Whoa! Someone played an Uno Reverse card in this fight!
Also, this was a learning experience for Matt. The eye poke and groin strike are two of his staple combat moves when he becomes a sidekick later in life. This is his first experience with them. In fact, fighting a robot with stretchy arms is probably fairly similar to the fighting style he is currently using with the Green energy ropes against Sparta.
I guess this really is Generic Kung-Fu Superhero Sidekick's origin story.
I have never been "wedgied" before, so I don't know if it actually hurts or if it's just a humiliation tactic for the bullies to use. Anyone know? Matt received the full four-hit: wedgie, eye poke, groin strike, toe stomp combo. All in a single frame. Even a toon from Who Framed Roger Rabbit can't take that kind of punishment.
**HIVENOTE: **Hive users, the next paragraph does not apply to you. I am launching a new site, but the only content there is the same content that I already post with every panel of Real Superheroines. So all the commentary with each panel that is already available for free just by being here on the blockchain, I am making available outside of HIVE as a value add.
For those who have been paying attention to the Kickman page, you hopefully saw the announcement about the Real Superheroines LIVE! site that is now up. New Real Superheroine panels will be published EVERY DAY! Well, except for days like today, when Java or Kickman is broadcasting and using up all of my internets. Announcement, link and password are all here: https://kickmancomic.mattslawblog.com/2026/02/real-superheroines-live/
Finally, for anyone tracking my location, the morning this goes live I will be starting a new two-dog sit in Agua Dulce, California. I've got me a couple of Australian Cattle Dogs to play with for the next week. Don't forget to watch the timelapse video all the way to the end for the surprise ending...
Boilerplate:
