True, but Regis got severely worked over by two of my three favorite Wildstorm SPBs... Jenny Sparks in issue 5 of secret history and Jack Hawksmoor in issue 8 of the main Authority title. And Midnighter's not the total psychopath he's made out to be. He's much, much scarier than that. The bit where he 'bonds' with Tank man in #15 shows that he's got a lateral mind.

Cool quote. I can see Midnighter saying that. Except what bullethole? Largo doesn't need a gun, had if he had one, Midnighter wouldn't come that close to getting hit before he fed it to Mr. HyperBuma.

I think that that was the entire point.
