Triangle board joke is top-tier comedy. 
“The Inexcusable Parse” sounds like a good book title, just sayin’.
Ah, now we know how Robot Christopher was created.

It occurs to me that early Parse is literally a killer robot - she got her “code” from Cosmic Omnitron, and it made her try to solve the world’s problems in the most brutally efficient method possible, just like Omnitron did. (There isn’t one hint about this version of the character in the card game, of course; anyone playing SOTM but not listening to The Letters page would assume that the SOTM-verse’s equivalent to The Punisher was obviously Ex-Patriette, but it turns out First Appearance Parse is way closer.)
I would hope that later in her career, after she becomes Space Parse, she has a story where she runs into some Celestial Executioners and is like “There, but for the grace of…”

There is something quite delightfully ironic about the fact that Expatriette is closer to being the Sentinel Comics version of Hawkeye (former criminal with a supervillain mentor/parental figure who eventually turned good after encounters with heroes, trick ammunition), while early Parse is closer to being the Punisher (focused solve-crime-by-murders person with poor social skills).
