People have complained that your AE buildings are everywhere... that they lack the neighborhood aesthetic sense... but they now each house an incontrovertible truth: that the esteemed Back Alley Brawler is in fact, without question, a member of the Freedom Phalanx.

As Positron himself has validated your system and your work, we can now put to rest this troublesome issue. Your databases now enshrine the information that we, the play-... um... the heroic and villainous participants and creators within your entertainment system have sought. For that, we owe you our thanks.

Yours sincerely,
Johanna Sinclair
Videographer, Paragon City

Pfffttt... As if you can trust anything that wacko says! Where did he get his database info from, anyway? Did you ever ask yourself that when you were digitizing yourself into his little video game? Hmmm? Did you?

Can you even prove that you're the same Johanna Sinclair who went into it instead of a copy who was programmed to BELIEVE that about the Brawler?

Yeah. Like I'm ready to believe anything Doctor Aeon says.

You could try clicking on the View Full Size link you get when you mouse-over the image...

Better Doctor Aeon than Nemesis I always say.

BAB is a member of the Freedom Phalanx in the future where Recluse conquers Paragon. That doesn't mean he's a FP member now.

I seem to recall from the comics that BAB had mostly retired until the Rikti Invasion - and it was that event that brought him back.

I've always thought of his relationship with FP a very akin to the Marvel "Defenders" - as a kind of erstwhile or honorary member - trusted to be a part of the team without being a card carrying member.

And as I write I seem to recall he was one of the subjects of the History plaques - and (possibly?) pre-dates the Phalanx by some years. So from my perspective he's a part yet distinct from FP but maybe not distinct enough to give him an individual group in the AE?

it only sucks if you don't know how to use it. If you do then it's invaluable!

BaB pre-dates the current incarnation of the Phalanx. The original Phalanx was formed in the early days of Marcus Cole's career. The Dark Watcher was a member as was Maiden Justice,i.e. Monica Richter Cole. (I am making an assumption here that being an East-Coast Gal in an old-fashioned era that she would have followed the custom, which many of us today would consider old-fashioned, of adopting her maiden name as her middle name.)

If we take the Freedom Phalanx novel as canon, then the height of BaB's career would have coincided with the decline of the Phalanx into something purely ceremonial. I expect that Statesman is the only Phalanxer that he truly considers to be a peer, though Sister Psyche might also fall into that area for him.

Technically speaking, Twitpic is a third-party service that isn't associated with Twitter (unless Twitter bought them or something; I did hear that Twitter adopted some built-in image viewing recently).

I'd assume that this is really a browser issue, Ironik. Either your browser is dated and could use an update or you need to loosen up your security restrictions and turn on javascript.
