  1. The comment about freezing time reminds me of an old Batgirl villain, a crimelord called the Velvet Tiger who had that exact power with a very creative drawback. When she froze time for the world around her she continued to age at the normal rate personally. So if she froze time for six hours, she was six hours older at the end, when everyone would have aged no time at all.

    And she was a very thorough criminal, committing her crimes and spending time making sure no traces were left, and that aged her a LOT, to the extent that Batgirl had trouble tracking her down because she was looking for a woman in her thirties, when all her official records listed her as being twelve years old.

  2. Oh my gosh Chip + Jay and Miles = makes me laugh for the entire listener question segment of this!!! Loved it so much!
