Ringtoss gives the Technet something every capture team can use: a way to keep the target from moving while everybody else finishes the job.

Ringtoss gives the Technet something every capture team can use: a way to keep the target from moving while everybody else finishes the job. The energy rings come from that extraordinary ring-shaped head. It is a design that makes the name almost unnecessary. Where another comic might give a mercenary a specialized gun, this one makes the equipment part of the character's outline. Rachel gets caught by those restraints during the launch battle. That is an important distinction from simply having somebody hit her harder. A powerful person can still be put in a position where the next move belongs to someone else, especially in a crowded fight with several different threats competing for attention. Ringtoss makes that kind of teamwork visible. The rings can hold one person while another hunter deals with a rescuer. The image itself explains the job. There is something very matter-of-fact about it, which fits a crew treating an unwilling woman as a bounty to be processed. The counter comes through an outside interruption. Kurt gets an attacker into Ringtoss, breaking the immediate hold and giving Rachel room to act. The hunters' advantage starts to unravel as the heroes begin paying attention to what is happening to one another. That is a useful place for a supporting antagonist to sit. Ringtoss doesn't need to command the entire encounter to determine whether someone else gets a chance to participate in it. For a few crucial moments, controlling one person's movement controls the direction of the fight. The strange face and clean circular restraints also give the page a different visual rhythm from all the limbs, teeth and twisting bodies around them. Even in this crowd, Ringtoss is difficult to mistake for anybody else.
