> > > > Who makes the call about Danny's future? Hatty? LL vote? SPUD? The UN?
> > > I think the LL would make the call. When Hatman first became leader you likened him to the captain of a sports team who involves his teammates in big decisions; when the Hood came to confront Hatty when he first took command he called the entire team in to hear his spiel rather than go it alone.

I took that into account with part 4.

> > 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.

The Leader dumping on Vizh?

> > Who decides guilt and innocence in matters like this, and by what canon of law?
> The court of right and wrong. Okay, that sounds really corny, but it's what Captain America would say.

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

> > The Triumverate may worry because the readership appears to be diminishing and that might denote it's time for a new nexus.
> Or perhaps a small number of readership will rise up and fight for their favourite title? (I'm thinking specifically of Spider-Girl here, which has faced cancellation 2 or 3 times and has been saved each time by fan campaigns)

Time for a fan campaign?

> > > 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.
> > When your book is cancelled you're at the mercy of other writers.
> Good thing we've got a cowled crime czar with retcon powers with a vested interest in his continued existence.

We're not at the end of the Herringcarp Saga yet.
