There is always the possibility of chapters.







At the moment there is insufficient proof of VV's post-pardon crimes to issue a warrant for her arrest.







Well, as proof that these discussions do shape the stories, I'll be touching on that a tiny bit in the next Untold Tales.







Is that a problem? Even if it is, there's always the possibility of a framing sequence. Or maybe a psionic enemy attacks Chiaki and they end up in a running battle throuygh her memories.Chiaki needs a unique rogues gallery anyhow.







Screwdriver isn't exactly disrespectful except in the sense that he does look on most people as the hired help. It's the CEO mentality. He's the middle-man who doles out the work, upon whom both employers and employees have to rely.

And, having been in the game for a long time, he's learned to take the usual boss-level precautions against henchmen and superheroes with a variety of power-sets. I doubt he'd have, say, Luthor-level defences against superheroes, but certainly the next tier down. He has access to a lot of weird science, occult stuff, super-muscle, etc. Chiaki might be able to get to him, but it would be a war.




It's well reasoned. Maybe another brief "flashback" might embed it in written continuity?




The Hood is a big proponent of Morton's Fork plans where whichever conequence occurs he gets some advantage from it. It's effectively "If I pull A off, then I get what I want. If the heroes stop me from that, it instead achieves B that will set me up to later pull off C." It's why the Hood is mostly sanguine about his plans being disrupted; they're actually not.

But occasionally something does go wrong that really annoys him. The recent event with Liu Xi and ManMan in the Celestian Control Plane is a fine example. That screwed up quite a lot of careful preparation and, from the Hood's perspective, his best chance at saving the Parodyverse.




It's a fair concern. I feel a bit guilty because no sooner has JJJ introduced a new character than I've locked her in a massive continuity event. That's one hell of a first week on the job!
