An unspecified number of days later (months?), the Plutonian's having a bad day...

	Sure are a lot of undead walking around in comics lately. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Technically, they're not undead...they're an alien sound-based virus that's killing children and animating their corpses. It's pretty gruesome stuff. Finding out that Plutonian was responsible helps explain why he goes so far off the deep-end. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I don't buy it. What did he do that could have been reversed in 10 minutes that a reasonable person couldn't have prevented? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Taken the device away from the guy he'd given it to in the first place. Most likely to transport into the vacuum of space where the sound can't travel or contain it somehow (since by the time the heroes arrives, as we see in the previous issue, it's spreading like wildfire and nearly all of Mexico City (iirc) is the victim). If Qubit had been there at the start, he might have figured it out that much sooner and saved thousands of lives. We don't really know what he could have done, but that's not really the point. The point is what he, the Plutonian, thinks he could have done and how it affected him afterwards.

	Jackson, Tennessee, actually. The 'virus' was a pretty cool idea (in a gruesome way). (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Earlier in the series, it's shown that the Plutonian can fly fast enough to get from the ground to orbit in about a second and a half. By being out of range of the signal fob he gave the guy, he ensured that the problem actually became a problem. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Aren't "re-animated corpses" the definition of undead? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well, that's where the 'technically' part come in. ;) iirc, the virus kills them and then possesses them as part of a group intelligence that gets smarter as it gets more victims. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Well, at least they're well dressed. (Reply to this) (Parent)
