> >     Ã¢â‚¬Å“Even the evil have their uses, Liu Xi, so long as their greed and ambition are harnessed by one wiser than themselves...”
> Sounds like a Hooded Hood quote.

No, the Hood quotes are yet to come.

> >     Ã¢â‚¬Å“You’re saying that Jay isn’t Jay?” Fashion Accessory frowned. “Well, he was wearing a designer label t-shirt rather than his usual cheap cotton ones from the Student Quarter Market. And also Jay dresses to the right, um, not that I always check.”
> Trust FA to notice that.

Well, you know she would.

> >      This is a woman who thinks purple and black is a stylish colour scheme.
> Wasn't it more like colour coding? (I seem to remember something like that in one of the "Assembled" articles).

In comics, yes, there was an old convention of heroes in the colours that printed best, reds and blues, and villains contrasting in the other easy colours, green and purple.

> >     Ã¢â‚¬Å“The real Hatman?” challenged Graham. “Are you sure? Because I think the real Hatman would have done what we’ve done and mapped the various powers of this New Lair Legion to those of known members of the Purveyors of Peril. He’d have looked and seen that, for example, Grit the Granulated Man and the Living Beach have never been seen together. Or Brass Monkey and Shiny Simian. Or VelcroVixen and VirtueValkyrie.”
> Of course, he would be the first to work this out.

He's a smart old man.

> >     Commissioner Graham very carefully placed his spare dossier on the corner of his desk nearest to the window as he left his office. The file wasn’t there when he came back.
> >     Citizen Z found it very interesting reading.
> BCC?

He's a smart old man.

> >     Ã¢â‚¬Å“Are you going to bore me to death like you did when we were kids, trying to sound like Uncle Belial but actually coming across like Bela Lugosi?”
> Alas, this one goes over my head. I don't think I ever saw any of those films.

"I do not drink... vine."

> >     The phantom of Herringcarp stood in darkness, her ragged stained tabard blowing in unseen winds, and she looked far with eyes that had seen horrors.
> >     Ã¢â‚¬Å“Soon,” she whispered.
> I think I've worked out who she is...

Indeed. Must finish that sometime. I have a shock ending for it.
