This update!Ā Isina is currently a first year cadet and was originally seen here… it would appear that her power is to grow tall but unlike other giants we’re used to in comics she just goes up and not out. She knows the cadet she just saved is from fourth year becasue of the aqua coloured uniform (first years=purple, second=blue, third=red (yeah, I know, what was I thinking?)). The fifth and sixth/final year cadets are allowed to wear their own costumes… so we have Padma Singh from fifth year and Punchin’ Judy from sixth (also allowed to use her code name). Padma is a long range teleporter and was briefly introduced way back in Chapter 4 but we saw a lot more of her in Chapter 5. She can, of course, do short range ‘ports too.

Great page
Looks like they get to see Punchin’ Judy punch some missiles after all!
Are there uniform colors for the faculty,security forces,medical and kitchen staff?
Yes, indeed there is. In fact I worked them out for faculty and security right at the start of the series – see page 1.19 and compare with the info on this page. While it makes no attempt to link the sleeve colour with the faculty that was always my intention – so white is for science, green is for demonology, etc. There are few colours not represented as the characters are not wearing the standard clothing for cultural or practical reasons. It only applies to the polo/tee shirt, not to the pants.
Security is orange.
There isn’t anything specific for catering but medical staff (except doctors) wear white and green with a red cross in a circle.
What about kitchen staff,unless there is none?
Actually what I meant to say is,what color would best represent those on kitchen staff or cadets assigned to KP duty?
Haven’t given that much thought, sorry!! š
Would think something like black or a brown, something to show they are being punished
Punishment duty would probably just be an armband, the purpose of all those colorful costumes is to make the various groups immediately recognizable after all.
Oh yeah, arm-bands (or hats) would make more sense, but they could still have a KP-uniform depending on how long the punishment is
cool page. : )
Really hoping Isi gets at least a ‘nod of recognition’ after this event to show, umm, something (sometimes words fail me, but basically she had the ‘smarts’ to leap into action straight away and the intelligence to know which one to save)
I think quite a few of them will get some kind of recognition after this day is over…!
So is she going with ‘Famp’ or sticking with… what was it? Hairaport?
Sounded more like Judy was using the sound as a verb (that’s the action words, isn’t it?)
Yes – FAMP – is the sound of Padma teleporting. It’s a bit like when Nightcrawler from the X-Men teleporter with a BAMF, they used to use “bamf” as a verb!
Or *POIT* in WapsiSquare
And they call the little nightcrawler… creatures ‘Bamfs’.
Looks like Padma and Punchin’ Judy are on a first name basis.
Why not? They are in the same year at least (both have fancy custom uniforms)
Punchin’ Judy is a sixth year cadet, Padma a fifth year cadet (mentioned in some of the notes over the last few pages) – so they would know each other reasonably well. The senior year cadets are generally fewer in number due to drop outs and are chummier, plus they would train together more than the junior cadets.
