Calinon said:"Jason Smith, investment manager, please," Tyrone says, losing all hint of his ghetto accent and speech. The phone says something back, which is lost in the sound of a passing car, but Tyrone replies shortly, "Luthor Rhymes."
After a very short pause, the phone comes to life again, and you hear a man's voice from the speaker, muffled by Tyrone's ear. "Hello Mr. Rhymes, Jason Smith speaking. It's good to hear from you after so long."
And Tyroc immediately smashes his fist into Miguels face to shut him up after he reveals Tyroc's secret identity to anyone within earshot. If he proceeds to speak anything about that after that point, he'll be hit with a paralysis beam.
Now Tyroc shall never trust you. Well done.
Rhymes is what he uses so he can escape his life if need be. Where he stores a reserve of wealth so if he gets in trouble, he can vanish in a way nobody can find him. And he can access that wealth in a way that nobody knows it's him doing it.Mimic said:Ok, actually I am some what confused here. Isn't Tyrone/Tyroc the whole secret identity thing with Rhymes being the alias of Tyrone that he uses in the business world?
Calinon said:Tyroc never revealed his identity as Tyrone Carter. By the time the news got a hold of it in issue 1, it was already out of the bag, so he just said screw it. I knew that would happen in the prologue but didn't worry. After all, he always had Rhymes to fall back on.
