One of my better attributes as a sequential writer is my ability to create subplots. Here in this one strip I have introduced several: the first super-powered villain, who has history of some sort with Silence, and some interesting background about her (he calls her “Princess”, which implies she may be royalty of some sort.

Who’m I to shake up the status quote? And yes, this is the 4th time the words “crap in a hat” have been uttered, by four different characters: the Janitor, Sandstorm, Stonewall, and now Silence. Sooner or later I anticipate everyone saying it.
Honestly, didn’t you just KNOW this was going to happen?
The “Whazzaaaaaaaap?” is a reference to Budweiser commercials from a few years ago. It doesn’t matter exactly who is calling Stonewall yet – odds are it’s either Slick or Stretch.
Here at The Adventures of the S-Team, we strive for top-tier, sophisticated humor. Phrases like “my back teeth are floating” are very unlikely to be seen. What? Oh, crap in a hat…
