Paragon City is evil?

I've been thinking... if the Rogue isles are their own nation and all the villains come from there then doesn't that make Paragon City the villains for having PPD and Longbow (official representatives and soldiers of the US government) in Rogue Isles... And not only that but they are holding the Villains in a prison which they shouldn't be doing... They should be deporting them.

So they are taking war actions with soldiers and holding prisoners of war seemingly illegally...

From what I can remember, the only 'official' Longbow presence in the Rogue Isles is in Nerva, which isn't actually under the same government as the rest of them. And there are no PPD in the Isles, only the RIP, which are local.

In addition to that, I don't think Longbow are official US soldiers. They are part of Freedom Corps which has a world-wide clientele. Ms. Liberty is basically using them as mercenaries.

I think it is far more provacative for Arachnos troops to be active in Faultline and Siren's Call and any number of petty criminal acts including assault of a US prison facility.

It's best not to think too much about such things. It's just a comic book after all.

Don't forget: Arachnos is a terrorist organization that is very openly hostile to the United States. So they pretty much get what's coming to them when Longbow and Paragon heroes go beat them up.

Besides having state sponsored troops (Arachnos) involved in illegal forays into Paragon City, there's all those freelance villains who have committed crimes in Paragon City who are being given sanctuary in the Rogue Isles.... unless someone knows of an extradition treaty Lord Recluse has signed?

Then there's the matter of uncontained nukes controlled by a rogue faction...

And a device designed to drain the powers of all supers, except for the one who will leverage that situation to rule the world...

So, Longbow is justified, though, not too sure about Wyvern.

I've always seen Longbow as skirting the line between "Law Enforcement" and "semi-official vigilantes". Long bow seems more a Vigilante group than a hero group, to me (In GR terms).

Freedom Corps are a local organization for Paragon.Since Longbow is a division of Freedom Corps they;re presence in the Rogues Isles is largely illegal except for Nerva.

Which is why that one arc Red side where it ends with an attempt to capture Crimson is so important. Longbow knows there presence is illegal and if Arachnos had the slightest proof of illegal incursions there would be hell to pay.

As for Arachnos in Faultline, if I remember right Archnos only spawns past the dam which may be considered outside territory similar to Nerva, and in the underground tunnels which would constitute covert ops(like Longbow in GV)

I also believe Sirens is a contested territory.
Bloody Bay is outside US as is Warburg.

EDIT:
For Ironblade above

The UN recognizes the Isles as a sovereign nation ruled by Recluse.

This is why Longbow crosses a line that leads to the brink of open war.

At least you can't prove it in a court of law with any shred of evidence or witness that we can't destroy, terrorize, or kill

Actually Arachnos isn't hostile towards the US. They're hostile to Marcus Cole,the Freedom Phalanx and Longbow.

Using that rationale the same can be said of the Widows in Arachnos.
