Demifiction: A Letter to Editor

Demifiction: A Letter to Editor

Dear Editor,

I just have one question: How many people have to die or get hurt before Spectrum learns the meaning of the term “collateral damage?” That supervillains shouldn't be trying to make superbugs does not excuse them from not doing their best to reduce harm to innocent bystanders. Nor have I heard anything like an apology to any of the victims or their families.

If you are going to wear the cape, then be responsible!

Sincerely,
A Concerned Citizen

Well, I had to think of some way to translate "gulyaet" into English. It's the Russian verb for Cossacks riding around on a rampage. Which is pretty much what I think of the Spectrum, who purport to be an organized group but are just ... not what they like to think of themselves.
