{{quote|''I'm invincible. I can't be vinced.''|'''Lucius Lavin''', Hero of the Town}}
 
Sheppard's team (which now inexplicably includes Dr. Beckett) investigates rumors of a local superhero. Lo and behold, it turns out to be [[Stargate Atlantis/Recap/S03 /E03 Irresistible|Lucius Lavin]], once more with a horde of adoring followers. Beckett determines that he's not actually drugging the populace this time - they genuinely love him for his feats of prowess. These feats of prowess in turn are powered by his memory of Atlantis mission reports and by a handy dandy personal shield of the same sort that [[Stargate Atlantis/Recap/S01 /E03 Hide and Seek|once caused wacky hijinks for McKay]]. As if to demonstrate, a group of ruffians menaces the town, disarming the team - until everyone is handily rescued by invulnerable Lucius.
 
Actually, it was precisely to demonstrate. Those bandits were Genii mercenaries paid off by Lucius to maintain his reputation. The team tries to unmask him with this information, but the happy villagers aren't buying it, so they leave in disgust. Who should suddenly appear but Acastus Kolya! Those Genii mercenaries, not overfond of Sheppard or of Lucius, tipped him off that his old rival would be here. The team wisely hides to prevent bloodshed, while Lucius steps in to save the day. After seeing his invulnerability in action, however, Kolya cheerfully informs him that he'll still die if he gets buried alive. And then uses him as bait to trap Sheppard.
Line 12:
 
* [[Badass Longcoat]]: The gang leader wears one.
* [[Cross Referenced Titles]]: With [[Stargate Atlantis/Recap/S03 /E03 Irresistible|"Irresistible"]] earlier in the season, the episode in which Lucius was introduced.
* [[Duel to the Death]]: Sheppard and Kolya at the end.
* [[Fake Ultimate Hero]]: Lucius
Line 25:
* [[Showdown At High Noon]]: played straight with the [[Duel to the Death|final duel]] between Sheppard and Kolya.
* [[Torches and Pitchforks]]: Too daytime for torches, but the angry mob of happy villagers has pitchforks aplenty.
* [[You Have Failed Me...]]: Double subverted. Kolya aims his gun at a mook who failed to capture Sheppard and pulls the trigger, only for the gun to click as if empty. The mook thanks him and Kolya lets him go, saying it's his last chance... before angrily giving away his gun for repair.
