Balancing Comics and reality

In deciding what the ultimate threat would be for The Midnight Hour I had to come up with something that would be much like the character of Mr. Midnight himself, somewhat cartoony with a good touch of realism. The motion inhibitor become that threat. A machine that is able to emit rays that can freeze people solid for a period of time. imagine what a crime lord like Mr. Midnight could do with a weapon like that. For the book I also came up with two types of the motion inhibitors. One was handheld and more like a ray gun, and able to stun only one person at a time. The other was the massive inhibitor of chapter 18 that is able to freeze a giant section of the population at once. In creating the inhibitor I also had to decide how this weapon would effect Titan. It obviously had to have a negative impact to him but also be different from how it effected everyone else. I really loved how Megan was able to bring the handheld inhibitor t life in her illustration for chapter 9: Sunset Showdown.
