The Posthuman Project Page #6

Let's go.

Who are you guys, anyway?

Huh?

Tell me.

Sir, they are contained.

Heading towards you now.

Who's that you're

talking to, huh?

Is that my Uncle?

Tell me!

Say good night, kiddo.

Lisa.

Gwen.

You're awake.

What did you do to her?

Just ran some tests.

I swear, If you hurt her

in any way

I'm gonna...

You'll what?

You'll healed me!

We were unsure what

the postman energy

would do to your body.

And after your little

outburst in the operating room

I decided to give

you some distance.

And to make sure you

weren't going to be

like your father and...

Ka-boom!

My father?

Oh.

He never told you

what happened?

How he crippled you?

His own son.

Dad!

Postman zero,

one in 25 billion.

Your father is a...

True anomaly.

Your father possessed

great power.

I was there the first time

it manifested.

Wait, what was that?

Oh, maybe...

Maybe it was the boogeyman.

Ooh!

Kevin, I'm serious,

I heard something.

Oh, come on, It's probably

some kid just playing pranks.

It's Halloween,

you're just spooking yourself.

You sure?

Sure, I'm sure.

And, hey, If it was the

boogeyman, let him come.

I'll always protect you,

little brother.

Kevin!

Kevin's body didn't

know what to do

with the zero energy so it

violently expelled it.

Your father very nearly

killed a young boy that night.

Aah!

I wanted to experiment on him.

See how far these

abilities could go.

He refused.

He would hide his talents,

no matter the cost.

So I travelled the world,

recruiting like-minded

individuals to help me.

And we began a worldwide hunt

for potential

postman candidates.

We drained the

gene pool of those

who did not match our needs.

And then,

i heard about your accident.

I reached out to Kevin,

offered help, guidance.

He took me at my word.

The fool.

We built this to

contain Kevin's energies

in hope that we might

be able to replicate it

in someone else.

Unfortunately,

because of my own

problems

it was not me.

It was me.

What none of us

could've anticipated

was that the zero energy

filtered through you

and into your friends,

giving each one of them

different abilities.

So... So what you're saying

is you all turned me

and my friends

into super people?

Not for very long.

With the advancements

that we've made

in studying you

and your friends

as well as developing

my own cocktail,

I can siphon

the zero energy into me.

Cocktail?

My own special mix.

It allows my body to

process the zero energy.

And then what?

Rule the world?

No.

Nothing so silly.

If America is to

have Posthumans,

so should any country

who wants to defend themselves.

So you're gonna start

a super power cold war

and sell yourself to

the highest bidder?

And here I thought Archie

was the smart one.

It all just comes down

to money.

You're just a simple conman.

But I'll be an

exceptionally rich,

intelligent,

and dangerous conman, Denny.

The man I've strived to be.

Unfortunately,

we're not entirely sure

what the transference process

will do to you teenagers.

Death is a possibility.

Start with the cheerleader.

Wait! No!

Lisa!

Working.

Give me more.

Sir, If we turn up the

machine, we might kill her.

The man asked for more.

Okay.

You can't always do

what you want.

Find him!

What?

I saw this on YouTube.

Archie, turn off the machine.

Stay away from

the control panel, young man.

I think I killed the off switch

when I hit that guy.

Get Lisa free.

That's really...

Ah!

Oh, what a shame.

Basketball stars' careers

go with a bang.

Sleeping beauty's not

even awake to see it.

Guess who woke up.

Ah!

You okay?

Sure. Typical weekend

for me, you know.

So,

after we save the world

and all,

you think maybe

you and I could, you know...

Yeah. Yeah!

Yeah?

Yeah! We definitely could.

Cool.

So, you wanna...

Or we could...

We should...

Go search the perimeter.

Yes! Totally, yes!

Search the perimeter.

We gotta find a place for

everyone to get out of here.

How'd you find us?

We snuck in and followed

everyone else.

Heard about Uncle Billy's

mad sciency plan.

Is she...

She's dead.

Where is my brother?

Denny! Where's dad?

Dad left.

Four, five, six. Again.

Hey, guys, we could really

use some help out there.

Arch, go with him.

What... What am I supposed to do?

I can't stop what I'm doing.

Here.

Those steel bindings were...

You tore through them like

they were coke cans.

You've got strength now,

Archie.

The bad guys get in our path,

Denny, I'm sorry for

being such an ass...

Language, buddy. Now go.

Lisa, I need you to wake up.

I never got to tell you

that... I... I need you.

I never got to tell you

when we were together.

And you picked me up

when I was at my lowest,

when I was ready to give up.

And I'll never forgive myself

for letting you break up with me

and all that stupid stuff

that happened afterwards.

So can... Can you just

wake up for me

so that I can tell you all that?

Come on, Lisa. Come on. Wake up.

Wake up. Wake up.

Five. Four...

Ugh!

Back for more?

Hey, were you gonna

ask me on a date back there?

Oh, well maybe If you play

your cards right.

Aah!

Are you all right?

Arch.

I just caught a bullet.

There should be

a hole in my hand.

I just caught a bullet.

Watch this.

Gwen, now.

Please. Please, Lisa, wake up.

I would give anything for you

to wake up right now. Come on.

We still have energy in us

come on, Lisa, If I have

to give up everything I will.

There's so much

energy in us

there's so much

energy in us

It worked.

Denny. Denny.

I heard you. Wherever

I was, I heard you.

I love you.

I love you.

Yo, we got to go.

Somebody triggered

the self-destruct sequence.

Help me walk.

- You're alive!

- What happened?

Long story.

Okay, so, Uncle Billy needs

his next fix of zero energy

but he couldn't get it from us.

But dad went after him, too,

so where else could he have...

Oh.

Yeah.

Oh?

What do you mean Oh?

He went where he knew

there was spare zero energy.

Back where it all started.

Are you sure you

want to do this?

I mean, you saw those roads,

this is now the only

way up the Mountain.

We're the only ones

who can stop Uncle Billy.

No one else can.

Adam, do you think you can

teleport Denny up the Mountain?

No, no,

it doesn't work like that.

I tried to carry

Archie earlier,

but I can't take

other people with me.

Come on.

Okay, this is the fastest way.

Dude, you don't have any gear.

It doesn't matter,

Archie's going to carry me.

I'm gonna what?

But I've never even

climbed before.

Why is the Mountain there?

So it can be conquered, but...

Dude, you're basically

superman right now.

You got this.

And I'll be with you.

I'll coach you

every step of the way.

I need your help.

Sometimes the older brother's

gotta lean on the younger one.

All right.

Got him?

Yeah. He's pretty light.

Of course he is when

you're so strong.

You are such a cheerleader.

Right, I'm gonna be all

over this cliff face.
