Many criminals think Vice is weak (or a stripper, let's be honest) when they first see her, but her knockout appearance is 100% intentional and tactical. It gives her the split second of doubt in a takedown operation that allows her to stun, overpower, and restrain perpetrators exponentially stronger than her. Even when the goons are cuffed and face-down on the ground, sniffing dirt through bloodied noses, they're still waiting for the gag to be over and the show to start. Should they finally realize they are truly headed for the Graybar Hotel and try to reclaim their pride and freedom through violence, they will quickly learn Vice isn't just a brilliant strategist -- she's also a master of her patented Siren Sticks and will leave any would-be assailant in a cloud of instant pain and regret.
