Building a concentration camp on US soil? And with a “do as you please with the prisoners” license as well? Damn Scott, the JSverse US is hard-core!
Though the sad thing is I could see our US doing something like this under the “right” president and after enough scaremongering of our citizens…oh wait it was already done back in WW2 with Japanese-Americans.
Well, the helmet of Tactical’s armor was kind of missile-shaped before Brian crunched it… Dunno about the Blix building. ‘Blix’ sounds like the canine sidekick of some hero. “Sic ‘em, Blix!” Still, I guess someone has to be named that.
Wonder what will get the threat level to level ‘burnt umber’? I also wonder if some dude at this Homeland security really is digging around in his jumbo-tastic Crayola box for names for said threat levels. Good job at making them seem like incompetent, clueless thugoons, Benita (or Scott. I don’t know why I think Benita came up with that ).
Frankly, I can’t remember who made up all the colors, because Benita and I work very closely on this stuff. At this point, we are years past the not knowing who invented various elements.
I will say that Benita doesn’t have any history with superhero comics beyond this one, and she’s primarily a mystery reader. She brings some pretty unexpected things to the table, keeping us away from many plot shortcuts common to comics. At this point, she’s the only writer I ever plan to collaborate with.
Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law, Season 2, Episode 1 has several oddball references to threat level colors, such as “poo-poo pants”. I can’t read one of these…ahem…interesting color choices without flashing back to “black watch plaid”, but I think the best was when the threat level was raised to the album cover of Rush’s “Moving Pictures”.
I always get a good chuckle out of these unusual threat levels, even though they’ve actually done away with them now.
Is there some sort of secret plot-related meaning to the threat levels? Does Aquamarine foreshadow something for the storyline that we might know if we knew the other times the threat level was Aquamarine?
Actually, I think we went back and forth trying to come up with the oddest sounding color name we could that still made sense and wasn’t replicated in the past. It was a lot more creative than what the government back under W’s regime, even though it makes about as much sense.

The thing is, it’s plausible.
The Japanese internment camps are on of our country’s big embarrasments, among many.

Threat level charcoal!

Convoluted question GO!
