The Hood's play shows up the fallacies and limitations of SHRA!

T-Bolts is pretty good, if for no other reason than seeing D-listers get some spotlight by beating the crap outta some deputized super villains.
 
It's basically a hit list for Z-list characters. That gets old to me after a while.
 
Come on, seeing what that Condor guy did to Bullseye made the whole Ellis run worthwhile. Nothing like seeing a Greek-Alphabet-Lister beat the crap outta a supposedly A-List Villain. Plus, Songbird and Radioactive man's plight is interesting as well. I really would rather she had gotten a chance to join the Avengers though. It's time if you ask me.
 
I liked Radioactive Man better when he wasn't a complete *****e, too.

That would be a nice gesture on Iron Man and Ms. Marvel's part. "Look, even reformed villains can do right and earn a place for themselves among the big guns. Join the Initiative willingly, get immediate amnesty for all of your past crimes, and start on the road to Avengerdom TODAY!"

Sure, he is. He was on the verge of becoming a full fledged hero until Ellis took over. Even in CW, he was proving himself to Reed, Tony and Hank. Now he's just another thug working for the government.
 
He's counted among the "heroes" of the T-bolts, though. He, Songbird, Swordsman, and Moonstone appear to be held in a different regard from the likes of Venom, Norman, et al.
 
No, he's not. He's in the same boat with Songbird, as they have shown. He does what he's told though, because he's there as a rep for his country. He's not beating the crap outta paralyzed super heroes like Swordsman is. (Who is really the only original T-Bolt that has lost all previous characterization pre CW. But I can't really fault Ellis for doing that to him, he was a *****e for years, now all of a sudden he's captain America cuz his sisters dead?) One extreme deserves another I suppose.

Have you read any of it, though? These "heroes" are ****ing viscious turds. I think I remember RM kicking some dude in the face while he was down.
 
Haha, straight out of the Ultimate Cap handbook. :D I'd expect no less of Ellis.
 
Yeah, pretty much. I'll pass on that grass. I love Ellis, but that book isn't my cup of tea.
 
I've actually not read either one. I'm just repeating what the general consensus is. ;)
 
52's probably not worth it if you're not into the DC universe as a whole. Countdown's just not worth it in general.
