I don’t care what you say, this is the single greatest comic panel of all time and nothing can convince me otherwise.
@skittering-roach This has to have context, right?
It sure do!
I’m not going to do the issue any justice with this explanation cuz I haven’t read it in forever, but basically, there was a point when Kon lost his powers and was kinda bummed (both about that and some other issues). So Impulse and Secret teamed up to try to figure out how they could get Kon’s powers back, despite Kon flat out telling them that he did not want them to do this.
Most of the issue they keep trying to get his powers back by putting him through a bunch of classic origin story scenarios, which only get him hurt/sick, and then they try to replicate Barry Allens origin by dumping “chemicals” on him (I believe they couldn’t find chemicals, so just used paint and a bunch of random garbage liquids) then nearly electrocuted him.
Kon decided enough is enough and pinned Impulse down (since he was the one who came up with the idea) and tries to force him to eat sushi, as both a kind of payback and showing him how annoying it is when someone keeps trying to force you to do something you don’t want to do.
Also, the sushi was from a previous plan of theirs, which involved him eating one with a spider in it to get spider powers.
