        Actually, Amazi-Girl was carrying Billie away from Ruth in a comic not too long back… so, obviously, Amazi-Girl must have been using a twin.

      But if the truth is that he’s not a prince, then Genie never granted his wish in the first place.
      That must be why he has so many extras left over for Jafar.

          Jafar got to say “I wish for…” three times. The Genie also seemed to obey him in general. Oh, and Jafar actually made four wishes; the Genie wasn’t able to grant one of them (Princess Jasmine falling in love with him), but Jafar thought he did, so…
          The Genie wasn’t willing to save Aladdin’s life, even though he liked him, without an explicit wish. Because he could only do something for him three times–but not for Jafar.

        Well none of them really associate with Amber. It’s like in the Cinema Snob Movie. Craig got away with his disguise because the people he was trying to fool barely knew him in the first place.

        Mike and Ethan would probably realise who she was instantly.

      I was going to ask if you had never just liked someone without having a solid rational reason for doing so, and then I realized something. There’s a…leveling effect in most comic strips in that most every character is averagely attractive – it takes something of an effort for the artist to draw a character in an unattractive manner. This works the other way, of course; I think that Danny may be physically attractive, mayhap in a slightly bishi way, making women with forceful personalities want to protect him – or somesuch psychobabble.

      So…she’s attracted to his looks, maybe?

        This is probably what initially got her attention, and the fact that he didn’t sleep with Billie because of her probably helped a lot.

        But this whole Amazi-Girl thing will continue to sour the relationship until she reveals herself. And when she does, hopefully he believes her and doesn’t do the “hilarious” thing and laugh it off.

        Or…he already knows, and is just kind of teasing her? Or trying to make her confront herself?

    Here’s an idea I haven’t seen brought up before–what if Danny KNOWS Amber is A.G.?

    He could have figured it out and thought if Amber was compelled to be Amazi-Girl then he might get to know her better as AG vs. Amber.

    Then he’d reveal he knew her secret identity but wanted it to be her choice to tell him since that would be when Amber felt the most confident in their relationship.

    Jusf a theory.
