He fled to the Rogue Isles from the Midnighter Club. The PPD had no chance of ever apprehending him.
There are more guys out there with dark glasses and pointy goatees though. We need to round them up before they turn on us!

Is he going to talk to us with two thematically-matched power sets in a costume consisting entirely of two colors?

('Dark scrap with power effects and "modern magus"-type outfit done pretty much entirely in black and gold. With, yes, dark glasses and a goatee...
)

That chick what plays the bird-things...
It's similar to Superman, only instead of putting on glasses as a disguise, taking them off means that they can go un-noticed among normal people.

As a random note, my katana scrapper has a goatee and... sometimes wears sunglasses (but usually an eyepath) and he's... mostly good, aside from dismissing Ms. Liberty and Longbow as useless. (He did not think they handled the third part of the arc well.)

If there's one thing the SSA's have proven it's that the entire Freedom Phalanx is a bunch of dimwitted chumps... the entire team ought to be wiped and heroes with actual brains be brought in. I mean besides Miss Liberty, the Regulators are a better team!
(ML seems to have inherited her grandpappy's talent for arrogance and holier-than-thou attitude- I seriously hope the next recipient of the Well's power is someone who won't be scared into impotence by it- I vote Back Alley Brawler...)

The Regulators, or The Vindicators? Regulators were BAB's team with Blue Steel.

Seriously. I've been playing through the arcs on various characters, and every run I have a sneaking hope that maybe THIS time they won't be so utterly, utterly stupid.

The writing is just getting worse and worse.
I finally played Episode 3 and 4 of "Who Will Die?" over the last couple of days. It is poorly plotted and poorly scripted. The characters are mostly cardboard cutouts or straw men/women who are set up to be knocked down. The key plot point in Episode 4 does not even make any sense.
Troy Hickman is probably shocked that he is thought of as "the good old days" in CoH story-telling.
"How do you know you are on the side of good?" a Paragon citizen asked him. "How can we even know what is 'good'?"
"The Most High has spoken, even with His own blood," Melancton replied. "Surely we know."
Ms. Liberty's fine - she's just very passionate about her job

So what is to keep the current writers from revealing that Hero 1 was so arrogant that next to him, Statesman was Saint Francis? Are you relying on the History of Paragon City? That is routinely ignored regarding Statesman. Are you thinking that Hero 1's time capsule letter will keep him from being a pompous @#$%? The current writers could decide that this was his absolute best day and that usually, he is disdainful of everyone else.|

Why would a noble hero give Excalibur to Ms. Liberty for safe-keeping? She is depicted as such a mega Bee-yotch 24/7 that I cannot imagine what prompted him to do that. Perhaps he will turn out to be an idiot. He would have to be to give that storied sword to what she is depicted as.
It is an insult to one-dimensional characters to call the way the Freedom Phalanx and Ms. Liberty are scripted "one-dimensional."

I'd say the fact that she employs a paramilitary group armed with flame-throwers and machine guns kinda hints at her bee-yotch side ^_^

I mean, everyone knows that. So why weren't these guys locked up already? Dark glasses? Goatee? Yeah, throw him in the zig! He's bad news!
