Apparently the Well of the Furies makes you incredibly dumb. We should all avoid the incarnate system at all costs!
Be well, people of CoH.
I hear George Lucas is going to re-write Maria Jenkins arc so that Primal Earth attacks first.
Ha! Lies! I have integrated the Furies water into my system, and yet I am immune it its mundandnanity!
It...*ahem*
It will allow me to finally conker the world, and throw down the spud of glory from the utmost higgins off perambulationary...

Well Steelclaw, reading over your ideas here (/hmmm emote), yes, yes, this all sounds reasonable to me (/yes emote).

It's just that she's not dead there.
To be serious for a moment, I think it all comes down to Neuron and Anti-Matter. Those two trying to one-up each other caused problems in other dimensions, which some heroes were asked to help fix. That got the two worlds to notice each other, and things went downhill from there.
However... Somehow, I get the feeling that neither Neutron nor Anti-Matter told Cole the truth about what happened. It's quite possible that he believes that Primal Earth launched the first shot, and he really thinks he has to defend his world from them.
All that having been said, I think it's far more interesting to believe you're on the right track with the Mc Rib idea. Just think of all the recipes that have been lost on Praetorian Earth. KFC's secret recipe, the special sauce for a Big Mac, Twinkies, Caramel Pecan Silk Supreme pies from Village Inn... Cole's going to live a VERY long time, if not forever. You know how bad you can crave something once you know you can't have it. He's going to be craving ALL those things, possibly for centuries.
He has to invade, it will drive him nuts if he doesn't get his junk food fix.

hubris being a fatal character flaw of the powerful is a trope older than dirt, maybe tyrant's head is just too big, or maybe he believes his own hype as the "great protector" and has grown paranoid about the primals. In a way, he brings about the thing he fears by his and his underling's actions.
So I see this Twitter post:

Can anyone say: "Jersey Shore"?
Really.
Sometimes, I impress my boss. Sometimes, I impress myself. The rest of the time, I scare people. I can live with that.

I think he got a good look at Ms. Liberty and he wants her too. (Or when GR dropped is it rebooted and we never talk about the dirty grandpa again)

But maybe Domi's a little too kinky? And it sounds like Cole prefers to be the dominant one, but you just don't get that when you're with a girl who goes by 'Dominatrix'.

Everyone knows that the real reason for Cole's invasion is due to his ambition to star as Captain Steuben in a movie version of TV's The Love Boat. You think I'm lying? He wears the uniform all the time as it is.

Okay, so Praetoria is going to invade Primal Earth....
Ummm... Why?
I mean, they just came through a war... their city is pretty much one of the few unscorched parcels of land on their whole planet... wouldn't it make more sense for them to expand out and retake their own territory before trying their hand in taking ours? Not to mention that we likely have them outnumbered 10,000 to 1 or so...
But as I continued thinking about it I came up with a few possible reasons why Praetoria is planning to invade us for Issue 19...
* "Seriously, Emperor Cole, they have a living Hamidon. You know... there ARE a few not-so-loyal citizens who said your first solo victory over him was just a fluke... there IS a way you could shut them up you know..."
* Emperor Cole: "Do you have the reports on Primal Earth back yet?" Aide:"Yes, my lord! They outnumber us heavily and their heroes are able to achieve 50th level compared to our meager 20th." Emperor Cole:"Yes, yes.. I know all that.. but what about the OTHER bit of information?" Aide:"Er... yeah... It would seem that Primal Earth's McDonalds HAS in fact brought back the McRib sandwich for a limited time." Emperor Cole:"We attack at dawn!!"
* "You don't understand... Stefan is still alive over in that world... I've always felt a little guilty for killing him here in this dimension... Once we've established a foothold I'll send some flowers... maybe a little Vanilla Fudge... he loves that stuff... you know... get off on the right foot."
* "I wouldn't HAVE to go over there if this world had a Praetorian version of Ghost Widow... or even Silver Mantis... why should Primal have all the really sexy, freaky chicks?"
* "Why shouldn't we invade Primal Earth? I mean, our version of Utopian Society was accepted so well HERE...."
* "Well, okay Marauder... I'll tell you about it ONE more time... but then you really need to go inspect the troops... Over in Primal Earth there's this magical kingdom... where everyone is your friend and the highest duty is to have fun and laugh the day away... this magical kingdom has Princes and Princesses... magic and joy... and it is ruled by six foot tall talking mouse..."
(Which of course leads naturally to the joke.... "Hey Tyrant! You've just conquered Primal Earth! What are you going to do now?")
