scrappy lad: hey, ms. amazement, maybe I can be your sidekick! woman: Well...every great warrior needs a "second"...tell me-if I were morally wounded, could you deliver to me the sweet release of death? scrappy lad: sure! can I do that with a nerf gun?
Bad, bad idea.
Ms. Amazement is virtually indestructible. If she were ever mortally wounded, in order to deliver the coup de grace and hasten her on her journey to the Sunless Lands (i.e. back to Ireland), none of the ordinary methods (a sword to the heart, a throat slitting, a chunk of pavement smashed into her skull) would do any good. She probably has some secret vulnerability, or some magic incantation, which would release her from her sufferings.
So I ask you - if you had a secret of that nature, something which is so important that your enemies must not even suspect that it exists, let alone learn how to wield it…would you tell it to SCRAPPY LAD?!?
