> > > > So the world's governments can't trust the leader of the LL. Interesting.
> > > I'm more looking at precedent. During the Parody War Sir Mumphrey was elected as leader of Earth's defenses, and then he promptly ignored pretty much anything the world government's threw at him. I can't think of any times where Jarvis, Lisa, Vizh, Finny, or Sir Mumphrey consulted with the world government's about cosmic level threats. So while I guess that doesn't make your statement untrue, it means it's not just Hatty. \:\)
> > It's true. And you wonder why the government invests in a Sentinoid programme.
> A Sentinoid Program that often goes wrong and the untrustworthy Legion are forced to clean up the mess. Why should the Legion trust a government that, despite all their deeds over the years, continually creates programs that endanger citizens and hero alike?

Funnily, I can't think of an occasion where the Sentinoids have actually turned rogue. Unlike their part-inspiration the Sentinels they've never turned on their creators. Like their other part-inspiration the Mandroids they have been used against superheroes by their creators.

He can't buck the odds forever.

> > And who convenes the court of right and wrong? Who are the judge and jury? Lisa's not replying to her mobile.
> Umm, Captain America?

He's dead; unless you want Bucky-Cap, in which case Danny is toast.

> Really, the Legion (and superheroes in general) has often made decisions like this in the past, it's not new territory. The Chronicler tattling to the government is new though...

He's just setting up the board.

> > Time for a fan campaign?
> I dunno, whenever we get into the metatextual aspects of the PV being made up of stories and whatnot things always get a bit screwy for me.

Sorry about that.

> > > > > If Earth was no longer the Nexus, I think the LL would just have to trust in their own powers and abilities to protect it.

> I wasn't aware there was a Herringcarp saga.

It featured as Obscure Parodyverse Moments #7-14, featuring Lisette in the role of Amnesia.
