Fred? 
|
The Fred Force (according to the Canon Cabal (Yet again, TINCC)) is the only force that was made without knowledge gleaned from the creation of the Champion Force. It's implied that the holder is a bit...strange.
I think I might have found a minor goof
| Quote: | "SHUT IT!" Dr. T snapped, "Look, the second thing Diabolik would do, right after calling that lawyer she was talking about, is call the Whateley Alumni Association and lodge a complaint. I take my 401(k) and vacation package through the WWA; I have vacation time coming up soon, and if you think that I'm giving up three weeks in Cabo, just so that you can play the big leader, then you are NUTS!"
|
Shouldn't the acronym be WAA?
|
Yes, the Fred Force is owned by... a guy named Fred. You saw Junkyard, so you should be able to deduce what Fred does.
And yes, the acronym should be WAA. I missed that on the editing, and I didn't notice when I was prepping the file for the website.

As stated, ghosts have NO legal rights in the United States, and I'll wager in most, if not all legal systems across the globe. Why? Because, if they did, then some wispy voice from out of nowhere can claim to be almost anyone without any form of varification or means of enforcement, and revise wills posthumously. Can you see ANY lawyer ANY where who'd let that happen?
Junkyard is classified as an 'Unspecified Stable Beneficial Paranormal Event', and does not have to pay taxes. On the flip side, she can't own property, vote, and at the drop of a hat could be reclassified as 'an Unspecified Stable Malignant Paranormal Event' and summarily exorcised or otherwise destroyed.
To Be, or Not to Be; this is a question?

Although without knowing exactly what was in Jadis' mind, I assume that was mostly a big bluff to get the heroes' attention.
It would also seem that's a major weakness that Junkyard needs to address. It wasn't nearly difficult enough to get hold of the chip.

Probably; she already has the (unearned, for now) rep of being a supervillain-in-training, and actually "killing" a member of the ECG, even if it's not technically illegal, would cement her status as a villain for good.
Indeed, he really needs to armour up his hallow, and with a name like Junkyard he really has no excuse for not doing just that.
Got to agree with everyone speculating that Jobe is going to be forced to marry his "backup copy". Really, that's the only way this situation makes any sense at all. We have to remember that Gizmatic is running a dictatorship here, so he has to be especially concerned about lines of succession and ensuring that his own son is properly groomed to inherit his title. Anyone other than his own child taking the throne would decrease his own power today, and he can't have that happening. What he especially can't have happening is the enormous loss of face that would occur from his child being forced to marry an heir who is not his own son; that would invite all sorts of potential intrigue which he doesn't need and wouldn't want. Therefore, Jobe must be forced to marry Jobe-backup-clone, for the good of the Empire.

Backup Jobe, if that is the case, offers interesting plot devices. We tend to think of Jobe as a steady state character, constant in his behavior and outlooks, but I doubt that is truly the case. I think he/she has evolved slightly as a person, and being turned into a Drow, and having sex, has got to have altered her pretty fundamentally.
So if this backup shows up, he's going to be the Jobe from the last time a backup was made, and is going to be a snapshot of a younger, much less savy Jobe. With double the arrogance, hard as that might be to picture.
Also can't help but wonder how Jobe, the drow, is going to react to interacting with this version of herself. I can just see her complaining to her father that something had to have gone wrong with the process, as this thing is obviously defective and more than slightly disfunctional mentally.

I do hope you meant 'having sex as a drow', as old-Jobe was well trained in sex per sey. Can't find the reference, but it is the one where he is referring to sexual positions by their literative names, a bit like combat manouvers.
Have Fun!

I'm picturing it,
Random bad seed: Jadis, you're black-balled from the Bad Seeds
Jadis: On what grounds?
RBS: What grounds? You're a cape!
Jadis: Your point being?
RBS: We can't have a cape in the bad seeds.
Jadis: Actually the requirements to be a member make no mention of affiliation, only that any member must be the acknowledged child of a supervillain.
Nacht, Mal, Lindsay, couple others: Yeah, you aren't getting rid of Jadis and keeping us, you lose us and we re-form the bad seeds without you. Think you have a better claim?

Griffon being probably kicked out of the cadets is going to make a very vengeful enemy. Better to keep her in, but not in charge, with a suit build by the drow for her to use. Make her need the main characters, and know it.
