Out already for Members, Sunday on this website for everyone else… Our ‘Squash’ series is officially inaugurated with Ubiquity running into a sadistic villain called Acolyte whose hobbies include; power-stealing, torturing, and fly-fishing. A very tough assignment for Ubiquity!
Dr G says:
Overall it was good. Acolyte is an interesting villain who uses a lot of different ways to defeat Ubiquity. Having Ubiquity in chains was great too. Thanks for the great vid ! 🙂
Alex says:
It was good but I wouldn’t call it a squash. Captain ordinary, now that’s a video that’s actually a “squash” it was a good video but little misleading with the title

I thought this was amazing, easily a top 10 all timer for me. Ubiquity is my favorite character, I love the concept of the low strength heroine (with a cool power) who is always outclassed by her opponents, though given how the actress imbues her with grit and determination, you wouldn’t really know it. Just makes for a rather compelling character in my eyes.
Loved the first appearance of Acolyte too, he’s got some killer lines, powers like a sith lord, and I eagerly await any future appearances he’ll make.

Yipes! Acolyte really is a nasty, sadistic piece of work! … I look forward to seeing more of him 😀
Excellent video. Very intense! Once again, Ubiquity gives an incredible central performance. The chair-tied scenes, where things got a little brutal, were particularly well acted.
Awesome photo-set too.

I don’t have much to add to what previous comments have said, but this is a really good video highlighting how excellent the Ubiquity actress is. She’s very expressive and imbues the character with a lot of energy and commitment. Makes for an intense encounter.
It’s also the first appearance (outside of photos) of new villain Acolyte. His style resembles Nemesis a bit (black hood and mask, deep voice, a collection of mysterious powers) but he’s got an intriguing MO: trapping and stealing powers from heroines. That’s a lot more interesting to me than what a lot of villains do, and makes him a serious threat to heroines. That plus his enthusiasm for causing pain! Nasty character.
Very nice photoset as well. Ubiquity’s very likeable, even in stills, lots of presence.

Yes, I’m pleased people enjoyed it. She is a really terrific actress, one of the best we’ve used.
As for Acolyte. Yeah, he seems a bit like Nemesis, but I would make a couple of points of difference. Nemesis is generally a contract hire doing a job, he doesn’t necessarily enjoy the work, Acolyte does. A lot. Nemesis is invincible, he was developed really as a joke, which is why he doesn’t exist in the main story. He will never lose. I have had custom offers that involved him losing and turned them down. Acolyte can lose (not easily), and is therefore a credible character who could be in Story videos if we want.
Dr Mabuse says:
Yeah, that’s what I was getting at with regard to Acolyte. He’s got a passing resemblance to Nemesis, but it’s only surface. He’s a different kind of villain with lots of potential, seems to me, and can play a very interesting role, however he’s used.

Cool new villain and Ubiquity bringing her “A” game (as usual).I felt really sorry for her .
