comment
The Vigil is a six-issue miniseries created by Ram V and Latif Kumar Sharma, and published by DC Comics as part of their Dawn of DC initiative.Years ago, the Indian government enlisted brilliant scientist Dr. Sankaran to create a government-funded team of methumans for them. Despite his best efforts, Sankaran failed... or so the government thinks.In the present, Sankaran and the survivors of his experiments - Blackbird, Dodge, Arclight, and Castle - follow their own secretive agenda, keeping new and dangerous technologies out of the wrong hands, even if it requires them to do some less-than-noble things. Thrown into the mix is Nia Saha, who reports on their activities to their mysterious backer, Mr. Lightless.

The Stoic: Castle is utterly without any emotions, and can only see the world as it is. This comes in handy in the third issue, where he is the only member of the team who does not succumb to the Lotus-Eater Machine.

Required Secondary Powers: Dodge's powers allow her to move faster than the eye can see, but Dr. Sankaran had to reinforce her skeletal structure to deal with the resulting strain.

Stupid Jetpack Hitler: Issue 3 sees the team dealing with the Imperial Japanese equivalent of this trope, an offshoot of Unit 731 that set up shop in Cambodia after the war and did experiments involving sleep deprivation, neak ta priests, and reality warping.

And I Must Scream: In the third issue, the team deals with an old neak ta priest who was kidnapped by holdouts from the Imperial Japanese army and kept alive and awake for almost a century in order to power a Lotus-Eater Machine. When Castle finally finds him, the old man begs him to kill him, as his flesh is rotting and his bones are turning to dust and he hasn't slept in decades.
