The only thing that stonewalls someone being assertive is someone else being aggressive, and the only thing that trumps THAT is firepower. A little lesson from world war 2.
The only thing that stonewalls better than that is that little prick Larry. Is this your homework, Larry? Is THIS your HOMEWORK, Larry? We’re gonna cut your dick off, man!
Going to the WWII analogy, what country would Jemini be (the character is of Greek descent, for that that’s worth)? Who gets to be America?
Jemini would probably be Italy. Imperial ambitions (she’s a crime boss), a harsh divide between the german-controlled north and the allies-favoring south (Jemini V. Duplicate), several outside pressures dictating much of their activity and military effort (both are more or less reacting more than acting due to unsettled situations), and colonial interests to worry about (criminal influence, Sanderson, Scapula and co, Sharkmouth, etc).
Who would be america? Scapula. At least he was. He had a fresh gang of relatively new and not very tough or experienced troops that barged in on a war already going on after opportunistically using the fracas to keep anyone from noticing him while Jemini and Sharkmouth and various others fought for control of the streets, leaving him to train his goon squad and eventually make very showy public efforts for not exactly as much gain as advertized. Unlike america, he didn’t show up on any given side and he didn’t exactly come in with enough extra mass to throw in behind any given side to win the day, but hey….. life’s boring if it gets predictable!
Nice touch on having both heads speaking alternately, instead of just having one do the talking while the other focused on some other task, the way you tended to do a lot of the time in past appearances – really emphasizes her unique nature.
Slightly surprised that last panel wasn’t both speaking together, to really put some impact into the line.

Jemini gets hung upside down and Scapula can give a Patton speech (in the voice of George C. Scott, of course). It could happen!
That would probably get to be one of the most viewed comics in the villainous genre.
I have decided not to mess with Jemini.
Good thinking! Now if only Scapula and Die Kabale had thought of that…
You’re not the boss of me
Eat your vegetables or I’ll break your nose with a beer bottle again.
Now have him hit her with the clone reveal that he shouldn’t have knowledge of!
“No, Miss. I’m afraid you’re not my boss. You’re really a clone. And the real Jemini left me to serve time in prison. I have a new boss.”
Then comes the big twist: they were ALL clones…of Spider-Man! God damn you, Jackal!
