So, exactly how hot is Mavara?
In fact...
Kid goes to confront her...
But she doesn't care about Kid's admonitions...
However, even though Cyrano is good at fighting off thugs, even he can't resist Mavara's charms:
Well, there's not much our duo can do about her. So they leave but follow her in visibly, hoping to catch her red-handed in a crime.
Because, of course, it's ten minutes before she is using her wiles to get some dupe to open his safe:
But it doesn't take him too long to tumble upon the truth:
So Kid plays dirty.
Look, if we can have the trope where a woman is irresistible to men, than I suppose it's only fair to turn the tables, and have a man who is irresistible to the ladies. So, nice reversal.
But what's the point of this?
Yes, Kid got her to confess by making her fall in love with Romeo, and then having him dump her as soon as she does.

From Kid Eternity #6 (1947)
I have this issue! Enjoyable silliness!
ReplyDeleteI do have to wonder how calling upon a collective like "Rogers' Rangers" works...as you said, he couldn't summon the entire force, but were these members chosen randomly, alphabetically, or what?
Kid, if the villain is a woman who seduces men, try requesting women from Eternity.
ReplyDeleteErich--fair question. It's not the first time Kid has called on a collective, and as we'll see, it's far from the last time.
ReplyDeleteRequired--Kid is often not terribly clever (or woke) about whom he calls. But he was canny enough to call Romeo to seduce Mavara, so...
He's still an entertainingly dim buttinsky in the end. Another Kid Eternity adventure is a wrap.
