YES SIR!
Bonus points if we get an epic battle where the heroes are making a big push into RI and various villains come together to say "If this place is hell then we're the devils. GET. OUT."
I do not suffer from altitis, I enjoy every character of it.
no, VOTE CTHULU. Why mess around with all of the lesser evils.

Pfft! You wanna talk about non-easy mode? Play Praetoria. All your low level toggles? Useless because very few groups deal standard damage, and when they do, it's coupled with something nasty. Your mezzes? Don't mean @#$% to ghouls and Destroyers.|

Anyway though, I'd vote for Lord Recluse if he were more like Doctor Doom and less like Darkseid. I mean we've seen the future both red and blueside, as well as the state of the Rogue Isles.
Recluse does not take care of anything he controls, instead he lets things go to hell and things rise out of the rubble to kill him. That doesn't sound like a responsible leader to me.

one serious question that does come of this is what exactly states' death will do for recluse. If the stated reason for states dying is to push our characters into the forefront, will recluse die as well so that villains similarly become the big bad?
Also, recluse has always maintained a balancing relationship with states, while neither one really has done much in lore for a very long time, both are kind of the silent figureheads of their respective sides, now with states gone, does that mean recluse diminishes because his parity with states was what justified him, or do they try to make him more aggressive to make the newly "in charge" heroes have something to do. We have been pretty much told that the next big arc is the battallion, so recluse would be getting side burnered pretty fast anyhow. so is the other option that recluse is going to die as well, maybe even be killed by states in a final act?

I honestly think hes going to play a bigger part than they are letting on. Either in this story arc or the next. My guess is by the time the war with Battalion reaches its peak, both Recluse and Emperor Cole will be fighting along side us. Recluse reminds me of Magneto in that way.

Heh, it would be interesting if Recluse acted more like a politician. This thread reminded me of something I wrote a few years ago.
---------------------------------------
"Recession in the Rogue Islands"
Johnny Snatch, the "supa' gangster", was not amused by this unfortunate turn of events.
"Hey boss..." one of his hired thugs began.
Johnny Snatch prided himself on having a cool head in tough situations, but this... this situation was almost insulting in a way!
"Where's the money, boss?"
Johnny Snatch's cigar burned and he blankly watched its smoke swirl through the empty bank vault. He knew the banks were having a hard time, but he hadn't expected this. He would have a word with his contact after this venture, assuming he survives it...
-------------------------------------------------------
Press conferance in Grandville
Lord Recluse: "I know many people are concerned about the current financial crisis, and while normally I'd kick a puppy and laugh at the misfortune of all you peasants, I need the Rogue Island banks to stay in business so I can fund my fiendish plots. Therefore, I have decided to implement a comprehensive doomsda... er, I mean financial rescue plot.I mean plan! To explain my plan, I will now yield the floor to my newly appointed secretary of the treasury, Captain Mako.
Trepid applause and nervous looks fills the room as Captain Mako takes to the podium.
"I been told by Lord Recluse that the banks need liquidity. Well, as an expert o' the seas, I know lots about liquids, so da' banks are bein' injected with hundreds o' gallons of sea water even as we speak, financial crisis solved!"
-----------------------------------------------------
Appearing on a television showing the nightly news...
"Thank you for joining us on the nightly news, my name is Amanda Vines and my co-anchor is a Nemesis Automaton"
"All hail Lord Nemesis!"
"Thank you, Gerald. Our top story tonight is the unveiling of Arachnos's financial bailout package."
Mako: "...as an expert o' the seas, I know lots about liquids..."
"When a reporter asked if Captain Mako knew anything at all about how financial markets work, Mako charged into the crowd and went into a killing frenzy, there were no survivors."
News ticker: Remember, television is your friend. Television makes everything better."
"And in other news, experts predict there will be a decline in Nemesis plots this holiday season, as even would-be world conquerors find their wallets constrained by the global recession. It is unclear how the producers of automaton parts will weather this tough season."
Nemesis, watching from home: "Two words: Weather Machine"
World Victors, my dear, are not *voted* on.
