I don’t even know anything about the source material for the reference, except a vague idea that it’s from… Pokemon? I think? And even I knew that that was going to be the first response.
Meh. Nothing to do with British heroes. More names in general in English start with ‘J’ than any other letter for some reason. Weird because it’s a relatively uncommon letter everywhere else except at the beginning of names.
Pretty much all the names that start with “j” are biblical in origin; all the yods in the Hebrew became i/js in Latin (since those were just different forms of the same letter) and ended up as js in English. And that’s why English can’t spell names like Yeshua and Yakov correctly.
I really like the posing of Sal/Joyce in that last panel – gets a lot across with not many lines, and the anatomy is a step up from this period’s standard. Well drawn, Past Willis!
(Although Sal’s arm-cuff thingy seems to have turned into a Mike between panels…)

IT’S SUPER EFFECTIVE.
How did I know that was going to be the first response regardless of who made the comment.

SAL is confused…
she hurt herself in her confusion!
Wait a sec
He’s British.
He wears a bow tie
He has no powers but fights alongside people who do
He had blonde hair.
Now am I talking about Jason or Jeff?
I thought you were talking about The Doctor.
James Bond could also work
Also whats up with all the british heros whos names start with J
James
Jeff
Jason
and the doctors alias is John Smith
Not all. There’s V, from “V for Vendetta”. His name starts with ‘V’.

Who’s Jeff?
awww
Mike used random appear!
And Joyce’s gun disappeared. Clearly, the gun is a pokeball, and Joyce had captured Mike in a futile attempt to tame him.
So what you’re saying is Mike’s a Pokemon
He knows Mach Punch, Taunt, and Happy Hour (he uses the prize money to pay your mum)
You forgot Scary Face.
And Leer. Don’t forget Leer.
I just had to let Mike join in on this touching moment. :’)

She’s been alienated by an alien!
It was super effective!
well, Mike is here to make sure you feel what your mom felt when he banged her last night for a nickel
so, y’know
there’s that
Mike only shows up once he realizes there’s misery to entertain himself with
Awww!
Ha! What a lovely punchline… 😀
“You know what always makes me feel better? Jumping through windows. Lets go!”

Wait, how did Sal, Mike and Jason free themselves?
Machine malfunctioned when Head Alien was thrown into it, and did an emergency release before failing completely.
Heh, “alienation”. Geddit?
HAH, “alienation”.
Is… is Mike showing actual emotion in that last panel?
