Human Target

What is more concerning and more frightening is the girl's strange behavior.

Miles away in the Beacon Hill district of Boston, Alfred pays a call to Christopher Chance, an adventurer also known as the Human Target.

Chance's specialty is the ability to perfectly impersonate anyone who may be in fear for their life.

And Alfred has come to hire him to impersonate his employer, Bruce Wayne.

It's kind of almost subliminal way to let you know that, Hey, this is kind of in, well, you know, it's in flashback because we actually, we kind of see things out of sequential order because when we first see Robin, he's already tied to the chair and, Uh, and then, you know, we get to see brief flashback of their courtship.

And then, you know, the night, I mean, it's earlier this night where he decides on impulse to, you know, get in his costume, get on his Robin cycle, fall over to spooky mansion and stick her out and sneak in and then get conked on the head.

Meanwhile, Alfred is feeling very guilty about going behind Bruce Wayne's back and hiring the human target to impersonate him and order the throw off Vicki Vale from discovering and disclosing his secret identity.

I am not following the storyline closely at all.

The procedural format actively destroyed the narrative momentum that Matt Ryan's performance was trying to build.

And the most egregious, baffling example of the Trojan horse failing is a character named Christopher Chance, the Human Target.

The networks actually tried this twice.

Twice.

In 1992 on ABC, they did a version that had a really cool Mission Impossible meets Quantum Leap gimmick.

Christopher Chance's power was that he was an absolute master of disguise.

He would take on the physical appearance of his clients to protect them from assassins.

The '92 show had great makeup effects, but the writing was wooden and predictable, so it failed.

Um, I think people should really know...

I, I don't think you're gonna see a ton of him, but I think people should understand how Christopher Chance works, just 'cause he's relatively new, but on the right team is really, really, really effective.

So the question that came up-

Yeah, that.

Yeah.

So the question was, uh, my game is human target, that's how it's played.

So as, uh, Christopher Chance is a standard character, other friendly characters in the four squares can use shape change, but succeed on a four through six when they use it, and since Christopher Chance becomes the only target of that attack, even it would be an illegal target of protected pulse wave.

The question was, can the shape change granted to other characters be used during pulse wave because it is granted by a power that has protected pulse wave? And yes, that does continue.

Dream Ruby, Godkiller Sword.

He's got Christopher Chance with the Avatar of Animal Man, Eddie Munson with the Ring of TK, and the Fenix.

Fortify, I Must Have It, Speckled Armor, Animal Man, and the Mimic.

And his train markers were Heart-Shaped Herb, Symbiote Surface, and the Upper Body.

So Christopher Chance gets four through six shape change for that Dream Ruby.

Yep, Christopher Chance is also carrying around the Heart-Shaped Herb basically the whole time.

Standing next to Collector.

And then, so you have the 4-6 rollout.

Oh, here's the wrong answer.

Christopher Chance, the prime for Fight for Gotham City.

My game is a human target.

This is how it's played.

Christopher Chance isn't a standard character.

Fine.

Other friendly characters within four squares can use shape change but succeed on a four through six.

When they use it and succeed, Christopher Chance becomes the only target of that attack, even if he would be an illegal target.
