There you are, Deathbird, you did spark of a bit of a

anything I've said here - I'm not totally infallable! :-P

If you'd like to see the Extinctioners, so you can at least
recognise 'who is who', try www.extinctioners.com. There
are profile pages to help readers along. :-)

Once they got in to the 'joke' sections, it was 'gloves
off' (Mr Hardiman's dark humour surfacing), for the
original art challenge were supposed to be incapacitate
only - all non-lethal.

I still reckon it would be cool to have Lot 6 turn bad.
You'd have to give them motivations, but it would be cool
to follow the baddies around for once as opposed to the
goodies. Follow the anti-heros as they suffer along in
their quests for power and glory or what ever it is they
seek. Heaps of 'goodie' teams out there - how about some
more 'anti-heroes'?

I often get caught out when people post under multiple
aliases that I haven't seen before - so don't feel too bad
about being 'slow on the take-up'. :-)

Yes. *nods in agreement* JMH realising all that pent up
evil that he's been storing, waiting for the right moment
to release it upon the unsuspecting reader... Tamar just
didn't want to be out done so dropped down to JMH's level
(which is a similar level to my own warped mind).

That art quality has been very good, I agree.

Yes, Jeremy's run in with Scarlet wasn't what you would
call a 'compassionate kill'. :-/

I've never seen any Lot 6 comics and there are only a few
prints of the characters around that I am aware of, so I
can't shed any light as to what would be In Character for
Jeremy. Still does lend that justification for making a
team of cool baddies. :-)

Jeremy is far stronger than Red, even in powered up form,
so Red was working on the theory that he'd make sure Jeremy
couldn't make a comeback. Besides, the two girls he loved
(Scarlet and Artica are always playing off against each
other to win Red's affection, hence the comment about
working together as a team in the previous page) had just
been killed by this 'dickless jerk', so he was pretty
emotionally chewed up and may have been reckoning that
ending it all while extracting revenge was not such a bad
option.
> But maybe thats just me. :)
No, I may have been confused too, if I wasn't as well
versed on the Extinctioners history.

facts are lacking.
