Friday Night Fights: KAPOW!! - Round 11: Super-Smackdown, Part Deux

The art of omomatopoetic combat is a skill passed from generation to generation. Just as Bruce has taught Dick in the dojo of Aparo, so has Kal taught Kara in the dojo of Swan.


Let's see how well she's learned her lessons.


The scene below comes from Superman#313, "The Only Way You'll Save The Earth Is Over My Dead Body", by Martin Pasko, Curt Swan, and Dan Adkins. Here, a Superman villain called Amalak has successfully captured Supergirl and used her as a hostage to escape Superman.

Or at least he thinks he has.



"Klik" is not a sound you want to hear when you're about to kill Supergirl with your big, bad gun. Especially if it's coming from your big, bad gun.

Why?


Because this usually comes next:





WHAAMM!


Today's lesson from Spacebooger: Don't count out your Supergirls before they're whacked.
