Starbolts #667: A Simple Investigation

 Hail!

    Well, we knew going right to the Department of Metahuman Affairs with that evidence wasn't going to be that easy. At least we know for certain that Ruby had been telepathically manipulating her lawyer. AND we know that he isn't a DMA lawyer. Just one she personally hired. I'm with Jack. I bet he's a former Terra Nova agent. It wouldn't surprise me in the slightest.

We'll be dealing with what's been going on with the second Iron Eagle soon enough. We've just got this current storyline to deal with. But, let's recap Roger's life up to this point.

    Roger was the leader of a team of heroes called the Guardians and he took up the mantle of Iron Eagle and used the name while Andrea became Lady Liberty. For years he was one of the planet's greatest heroes. He got into a fight with one of his old enemies, the Jade Skull and he implanted his consciousness into our hero with the help of the witch, Zarantha.

    Under the Jade Skull's control, Roger destroyed the Guardians' home, killed several of his teammates, captured Jenna and Firaxil and performed hideous experiments on them. Jenna and Firaxil eventually recovered from the damage he caused but the damage was done and Roger went into self imposed exile once he was restored to his former self. It also didn't help that he unknowingly had one of Carter's clones as a teammate. Sufficed it to say Roger's life has been in a downward spiral since Starbolts #240, a comic that came out almost ten years ago.

    Andrea and the others eventually found him and offered him a teaching position at the academy. Things were pretty quiet until now.  Now he sees Jack and Crystal as threats to America. What the catalyst was remains a mystery. It might have something to do with the events of Starbolts #665. Either way, the Starbolts will have to deal with his newest problems after this trial is over.

 The poor guy's life is gonna come to a head soon when the current Iron Eagle comes face to face with his predecessor. But, that'll have to wait for another day. We've got this trial to go to!

See ya next time!
