Enigma | |
| Enigma / Comicbook | comment |
Enigma is a 1993 comic book by Peter Milligan about an astoundingly dull man named Michael Smith, whose life is turned upside down when he gets attacked by a huge-headed lizard monster that sucks peoples brains out through their noses, and is saved by his favorite childhood comic book superhero The Enigma, a masked man with god-like powers. The story primarily centers around him and the comic book's author Titus Bird trying to figure out exactly what the hell is going on.Enigma is arguably the first comic from a mainstream publisher to feature a gay kiss, and is #15 on the Comics Alliance list of the 50 most important LGBT Comic Books and Characters of all time. | |

Superhero Paradox | |
| Enigma / Comicbook / int_5b87dd9d | comment |
Superhero Paradox: Invoked. The Enigma, basing his life and identity on the comic book character, reasons that he needs villains to fight, and uses his powers to turn random people into those villains. | |

Go Mad from the Revelation: The Truth's power is to make people see everything in their lives with complete clarity and with all the comforting lies and self-delusion that they live with every day stripped away. Their minds don't usually survive this intact. | |

Teleport Cloak | |
| Enigma / Comicbook / int_9471e1a0 | comment |
Teleport Cloak: In a rather unusual example, Envelope Girl's outfit isn't primarily used to transport her (though it is implied that it can). Rather, she goes up to random strangers, wraps them up in her clothing, and they are deposited in a cardboard box somewhere else at random. | |

The Omnipotent: It's not really clear what the nature and extent of The Enigma's powers are, but from what we see, he's effectively God. If God were a gay, morally ambiguous existentialist who ate lizards. | |
