From the first few pages of Countdown Presents: Lord Havok and the Extremists #1 (please, DC, makes these titles longer. Please!), giving us the historical background of Earth-8:The frightening disregard for our fellow man...all of it was our doing...and all of it need to be stopped.
And so it would be...if one was to believe the campaign promises of the first metahuman presidential ticket.
As it turned out, the public did believe. They believed enough to grant Tin Man a historic landslide victory...
They even believed enough to support the passing of the Metahuman Act. An act which stated that metahumans would now have to be legalized by their government. And, if legalized, would operate as one unifying force...the Meta Militia.
Of course, what the act didn't state was what would happen to those who failed to comply...Arrests. Concentration camps. ..and often death.
Hmm, that all sounds kinda familiar...let's see, a "Tin Man" spearheads the passage of a "Legalization" act that makes all metahumans work for the government, and any who disagree are arrested. Hmmm, that Tin Man show some initiative there, huh?
Does this mean that Lord Havok=Captain America? And can we expect a Marvel to launch a revenge mini-series soon that mocks a universe where every week, long bouts of nothing occur? Glass houses, DC, glass houses...
