Arcade??? You've got to be kidding. Arcade isn't powerful. Smart maybe, to design Murderworlds, but after your favorite hero or heros trash the latest incarnation of Murderworld, Arcade is out of action for a good long while until he rebuilds. By the same token, before he can try to trash some hero or heros, he has to design and build an appropriate Murderworld, and then get said hero or heros to walk in the door. By the way, who do you folks out there think Arcade gets to do the physical labor of building and repairing Murderworld? Random hoods and lowlifes from the street? Does he pay higher than minimum wage? Wouldn't at least one be willing to double cross him? Or does he get honest (more or less) contractors to do the heavy labor and install the nasty specials himself? Harry harry@berkeley ...!ucbvax!harry

Perhaps he gets his builders from the International Brotherhood of Thugs, Assassins, Muggers, and Killers. An affiliate of the Teamsters. :-) A second possibility is that he hires anyone he wants to, then turns on Murderworld for its test run while they're still inside. This is less likely, since even master criminals probably don't want to mess with New York Unions. :-) More seriously, why couldn't he use his life-like robots to build Murderworld? I've always gotten the distinct impression that the only humans in his operation are Ms. Locke and the man, whose name I forget. Carl {allegra,ihnp4}!convex!ctvax!uokvax!lmaher
