And I’m taking Poison Ivy off the table. Too easy. I think I’d go with The Penguin, mostly cause that just seems like normal crimes.

    It’s like they’re trying to say, “even if you were to somehow agree with a Communist, you can’t trust them, because they could be gaslighting you and using the system for their own nefarious ends like getting a ton of money.” And not even missing a beat when that’s exactly what capitalism is lol

      I thought it was part of their over-all cover. If they’re ideological they’ll fight to the death against an assault. They’re doing it for something they believe in.

      Whereas if they’re just thieves they’re more likely to surrender, so the cops can more aggressively push them since, idk, they’ll surrender?

      It’s a misdirection thing to convince the cops that they’re a different kind of threat than they really are.
