sinker!
/ Alice: Oh, Kyle! You're such a kidder!
/ Fooker: Help? http://www.gpf-comics.com/d/20050518.html |
| GPF Archive: Thursday, May 19, 2005 | Nick: Do you live around here, Mr. Murphy?
/ Kyle: No, we live upstate. We usually only come down to visit Sharon. / Ki: So is this just a social call?
/ Alice: Yes and no. We were planning a visit soon, but something sped up our plans. / Sharon: What's up, Mom?
/ Alice: Well, I wanted to call you first, but your father wanted to surprise you. / Alice: The court finally unsealed the records. Now you can find out who your real birth parents are.
