What Has Gone Before:
Wyatt Ferguson, a frequent ally of Powernauts, finds himself on the Jersey shore of the northeastern United States after terrorists flood New York City. A team of superhumans from the extradimensional realm of Hypergaard link up with him. They have been watching as other superhero teams - with many self-proclaimed Powernauts - converge upon the city.

I've been asked, "What actually happened to everyone when the Powernaut was summoned in #12? And why?" As you know, everyone on that battlefield who had Powernaut powers had collapsed. At the time, I was able to make a quick battlefield observation. The scientist S.O.S. had said, Powernauts can't share power. Given these Powernauts had all collapsed, I guessed he was spectacularly right. Knowing what I learned later, I'd say the original Powernaut went into shock after his resurrection. And resurrection it was; he'd been discorporated. His shock cascaded into everyone who had shared his power, because they'd been recently linked. What caused that shock? Apparently he really wanted a "Paula" to meet him. About which, more with the next strip. |

Just before the original Powernaut went into shock, he was asking for some kind of "Paula". Assuming Powernaut comics are true to life, that's almost certainly the woman who was with him at the time he was discorporated. That woman was discorporated also. Other people of course have other theories about "Paula". S.O.S. himself said on TV, "Paula" was probably Paula Page, the woman who was with Jeff Goldblatt on the beach the same time the Powernaut was. Perhaps the Powernaut was trying to rescue them both - but he felt most urgent about Paula. |
