Positron:
Friend or Foe?

Hey, kids!  I have a great idea.  Let’s wrap a weapon of mass destruction in some foil and set him in the center of our financial district.  Sounds absurd, doesn’t it?  That’s exactly what Freedom Phalanx has done by allowing Positron to, not only remain in Positron: Friend or Foe?Paragon City, but be stationed in the heart of our city’s commerce.

It’s a little too convenient if you ask me.  If Statesman truly wants to retain his authority over the city, which I believe he does with every fiber of my building, what better way to ensure people don’t defect than to station a bomb in the city?  Perhaps our Statesman learned something from when Nemesis tried to do the same.  Currently, he can retain his s
Positroneat at the head of our city while showing an amicable face.  If too many people start seeing the truth, maybe that little ticker of his in Steel Canyon will become a threat rather than a commander.

 That’s not to say anything of Positron’s personality though.  Young heroes start out in this city and seek his guidance, and what does he do?  He sends them on rigorous, painful pursuits.  He claims it “builds character,” but I’m sure I’m not the only one that can picture a roguish grin below his garish helm when he says so.  He also seemingly believes it’s educational for heroes to blackout at his feet.  He just stands there as they are beaten to a pulp, probably laughing inaudibly. 

One can only hazard a guess why.  Maybe the power has gone to his head too; maybe he’s sadistic; maybe (and most frighteningly) Positron’s armor is so fragile that he can’t budge from his podium.  Regardless, he’s too dangerous to have in the city.  I’m sure Statesman knows so as well, but, as I said above, having Positron standing guard has its advantages for our cruel costumed king.
He's dangerous!


Positron likes to stand around...
...while heroes get hurt!
