Heroes really are the same self-serving hypocrites everywhere. Every hero needs a villain, right? Overhaul would probably say he's Yakuza, but it's the same thing in the end.
I wanna destroy hero society and he wants to fix it, but they both start the same way. By destroying the core of it all first.
That's what I've been sayin' all along. They're all cut from the same fucking cloth.
...some of 'em have taken it on themselves to make their own villains. If there ain't a threat too big for normal folks to stop, then we might not need the heroes anymore, y'know?
Know a few people who want to try and take down the folks at the top causin' the hypocrisy and death "the right way", but. [He gives a shrug.] Right way can only get you so far when the rules ain't apply to some folks, I'd say. Why I'm gettin' you your samples--could even the playing field back home if you two are bein' straight with me.
If the Underworld's weak I could see that happening. During their "Age of Peace" it almost did, but they couldn't scrub everything. And then there's the ones who stuck around by keeping their heads low.
[ He smiles into that with a light shake of his head. ]
Overhaul's the salaryman not me, but I know how to do business with brokers. Worked with one for a while until he got kidnapped and then we bailed him out since he didn't turn on us.
[ There's a glint in his red eyes, since that's the crux of arrangements like this isn't it? As long as both parties hold up their end it works out just fine. ]
Mm. I'll take that as a sign you're comin' through. Though wouldn't hurt to get more specifics on what you have that could off the guy I need put on ice.
And What's your bone to pick with Supes, then? Get wronged down the line by one or just tired of bein' lied to?
