What's Mr. Spender's power?

It might have something to do with the mystery Mr. Spender's been chasing. I wouldn't be surprised if we got more information on it further down the road.

And as an idle musing, maybe it has something to do with Isaac's spirit, the weather spirit of assumed great and terrible power.

ffffffffffffWHY DIDN'T I THINK OF THAT

OH MY GOD THAT MUST BE WHY STORMGOD MCCRISPYWINGS HATES SPENDER SO MUCH

They mentioned Storm Gods being taken down by Spender on page 46, and Forge said he defeated the strongest spirit, maybe they're connected?

I don't know about that, I think the spirit he defeated was probably the spirit Lucifer was working so hard to contain.

New Kid Posts : 51 Join date : 2014-04-05

Maybe. If that's the case, I guess Lucifer has powers over light and shadow, and the Other Guy has something else, because Forge seemed pretty unimpressed by that trick.

No, Lucifer is definitively light.

Spender said the other guy needed was going to start earning his keep before using shadow powers, unless there is a third party, cthulu shadow is the shadow controller.

Yeah, that definitely makes more sense.

Maybe 'defeated' could also refer to actually killing it, so they're not around at all?

Hey FE!

And as revealed in the latest updates: Spender can bend reality as well.

Seeing Shades Posts : 155 Join date : 2013-06-01

Nah, that's just an expansion on his Light/Shadow powerset. Note that the hole only appears where the tree's shadow falls and how it goes when the light shifts. Earlier too in the fight, his manipulations were mainly just shadow-boxing made combat ready.

A few pages ago he said he was "A medium for a very powerful spirit". So he's a medium of the shadow one, and his glasses are probably a tool for Lucifer. Probably.

New Kid Posts : 47 Join date : 2014-09-15

Yeah, I guess that already.

I'm guess the head of the shadow monster Lucifer is keeping is the one Forge tried to pull out.

Paranaturalist Posts : 1005 Join date : 2013-03-29

You mean the yellow bull thing? Nah, that was just spender using his spectral energy to keep Forge's super hot foot off his chest.

Seeing Shades Posts : 155 Join date : 2013-06-01

You know, given that they're both yellow energy spirits, what do you think the chances are that Spender obtained them both at the same time?

Paranaturalist Posts : 1005 Join date : 2013-03-29

Hmm, yeah. Lucifer could have been a keeper for the shadow one even before Spender got them. I'm tempted to believe it's too convenient from him to have corresponding light and shadow spirits otherwise, but then again, Boss Leader has expressed some manner of agency over what kind of spirits people get. Possible Spender was set up with Lucifer because he couldn't control the shadow guy on his own.
