![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() INCORRUPTIBLE, on the other hand, is the story of Max Damage, who (if it could not be deduced from his name) is a villain. It is never good enough, and he finally cracks under the pressure of his own guilty, pain and too-good persona. His own foster family turned him away because of their fear of him, despite his good intentions, and so he seeks to prove humans wrong and he uses his powers for good. He can hear heartbeats and worldwide conversations and he knows the love of him is superficial, fear-based, fake. Nearly god-like hero, Plutonian, can hear the fear on every human’s lips. More insidious and real is the pressure that beneath the need and love is a fear of the hero so profound that the fear permeates all social interactions no matter what level the relationship. IRREDEEMABLE explores the tension of living the heroic destiny and the pressure that comes with always being needed and loved (so long as you meet those expectations of need). Thus is the story of Mark Waid's IRREDEMABLE and INCORRUPTIBLE. ![]() Good turns bad, bad in turn changes sides and when the heroes and villains have capes millions of people die. We all have our role to play, but when one of those roles gets changed –– reversed –– everyone's roles and lives go altogether catawampus. ![]()
