Plague Rat and [SPOILERS] in the Video Game

General GTG Sentinel Comics Lore
1

I know it's old news that Revo Corp takes Plague Rat into custody following his first defeat, but I marked spoilers just in case.  I just wanted to point out that I (and I'm sure everyone else if I noticed it  :stuck_out_tongue: ) noticed that when you defeat Plague Rat in the video game, you can see the Revo Corp logo on the manacles in which he is being held.  I thought that was a really cool touch.

2

I liked the nod to the upcoming VotM.   I'm a fan of the losing artwork as well. 

3

Yep, I like that little touch on the shackles.  :)

4

Wait, what? Who is Revo Corp? Why are they important?

5

I definitively don't know all of it but they had the pieces of Omnitron after he was destroyed.  Parse worked for them before being changed when Cosmic Omnitron was born.   

6

Revenent is also the CEO, and they are a threat in Tactics

7

They're also the company that created the superhuman formula that gave Setback his enhanced strength and durability, as well as the experiments that gave Fright Train his super strength, and they employ 4 ghostbuster look-alike handlers to control Plague Rat.

8

I thought Baron Blade ran the medical testing that gave Setback his powers. Does he own or work for this evil corporation?

9

Personally, I think that they just follow the money.  We know Baron Blade is definately involved in RevoCorp though as RevoCorp tech is seen on Rebuilt to Survive in Fright Train's deck (and Blade provides the card quote) and the Villains blog for Plague Rat mentions that RevoCorp sent him out to hunt down Setback after he escaped from their lab.

10

if Baron Blade is behind Revocorp many things would make sense.

11

The thing is that we know that the owner of RevoCorp is Revenant, this leaves 3 possibilities:

  1. RevoCorp is a dummy corporation really lead by Baron Blade. - Unlikely as I recall RevoCorp being mentioned as having goverment contracts and the government should do research into all companies it has contracts with to avoid this situation.
  2. RevoCorp does work for anyone who has the money. - Possible
  3. Baron Blade works for RevoCorp. - Again possible.
12

Or Revo and Baron Blade had brief alliance in which they were using each other. :wink:

That's my theory.

13

It would be very useful for Baron Blade to have a supply of tech and operations outside of his territory, and Revo Corp to have someone to help work on and test tech that would not lead heroes to their door.

It is a very functional arrangement.
