The Stainless Steel Rat Joins the Circus -- chapter 21

He was a good and experienced climber. I would have stopped for breath by this time. He just went at it hand over hand at a steady pace. Reached the junction of the four legs. That should be it. But no, he went on until he appeared to be as high as the cables pendant from their immense insulators. Then he stopped. A dark smudge against the bright metal of the tower.
And seemed to remain there for an awfully long time.
I don’t know much clock time passed before he started back down. Subjective time seemed to last and last. And then I could see that he was moving back down, surely and steadily. He jumped the last few meters, smiling and wiping the grit from his hands.
“A piece of cake. Timed to blow in two hours.”
“We’ll have a front seat for the show.”
“We will indeed.”

...

“Just about time-” Bolivar said when the ball of flame flared out. Changed to dark billows of smoke.
For long moments nothing happened. The copter bumped a bit when the sound of the explosion reached us.
“Now,” Bolivar said.
And it was going. The top of the tower was bending, falling almost gracefully. Then the giant insulators began to turn and twist, the immense cables stirring and writhing. Falling.
I could see lightning spear out as the falling cables broke, twisting as though in pain. Twisted and fell, faster and faster, followed by the ruined tower. Splashing down into the sea in great furrows of waves that stretched across the width of the channel.

"Zapatistas"

Location:
Historical Mexico, Earth (late C19th & early C20th) and Jupiter penumbra orbit, Earth Solar System (mid C24th)

Teams:
Emiliano Zapata & Zapatistas (Mexican Revolutionary Force) and Thomas Wade (Halo City "City self-defense force")

Comparison:

Zapatistas
Zapatistas armed with conventional weaponry of the time; rifles, explosives, using military and insurgency & counter-insurgency tactics.

Halo City "City self-defense force"
(General clothing black but with Zapatista style bandoliers holding bullet cartridges.)
Wade: “As I said, the cartridges are basically of ancient design, but the bullets are new. So new, in fact, that they might as well come from the future. The bullet is a superconducting container and the interior is a pure vacuum. A magnetic field suspends a small ball in the middle to prevent it from contacting the bullet’s body. The ball is made of antimatter.”

Sunita's ... I think that's right ...

Location:
Earth (C30th) and Earth ("present day")

Teams:
Sentient-Weapons vs Binge-Eaters

Players:
Suneater vs Galactose

Comparison:

Suneater (Adventure Comics #352-353 (1967)) (sauce QuangoBrain)
The Suneater is a living-plasma based weapon created by an offshoot of the same race which created the Green Lantern Corps. Its purpose is to annihilate worlds by consuming their number one power source; their sun (... though as Solar Systems usually have at least two suns on average, at least two suneaters would be needed. But I digest ...)
A Suneater was destroyed by a member of the Legion of Superheroes in the Thirtieth Century in a needlessly complicated plot designed to make some guy look like he was making a heroic sacrifice.

Galactose (Fantastic Four #48 (March 1966) (sauce Wiki)
Galactose (/ɡəˈlæktoʊs/, galacto- + -ose, sometimes abbreviated Gal), is a common monosaccharide, i.e. a simple sugar. It is classified as a reducing hexose, more specifically an aldohexose. In terms of structure, it is a C-4 epimer of glucose. A white, water-soluble solid, it is about 80–90% as sweet as glucose and about 65% as sweet as sucrose.
With its intention (to cause everyone in the Universe to get Diabetes!), Galactose is accompanied by the SilverSpoon on his journey through the Universe and often visits his doctor in Manhattan on the planet Earth (very reasonable insurance plan).

#AlternateWars

Location:
Alpha Centauri, Proxima Centauri

Teams:
Centauri Imperial Telepaths vs the San-Ti Sophons

Abilities/Powers:

Sophons relay real-time information faster than light due to (*sigh*) Quantum Entanglement yet have the ability to be really annoying making you behave (intellectually) like a person afraid of a teeny tiny wasp so you get no work done.

Telepaths are DistractinglySexy but can only convey real-time information between the Emperor's present location and the Imperial Court on the homeworld by perfectly ordinary bog-standard faster-than light psychic ability.

(both come in groups of four but travel in twos)
