BHOC: INVADERS #38

INVADERS was a series on a downward slope, and much closer to cancellation that I realized as a regular reader. I could tell that something was off about the book, but I was so invested in the Golden Age as a concept and in the formative versions of these characters, like the Justice Society of America over at DC, that I never allowed it to puncture my enthusiasm for the series. INVADERS was a…

Ok so what if Magolor Nova and Crowned Marx

Amusingly, I just ran into this discussion about Galactic Nova that's totally relevant here: It brought up "Why did Nova fly menacingly toward Popstar after Marx made his wish?" Because it fulfilled Meta's wish without moving an inch.

Their theory was Galactic Nova needed the stars of the milky way to use its full power. When the stars bailed to help Kirby, Nova lost a significant chunk of wish-granting power. The best it could do for Marx was just do whatever it was doing. (Collide with Popstar?)

I bring this up because this means as long as Magolor still made others do his handiwork, he'd suffer the same fate as Marx did if he stole a wish from Nova. The star would de-power itself because he wasn't the person who summoned it. With that out of the way, let's talk BOSS FIGHTS and THE AFTERMATH!

[Descriptions + sketches below. CW: Disturbing imagery warning for Marx's fight. Magolor's defeat too, actually.

Magolor + Galactic Nova

For Magolor, once Nova starts to power down (immediately before the boss fight) he almost immediately gives up on it fulfilling the rest of his wish and uses his (now Nova-boosted) magic power and starts disassembling the clockwork star, which rests in the distant background of the battle as a creepy, mechanical skeletal husk.

He uses his magic to morph its detached parts into various physical enhancements/weapons for himself. Breaking the compass off to telekinetically fling around like a pair of spears or forming a giant fist to hit you with out of the piano keys, managing to wield them all at once with multiple powerful magic circles. Meanwhile he's removed chunks of the Nova's face to use as protective armor swirling around himself as he faces off against Kirby.

(This battle would be pseudo-3D/1st-person, most closely resemble the battle with Star Dream and with Void Termina, as you're trying to get close enough to Magolor while facing off against a barrage of weaponized Nova parts.)

Unlike Marx, who goes haywire and crashes into Nova and explodes, the end goal of the fight with Magolor is about wearing him and his magic down so that Nova can take its parts back, re-assembling itself slowly in the background the more punishment you inflict on Magolor. This reaches its denoument with a tired Magolor competing against Nova's own gravitational pull to maintain some control of his clockwork armor until a stubborn Magolor loses the struggle and is sucked backwards into Nova, ending up being bricked up INSIDE the restored (now quietly ticking away) clock.

A Post-Nova "friendly" Magolor returns as something of a part-Nova cyborg. A clockwork Magolor replica, made of plated metal and springs. This (implied horrifying) experience hasn't changed his personality in the slightest, however.

--

Marx + The Master Crown

As for Marx, his first phase goes all in on the idea of fusing "the jester" and "the king." Much like how Magolor did, he experiences a dramatic makeover once he dons the dreaded diadem. His accessories become larger, more fanciful, and more gaudy.

This Marx is glutted on crown-fueled greed and thrills to kick back and be the one who runs the show. His fight is not a brawl but a full on trick boss, like Squashini in Epic Yarn, only ramped up to 11.

Marx spends this phase chilling in the background, watching and giggling as he uses the crown's limitless magic power to make YOU into the fool, having you jump through impossible (flaming) hoops in his deadly show and laughing maniacally when Kirby takes any damage. He gets bored though, and eventually, angry enough to leave his safe perch once you destroy enough of his tricks.

When you overpower him with the Ultra Sword, just like with Magolor, the Master Crown shows its true colors, turning against Marx just like it turned against Magolor.

The fight then turns into a nightmare version of "The Greatest Living Show" with the Master Crown transforming/taking over Marx's fun little stage and extending its tendrils into long golden meat hooks it sinks into Marx, flinging and slinging him at Kirby, ripping Marx in two and trying to smoosh you with the two halves.

It uses the thorned horns from Magolor's fight like scissors, cutting his "strings" loose then grabbing him from a different angle to signify a different attack pattern/phase of the fight.

Post-Crown Marx, like canon Magolor, begins to show some personality changes after his awful experience, steering away from tricks that hurt or upset people and focusing more on being a sassy entertainer. As for physical changes, he doesn't have scars from the crown's tight grip like Magolor (...is often HC'd to have...) but the rips and tears in his body from the crown pulling him apart persist, only they're filled in with gold now, like a piece of kintsugi pottery.

BHOC: INVADERS #37

Picked up this next issue of INVADERS when it put in an appearance at the 7-11 which was my regular Thursday destination spot for new comic books. The title was still a favorite even though it wasn’t at its best any longer, a situation that would continue until its eventual demise in only a couple short months. This particular issue wrapped up a three-part epic guest-starring the Liberty Legion,…

To the AO3 hackers I say this:

Smut!

Give me smut and nothing but!

A dirty novel I can′t shut

If it's uncut And unsubt- le

I′ve never quibbled If it was ribald

I would devour

where others merely nibbled

As the judge remarked

the day that he

Acquitted my Aunt Hortense

"To be smut It must be ut- Terly without redeeming social importance."

Por- Nographic pictures I adore

Indecent magazines galore

I like them more If they're hard core

(Bring on the obscene movies,

murals, postcards, neckties

Samplers, stained-glass windows, tattoos, anything!

More, more, I′m still not satisfied!)

Stories of tortures

Used by debauchers

Lurid, licentious, and vile

Make me smile

Novels that pander

To my taste for candor

Give me a pleasure sublime

(Let's face it, I love slime.)

All books can be indecent books

Though recent books are bolder

For filth (I′m glad to say) is in

The mind of the beholder

When correctly viewed

Everything is lewd

(I could tell you things about Peter Pan And the Wizard of Oz, there's a dirty old man!)

I thrill To any book like Fanny Hill

And I suppose I always will If it is swill And really fil Thy

Who needs a hobby like tennis or philately?

I've got a hobby: rereading Lady Chatterley

But now they′re trying to take it all

Away from us unless

We take a stand, and hand in hand

We fight for freedom of the press

In other words Smut! (I love it)

Ah, the adventures of a slut

Oh, I′m a market they can't glut

I don′t know what

Compares with smut

Hip hip hooray!

Let's hear it for the Supreme Court!

Don′t let them take it away!
