A statement released by the Magnus Labs Public Relations Department in response to the deaths of FCF Member Arkin Ford and NWPD Officer Castillo reads simply: "We stand with New Waverly in mourning the loss of one of the city's dedicated police officers and extend our condolences to the victim's family and friends. Our company continues to stand by our association with the First Class Fighters in confidence that the organization still proves overall to be a successful program for the rehabilitation of superhuman criminals."

An official press conference the next day continues to spout the same and similar lines. Dr. Magnus appears strained and remorseful on screen as he gracefully delivers messages of reassurance to the city as befitting an upstanding community leader of his caliber.
