I think Mindmistress thinks the HUniverse is an interesting place to visit, but she wouldn't want to live there…she has had nothing but bad luck since she came there.

A lot of Mindmistress' crossovers started as fan art. I used to send out fan art that would usually have Mindmistress meeting the other person's character, usually with humorous results. The Dasien/Mindmistress relationship started because of this fanart, which we later tooled into a CROSSOVERLORD page here. Similarly, I imagined a meeting between Energize and Mindmistress, and thought to myself–electrically-charged, massively powerful hero shakes hand with woman in metal armor. Lightning Lad shaking hands with Iron Man, came to mind…with shocking results. Ouch!

Then the dialogue just wrote itself, and I sent the fan art…with a still-smoking Mindmistress muttering double-entendres after recovering from a painful handshake from Energize…to Nepath.

…Who I don't believe ever used it. *Grin*

So…I retooled it for this.

It's kind of funny—given her personality, you wouldn't think Mindmistress would lend herself to funny lines–but there's something in her dry delivery that just cries out for humor. Most humor these days is of the DUMB AND DUMBER variety…to have protagonists who are totally clueless. But I think the best humor has at least one character who is very, very smart. So she can be Jeeves to someone else's Bertie Wooster, Dr. Gregory House to whatever hapless patient he's treating at the moment.

Where is Mindmistress taking Energize via her "catwalk"?

You'll get the answer the week after this coming one. First, we have some unfinished business at the HUniverse, Tuesday and Thursday of next week…

…Which is also next year. Happy New Year! Thanks for reading!
