He made it too obvious. Instead the story coulda been an Omelas kinda situation, where everything is perfect except there has to be incest for magical-realist-reasons or the whole system falls apart. Still terrible and dumb, but at least his deniability becomes more plausible.

 After years of enjoying Rick Remender's indie work I'm finally checking out his run on X-Force. This bit from the intro of the volume 1 TPB amused me. ...and here's something from volume 2 for all the Flinstones lovers out there.

Justice League International had a British superhero named The Beefeater, who had a big handlebar mustache and a top hat, as well as a ceremonial power-rod passed down from the wardens of the Tower of London.  I mean, there's a Captain Britain in every dimension, right? Maybe this guy is the Captain Britain of the DC universe.

Old Odd Man is in the back ups of Mother Panic, and may be passing the costume down to his daughter. Beefeater was watching over the British super villain prison in Batman Incorporated.

I know they're super-people but it seems that super-OSHA would suggest that they at least wear some freakin safety goggles or something.CzarChasm posted:It's the future. Apples no longer exist. There's an old playground game where you twist an apple stem and recite the alphabet to find out the first initial of who you're going to marry. I imagine it could be easily adapted to selecting super personnel.

CzarChasm posted:It's the future. Apples no longer exist. Yeah you just list stuff while twisting an apple stem and whenever it breaks off that's the answer. The traditional version is you go through the alphabet and whatever you end up with will be the initial of your true love, but it's pretty easy to switch out "true love" for "leader on the suicide mission."

After googling to try to refresh my memory about the whole silly game it seems they usually break in the 8-10 zone. So, yes. No option at this point but to turn to a complicated planet-firing orrery.
