    That's a possibility (but it's not what's happened).


I guess I can give up speculating on that now.

    The LL are still inviting the Carnifex to join them - or lead them - at this point.


I wonder why he hasn't taken the offer? If his job is to destroy the LL, the best way is from within. Even the Hooded Hood knew that.

For instance what would happen if he implements new rules and discipline for the LL? What happens if, say, he decides the LL should slim down and be all super powered, because everyone else is too weak and/or a liability to the team that always needs to be rescued? And the first thing he does to that effect, to make a leaner and meaner team, is fire Al B Harper, Visionary and Yuki Shiro? And then to make the team less risk-prone, ask all nonessential personnel like Anna to move out of the mansion. And then he might either recruit or boot out Lara Night, and pick up a few independent super-powered heroes...or maybe villains.

The point to that long paragraph is, he could destroy the Lair Legion simply by tearing apart friendships, and throwing together alliances that could cause its root members to either become completely ineffective, or simply quit. Especially if, while he's making the changes he keeps an "if you don't like it you're free to quit" strategy. It would be like the worst kind of corporate restructuring, which usually results in the death of the company.

Note also that with that kind of attitude, he might not have to fire Yuki. She would probably lose her temper and quit.

    Did we ever get an origin for her?


The only origin for Faite so far is that she's "always been there". She originally came from an alternate Hatman story, but I decided to use her in the general Parodyverse. There is a possibility that the Hooded Hood retconned her existence in for a purpose, possibly to prepare for times when he's dead or incapacitated.
