Its honestly astonishing how stupid the powers that be are in this.

But whats more crazy is reading a book from a time when people actually had in faith in or trusted their institutions.

It's the inconsistency that makes it bad writing. The authorities are so obsessed with control and secrecy that they raise Hyperion in an information bubble and then do everything possible to kill, imprison or discredit him if he strikes out on his own? Okay, sure. But meanwhile those same authorities try to give his powers to a bunch of adult convicted murderers? And when Redstone goes rogue, wrecks the program and starts slaughtering massive numbers of innocent people in public, they...drop him in another country and tell him to kill literally anyone he feels like killing, forever?

And now the government is going to blame Redstone's American victims on Hyperion, thus guaranteeing that the US will be blamed for all of Redstone's overseas murders in the future?

Even cartoonish supervillainy at least benefits the villain. This is just pointless.

Hey, who ever said intelligence was a requisite for being high up in the government? ;)

So does anything happen with the blue fishlady? So far there hasn't been anything with her.

I was thinking the same thing... she seems to be on the cool looking covers, piques my interest, then nothing haha.

She has an ongoing romantic relationship with Doctor Spectrum that History seems to be avoiding entirely. She's mute, but ends up living in an underwater house with him--his one seemingly normal relationship with his fucked-up job. I really like her, but I guess there's already a lot going on in these pages that there's not enough time to cover her.

So basically, Proto Shape of the Water only with the genders swapped.

I knew about that, but is that just about it for her? She's there just to humanize Spectrum?

There's no other mention of her (and I don't remember much of what I read of Supreme Power) so I presume she stays a supporting character until Namor and the Cabal kill her off years after their series ended.

Kind of a waste given how visually interesting she is (and given she's one of the few characters who isn't a giant asshole) but I'm guessing Marvel still doesn't want bare tits in their wholesome comic books.

Marvel MAX isn't really a thing anymore, is it? I mean how they kept Nighthawk and killed the rest of his team. He's in the mainstream comic book continuity, as opposed to this one-off series that got to have nudity and curse words.

What the hell is wrong with the woman's body on the cover? It looks like she's made out of play doh. That's not intentional, is it?

Yeah, that pose just looks wrong. Maybe cobbled together from different references, badly.

Maybe she's a gender-swapped Plastic Man analog?
