Well what do we have here? It would seem that another player has entered the game: the mysterious man from Super Oil (not to be confused with Big Oil, home of the notorious Driller). Until his identity becomes known, I shall call him Derrick (at last, the chance to use something useful from High School :D). But who is this Derrick? That remains to be seen, but I would keep an eye on him for he could be more powerful than his two-tone suit lets on (Two-Face, is that you?) Why the suspicion? Consider for a moment the fact that his telephone has neither buttons nor a dial. How is he supposed to make calls? Perhaps it's some sort of telepathic telephone, and if that is the case, there is no plan that Tracy can make that he won't know. It remains to be seen whether he uses his powers for good or evil, but he does know that Angelorious got the wrong formula, which leads me to believe that he may be controlling her mind as a way to get his hands on the fuel formula. (It's a great plan, after all, for if something does go wrong, all he has to do is sever his connection with her. There would be no evidence of the connection, and no court would convict him.)Turning back to the comic, we pick up where we left off: Angelorious sneaking into Dr. Noll's lab and Tracy hiding in the shadows. (We can also assume that Dr. Noll is still lying on the floor, pretending to the dead, and probably turning blue from having to hold his breath for so long, thereby inching ever closer to moving from playing dead to being dead.) Sensing that the doctor is in trouble, Tracy leaps into action and squirts Angelorious in the face with the same perfume that only comics before Tess thought had smelled funny and was also said to have burned one of the neighborhood ladies. (Tracy, you knowingly squirted her with that. Whereas Derrick has nothing to worry about in court, I'm afraid that you do.) Carrying on the tradition of previous surprised people, Angelorious utters the immortal, "YI!" In this case, the positioning of the exclamation even makes it look like she's wearing a tiara, or has been transformed into Captain YI! by the attack. It remains to be seen what will happen to Angelorious as a result of the attack, whether her face will be scarred, whether she will be blinded, or whether nothing will happen since she seems to be made of clay, so any damage could be fixed with a little water. I'm also going to go out on a limb and say that the attack was all Angelorious' fault. She should never have packaged the perfume in a squeeze bottle. That's just too tempting for anyone to resist using.
